Palatine chapel in Aachen

Palatine Chapel in Aachen


Aisle in chapel



Floor plan of Charlemagne's palace chapel
There is a sixteen-sided ambulatory with a gallery overhead encircling the central octagonal dome. The plan and decoration owe much to the sixth-century Basilica of San Vitale, Ravenna. Indeed Charlemagne visited Ravenna three times, the first in 787. In that year he wrote to Pope Hadrian I and requested "mosaic, marbles, and other materials from floors and walls" in Rome and Ravenna, for his palace.[2]
The construction, including barrel and groin vaults and an octagonal cloister-vault in the dome, reflects late Roman, or Pre-Romanesque, practices rather than the Byzantine techniques employed at San Vitale, and its plan simplifies the complex geometry of the Ravenna building. Multi-coloured marble veneer is used to create a sumptuous interior. The chapel makes use of ancient spolia, conceivably from Ravenna (Einhard claimed they were from Rome and Ravenna), as well as newly carved materials. The bronze decoration is of extraordinarily high quality, especially the doors with lions heads and the interior railings, with their Corinthian order columns and acanthus scrolls.
The dome was decorated originally with a fresco then later with mosaic. After a fire these have been replaced with a nineteenth-century reproduction, which has the same iconography as the original if not the stylistic qualities. It depicts the twenty-four elders of the Apocalypse bearing crowns and standing around the base of the dome. Above the main altar, and facing the royal throne, is an image of Christ in Majesty.[3] The upper gallery of the chapel was the royal space, with a special throne area for the king, then emperor, which let onto the liturgical space of the church and onto the atrium, outside, as well.
The main entrance is dominated by a westwork comprising the western facade including the entrance vestibule, rooms at one or more levels above, and one or more towers. These overlook the atrium of the church. The addition of a westwork to churches is one of the Carolingian contributions to Western architectural traditions.

Ötzi the ice man

The last analysis performed on the mummy's oldest human world of 5300 years old and known as the man of ice, have revealed that he was beaten and murdered a crush, as reported yesterday by the daily Il Corriere della Sera. Since its discovery, Ötzi, as the mummy known to have been found in 1991 between ice OTZ Valley, in the Italian Alpine region of Alto Adige, has undergone numerous tests that have all the details on your life: he was a resident of the Italian Alps, from 3300 a. C. (Copper Age in Europe) and died at 46 years.
But the big mystery that has surrounded the man with ice in all these years was how he died, as was initially thought that was caught by a storm while hunting near his village. However, some wounds on his body made the researchers suspect. Recent reviews by a team at the LMU University of Munich (Germany) in collaboration with the Institute of Pathology of Bolzano (Italy) have revealed that the man died on the ice after several attacks by some rivals.
"It turns out that Ötzi was beaten twice in his last days and living in two separate attacks," said the head of the team of scientists, Andreas Nerlich, in statements to the newspaper Corriere della Sera. Wounds, found 5300 years after his death are three: a deep cut on his hand, the result of a first attack and then an arrow wound, whose tip has been found under the right armpit. Scientists say that shortly after being wounded while bleeds, it received the final fatal blow in the back with a blunt instrument. When found, the ice man wearing a goat skin shoes and a hat with him and had a copper ax and a quiver full of arrows.
FIND The September 19, 1991 appeared on the Similaun glacier, 94 meters of the fuzzy border between Austria and Italy, a corpse which was soon proved that he belonged to a Neolithic inhabitants. Years of study have not led the revolution in archeology announcing the biggest. Nor has been a fiasco because of the historic removal of the remains sloppy. The multitude of evidence that has been submitted indicate that Ötzi was a shepherd of the current Italian side of the Alps died in a normal transit of livestock. The findings provide a monumental amount of information that confirms prior knowledge on Prehistoric Alpine population.
Before there were similar findings, such as Danish men from the mob. "But the oldest of these cases was 2000 years, and people being executed were naked and without tools," says Spindler.
Perhaps one of the most striking findings of the study body and utensils from the man in the ice are indicating healing of the society in which they lived. Three dried mushrooms hanging from ropes have been interpreted as a kind of portable kit, according to Konrad Spindler. Two of them still contained active ingredients: an antibiotic and a antihemorrágico.
REWARD Last year, the German tourist Erika Simon, who along with her husband, who died recently, found the remains of 'Ötzi' succeeded after a long legal battle to receive a reward of 150,000 euros from the Bolzano region, exposing the mummy in a museum. The couple had received in 1994 a symbolic reward of 5,200 euros.

PREGUNTAS SOBRE EL CLIMA DE ESPAÑA

Climate Conditions in central and northern Spain are considered near-perfect in spring and late summer, as you avoid the oppressive heat of July and August, and the much colder conditions of late fall and winter.

The 'Costa del Sol' and other southern coastal areas are pleasant throughout the year. Across the Andalucia Region (even in winter) the days are usually sunny and warm. In Andalucia summer months are frequently hot and humid, but manageable.

For those seeking summer heat relief, the mountains are always a good choice, as well as the northern coastal areas from La Coruna to San Sabastian. In addition, the eastern Mediterranean coastal cities - from Barcelona south to Cartagena - and the Balearic Islands, are much more temperate.

The central plateau (or Meseta) experiences dry, freezing conditions December - February, while summer temps regularly reach into the high 80's, with low 90's common in July and early August.

The northern mountain areas - especially the Cantabrica and Pyrenees - are much colder in winter with heavy snowfall in the upper elevations.

¿QUÉ PIENSAS SOBRE ELLO?

Pienso que esta bien explicado porque mas o menos se parece a las conclusiones que hemos sacado los españoles sobre el clima de España.

¿ES CORRECTO?

Si es correcto porque hacen igual que nosotros han dividido a España entres partes y han distribuido bien los climas. Han situado bien los climas en el mar cantábrico, atlántico y mediterraneo.

¿SE AJUSTA A LO QUE TU SABES SOBRE EL CLIMA DE ESPAÑA?

Si. Se ajusta bastante a lo que yo e estudiado y lo que estoy estudiando.

clima polar
