What would you say if you could walk on the seabed fossils dating back millions of yearsThe beautiful Patagonia Argentina, invites you on this occasion, to walk among dinosaurs. In a space decorated with lights and sounds of the era, the Museo Egidio Feruglio offers a peculiar type route scenic.

The birth of the museum

Patagonia Argentina, has for many years, a privileged place at the time of the research palaeontological. According to the specialists have the potential scope of this discipline in the area, is comparable only to certain parts of the world, such as large deposits of Gobi (China) or Alberta (Canada).

The area has been growing receptacle campaigns scientific research, providing more and more amazing discoveries in the field.

Given these circumstances, both locals and professionals from the area, saw the need to establish a framework for the protection of discoveries for future generations.

Thus, in 1988, begins to form the Museo Egidio Feruglio, future site of the pieces discovered containment and development of various research programs and dissemination of knowledge acquired.

On December 28, 1990, the museum finally opens its doors to the public. In parallel, results in the creation of the Fundación Egidio Feruglio, which guides and supports the museum.

Since then, the fruitful work of the researchers of the museum, have been able to locate in the international framework as a benchmark in the area. Thus, constantly establishing partnerships with several major institutions such as American Museum of Natural History in the United States.

A film editing

Like their larger counterparts in the rest of the world, the MEF, sought to establish for the design of the display format of the story. This means that each of their rooms, looking to tell a story to the visitor, on a more vivid way, that reality prehistoric of which today we see only the footprints.

The script and the stage

The general assembly of the museum, was designed based on a script, a story, as happens in the film. That is why, in its various rooms can be found, different scenes.

Each space, is a theatrical setting in which the lights and sounds, are strategically placed.

For their part, exhibited dinosaurs (among which we find more than 7 original skeletons ) appear in hunting pose, showing off their bodies and contoured jaws threatening, among other scenes.

In one of his rooms more attractive you can see yourself walking on the sea floor fossil ago million years.

In his tour, the museum opens its doors with the first traces of the presence of human, through the first living organisms of the sea floor (rooms below).

Birds and fish from the Jurassic, fossil dinosaur eggs and plants of the vast forests that covered Antarctica 250 million years ago (yes, the Patagonia was a warm and humid then) are other attractions we can see.

Sedlec Ossuary Tourism and mystery

The tourism traditional offers you usually walks with beautiful mountains, blue lakes and lovely beaches. Today I approached a different, which is mounted, based on the vestiges of an era uprising in  Europe, a mysterious chapel.

Ossuary of Sedlec, what do you mean?

The Sedlec Ossuary (Czech Kostnice Sedlec ) is basically a chapel of the Catholic religion was artistically decorated with human bones. Inside, we find from crosses and family crests, to movables as lighting chandeliers. From there, hence its name.

This enclosure of religious practices, is built under the Church of All Saints Cemetery (in Czech Hrbitovní Všech kostel svatych ) in a suburb of the Czech Republic, Kutna Hora, more precisely in Sedlec.

Doing a bit of history

Thanks to a special gesture taken by Abbot Henry, the monastery of the Cistercian Order of Sedlec, the cemetery of the abbey who presided, was converted from the thirteenth century, a favorite spot throughout Europe Central to bury their dead.

The abbot, returning from a trip to the Holy Land, where he was sent by King Ottokar II of Bohemia in 1278, brought a small piece of land of Golgotha. With her, sprayed her graveyard.

The news of this pious act, was quickly spread, attracting to itself, all eyes and generating a large influx of burials to their plots.

In the mid- fourteenth century the Black Death, brought large numbers of deaths, which added to those produced by the Hussite Wars ( early fifteenth century ) filled the capacity of the cemetery, causing its expansion considerably.

In the year   1400, was built in the central area of this hallowed ground, a Gothic church. It was equipped with a dome on top and a chapel in the basement as an ossuary (bone conserve space).

In this way, they went there moved the mortuary remains of the great mass excavated along the building.

In subsequent years ( 1703 to 1710 ), the chapel was rebuilt with a new entry to be incorporated into the old building (at the mercy of the need to support the front wall that was leaning). The work of remodeling was done in style Baroque Czech by Jan Santini Aichel.

The art of bone turnover

In 1870, the family Schwarzenberg, wants to end the great mass of bones settled for so many years in Sedlec. To do this, hire woodcarver, František Rint, that through their artistic abilities the site tidy.

As I related to the beginning, the artist, took the bones and rearranged so as ornamental and functional within the small chapel.

We can find in their creations, crosses, the arms of the Schwarzenberg family itself (management of labor), big walls and even profuse decorations flanking the altar.

An extraordinary chandelier illuminates the center of the nave of the chapel and garlands of skulls link it to the sides. This magnificent piece, it is said, contains at least one of each bone that forms the human body.

In closing his work, the artist leaves his mark for all with his signature also made of bone, which could have been yours.

Tunisia Sun Beach and culture heritage Tourism

The new authority wants to give more prominence to cultural tourism.

Phoenicians, Romans, Jews and Arabs are some of the people who settled on its shores over the centuries.

Tunisia belonged to Spain during the reign of Charles V.

The democratic revolution that has lived Tunisia wants to change a lot, also their tourism. Its tourism administration has decided to give greater prominence to the cultural and historical tourism in the country and consolidated with the classic 'sun and beach'. The goal, according to the National Tourist Office of Tunisia (ONTT), is to make known his identity after the passage of numerous civilizations throughout history.

A new approach

Tunisia is the smallest country in North Africa, located between the Atlas and the Mediterranean Sea. Approximately 40% of the country is composed of the Sahara Desert, also has 1,300 km of coastline .

It is a cultural destination to discover for the majority of Europeans after the victory of the democratic process in Tunisia in the last elections of October 23 has been a shift in focus of the tourism industry of the country trying to get travelers to this region echo of the importance it has had in the past centuries. "The country is their latest news as a destination for sun and sand settled, but above all as a cultural destination yet to be discovered for the majority of European visitors, "says ONTT . Its strategic location in the Mediterranean and the many civilizations that have occupied (including the Spanish during the reign of Charles V) are configured as either a mestizo country .

A Mediterranean culture and meztiza

Culturally, the Tunisians are a fairly liberal nation . Throughout history there have been frequent exchanges with the rest of the Mediterranean peoples. Art has been very influenced by the cultural mix of the country.

Tunisia passed by the Phoenicians, Romans, Jews, Arabs, and even Spanish Phoenicians, Romans, Jews and Arabs are some of the people who settled in the north coast and in the south, in the desert. These people were added, later, Muslims in Spain and Ottoman Turks. He was also part of the Spanish crown during the reign of Charles V. Thus, in Tunisia find arts and heritage of different styles, from the contributions of the Carthaginians and Romans to the alpine houses with red tiles of Ain Draham, Islamic architecture of the Arab medinas and underground dwellings of the Berbers to the south.
