Monday 22/12 at 17.30 coatings will be the headquarters of the Pro Loco in p. Republic, a meeting between representatives of all associations interested in doing something for our rich cultural heritage. This is all at once to organize a major conference in town to make proposals to begin the Man of Altamura. If the initiative proves successful it will pave the way for even seriously address the problems relating to the dinosaur quarry, at the Teatro Mercadante, etc.. Please read and consider carefully the letter that I propose. THANKS!
Quel che si sarebbe dovuto assolutamente fare e che non si è fatto per l'Uomo di Altamura
As I wrote in previous articles, from the moment of discovery are born to the cave and the Man our three basic needs:
1, protection, ie protection from human pressure, from mal'intenzionati and any other form of degradation caused by the opening of the cave;
2 ° knowledge, namely research, study and dissemination;
3 ° promoting cultural and tourist development.
The year-end after almost 15 years after the discovery that offers a more bleak:
is not only no protection, but it has been devastated in maniera purtroppo irreversibile esponendolo a forti e prolungate luci con conseguente densa formazione di alghe;
non è stato fatto uno straccio di ricerca scientifica che tra l'altro non sarebbe costata nulla se eseguita da qualificati scienziati stranieri (visto che non siamo stati capaci di farla noi, avremmo dovuto farla realizzare almeno dagli altri);
la promozione turistica attuata? Una tragica farsa.
Ad Altamura nessuno credeva, e crede tutt’ora, a cominciare dagli amministratori, che intorno al nostro grande protagonista si possa promuovere uno strepitoso movimento culturale and tourism.
Few people know that when at the end of '93 spread the clamor of our discovery came forward NTV among others, the prestigious Japanese television who sponsored the restoration of the Sistine Chapel and the Walt Disney; obvious purpose to organize a huge tourist movement while being aware that the precious relic would never have been able to express directly to the public.
Obviously, these big organizations know what they were doing and we knew we, collectively, if we had a minimum of attention, love and reflection on the opportunities that were offered to us by fate.
in the local environment had and you are still convinced that without thorough scientific understanding of the precious artifact and without the possibility of exhibiting to the public the precious bones can not be organized around a consistent flow of tourists to our fossil ancestors.
Let us try to reason backwards: Suppose by contradiction that (it is often in mathematical proofs) that you know now all you can know the Man Altamura.
Famo What?
Let the beautiful museum, where we settle everything what you know with models, casts, animations, movies, etc.. and then we tell people: "Come and see the Man of Altamura !"?... We do this or what?
to this question are all at least as cod or dare ideas confused or crazy.
And even assuming that we face this great animated museum, there would be some idiot who would come from afar, perhaps from abroad, to see him?
It 'clear that the museums because no "ordinary" they are not widely viewed in our country and also because, once dissolved the riddles of Man, will be published articles, Books, CDs and DVDs, movies, etc.. and interested, staying comfortably in an armchair at home, possibly linked to the web, can know and see everything you want.
And even assuming, speaking for absurd that so many people come and see our beautiful museum and mysterious wonders of the Man of Altamura, it would leave with bitter mouth, for not understanding a beloved ... tube on human evolution, on the australopithecines, hominids on, on pithecanthropus ....
In light of the above it is clear that one can not understand and know our human fossil without any idea of \u200b\u200bwhat was the adventure evolution, ie the long and extraordinary journey that has led us to be who we are.
E 'this is the issue to consider and evaluate!
added that, in addition to the discoveries mentioned in previous chapters, there are many other glaring been made in the last 40 years. In conclusion, the Man of Altamura and had to be explained to the public in a big scenario that highlights and celebrates the history of the origins of man that every day is enriched by new discoveries.
If you are convinced this is what comes immediately to the conclusion that were lost fifteen anni!
La grande occasione per Altamura era quella “d’impadronirsi”, con il pretesto dell’Uomo, del tema “ evoluzione umana” e sviscerarlo in maniera seria ed eclatante.
Quindici anni fa c’erano tutti gli elementi per poter partire con la grande esposizione in parola che, progettata e avviata con un lavoro paziente e sistematico, e con una spesa molto inferiore a quel che si è speso per il fasullo anzi dannoso progetto sarastro, avrebbe dato bellissimi frutti già dopo 4 o 5 anni.
Si dovevano consultare persone preparate e qualificatissime allora già note e apprezzate. Faccio per esempio only three names: John Pinna, director of the Natural History Museum of Milan and prolific author of publications and services of interest of the Quark, the famous broadcast by Piero Angela, Carlo Peretto, one of the discoverers of the deposit of Isernia, founder of the museum on and one of the main organizers of the World Congress of Forlì, Alberto Angela, anthropologist, author of the essay with his father, Piero "The extraordinary story of man" of 1989, before the discovery of our Men's and author of services that now we all know.
Once the largest exhibition of Altamura Man is said to have found its worthy place, would have been "embedded" come la pietra più preziosa, sarebbe stato il principale protagonista.
