In the Kingdom of Bohemia (now the Czech Republic),
[there were silver mines.
Knowing that silver when mixed with other chemicals combines,
they made Thaler, a silver coin used throughout Europe,
[for almost four hundred years....
I wonder, a distorter, a falsifier of history,
[how much whiskey, vodka and beers,
would have to be drunk to distort, falsify, twist,
[and misquote reality,
by writing on the internet misinformation,
[falsehoods that only non-scholars could agree,
and if it were to be ranked would be .....of the first degree.
So I read that the Thaler was the first silver coin in Europe,
[while everyone knows,
that Europe's museums are filled with ancient Greek silver coins,
[which ripped from guys like Elgin*, know vulturows crows ..
A victim of fraud, the reader and listener,
[fake news and fake stories are twins,
which serve dark purposes endlessly,
[and when one lie is over, another begins.

* Thaler, Dollar,
Some of the modern denominations of currencies, such as talir, dollar,
etc. resulted from the corruption of the ancient Greek word "Talanton".
Talanton was a unit of weight during antiquity, as well as the money amount corresponding to gold or silver of this weight.

* Elgin, The Parthenon Marbles, also known as Elgin Marbles, are a collection of sculptures coming from the Acropolis of Athens.
They were removed by Thomas Brues, the 7th Earl of Elgin, an ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1799 to 1803, and moved to Britain in 1806. Taking advantage of the Ottoman hegemony in Greek territory, he managed and acquired a firman from the Ottoman Sultan for their restitution the Parthenon for the purpose of measuring and stamping them in designs, and then proceeding to remove and fry them.
The existence of a firman and, if any, the exact spirit of the license, is questioned. These sculptures were stored at the British Museum of London in 1816. In 1936 they were placed at the Duveen exhibition created for this purpose.
Since 1983, at the initiative of the then Minister of Culture Melina Merkouri, Greece has been trying to bring the marbles back to Athens.
The effort of the Greek authorities to return the Parthenon sculptures to their place of origin and creation is actively supported by an international, homonymous Committee.
The necessity of their return to Greece is also confirmed by the official position of UNESCO's representative, based on the principle of maintaining the integrity of monuments of global cultural heritage.
From time to time, various proposals from reputable, neutral observers have been published to find a solution to the dispute between Greece and the British Museum on the issue of the return of stolen sculptures.
In an announcement issued by the British Museum in April 2007, it states that it does not intend to grant the ownership of the Parthenon Sculptors to Greece.... !!!!!