Alla fiera di Forlì, dove si è tenuto il citato congresso mondiale, ho visto materializzare qualcosa di simile. Per dare un’idea, si trattava di una specie di “expolevante” tutta dedicata alla preistoria e alla protostoria con più di 100 espositori provenienti da tutto il mondo. Ho avuto occasione anche di riscontrare quali erano le attrazioni che facevano maggior presa sul pubblico.
Uno degli stand più affollati, per esempio, era quello di un tizio che lavorava, o meglio tentava di lavorare la selce come nella preistoria. Se aveste visto le facce di quelli che l’osservavano!
Well our man flint working and you know how to produce it, then it would not be hard for anyone to learn to do it. There's plenty of flint in the Gargano and then in this great utopian Altamura we could have had exposure to a sector of great interest and, moreover, producer of worked flints and marketable.
ideas how I can do this and you can take out 50 more, it demonstrates the viability and therefore is also confirmed another important truth: that if we had "scratched themselves", ie if the town of Altamura, after conferences, meetings, etc.., had set e portato avanti questo discorso con entusiasmo affidandolo a chi ha veramente prodotto disinteressatamente cultura ad Altamura cominciando dal Cars ed evitando ingerenze di politici, superburocrati e baroni universitari la spesa necessaria si sarebbe ridotta almeno di tre quarti e avrebbe anche dato lavoro e professionalità a parecchi ragazzi.
Ci siamo presi la briga di metter su ad Altamura un istituto professionale per il turismo e si sono sciupati e si continuano a sciupare tante e tante possibilità di lavoro.
Prevedo una ulteriore obiezione: come si fa ad essere sicuri che, una volta realizzata la grande esposizione, verrebbe gente in numero sufficiente da gratificare tanti sforzi? Si fa in questo way: first of all, finally creating a structure valid, credible, efficient, able to create even more enthusiasm or interest as the subject permits, and it is not difficult to achieve the purpose with the media today.
Secondly, once you are sure to show and offer good stuff, it is advertised properly, not only for tourism organizations. For example (teaches Castellana): send to all schools in Italy proper leaflet in which also spoke of the dinosaurs (if we could do something for them), bread and so on. Realizing everything right certainly a good percentage of schools enter the adventurous Origin of Man nei suoi percorsi d’istruzione.
Sollecito ora una domanda: cosa credete che sarebbero venute a fare la Walt Disney e la NTV ad Altamura? Avrebbero aspettato i risultati delle indagini scientifiche per muoversi? Avrebbero tentato di esporre direttamente al pubblico il nostro fossile?
Avrebbero realizzato a grandi linee né più e né meno di quello che vi ho esposto.
Ci diceva un giornalista del Mattino di Napoli venuto apposta per Ciccillo ad Altamura: “Altre nazioni hanno pochissimo patrimonio culturale e fanno una grande pubblicità su quel poco che hanno, noi abbiamo grandi tesori e non siamo capaci di produrre niente di buono!”
I am reminded of what the British were able to do with ... nothing! I speak of the famous Lock Ness monster: you think that they had established a submarine service for tourists hoping to meet the monster, and this in a lake without fish, among other things! And we the monsters (dinosaurs) have them, chased the tourists!
the British are crazy or we're crazy, reckless, ignorant and dishonest us?
To know and understand that it is first necessary to know when dating and know his place in the changing panorama.
the sole purpose of making more interessante e intuitivo l’approccio alla scienza delle nostre origini traccio un parallelo tra la paleoantropologia e l’astronomia. Nella prima come nella seconda le distanze tra gli oggetti di studio si misurano generalmente in anni, cioè con unità di misura del tempo. Nel caso dei corpi celesti col tempo impiegato dalla luce a percorrere lo spazio che li separa.
Nell’universo le distanze massime arrivano a raggiungere anche miliardi di anni luce, valori troppo grandi per essere anche solo intuiti dalla nostra ridotta immaginazione, ma anche i milioni di anni che ci separano dai nostri lontanissimi progenitori non sono di facile comprendonio.
Orbene l’astronomia si può consider consists of three areas: the solar system, our galaxy and the deep spaces.
The first, although very large (hundreds of billions of km), is infinitely small compared to our galaxy that contains at least something like 200 billion "only" and turn it disappears from the universe to know that contains millions of galaxies.
The human paleontology can be thought of composed of three major fields of study: that of our species of homo sapiens sapiens (so we were a bit 'too presumptuously autoqualificati) from its origins to the threshold of history, one related to other humans 'different' previous (neandertalensis homo sapiens, homo erectus, homo habilis) and that of pithecanthropus (from the greek ape-man) are still considered apes despite some of their characteristics are very close to us and lead us, in reverse over time, to seek our common ancestor and apes (gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, etc.).. The latter would be the high point of our evolutionary pyramid that dates back, presumably, about 10 million years ago. I used the conditional tense because so far not been found.
The Man of Altamura fall in the second sector before us as "wise men of learning" (!) even if it is not yet defined the precise position. After fifteen years after the discovery still does not know when was despite the considerable potential of today's scientific means. Very few have generally classified as Neanderthal, but not others even as preneanderthaliano erectus.
In any case, its importance is huge.
The reason is plain. We have seen that on the basis of present knowledge humanity has evolved along the line of three kinds of Homo: habilis, the erectus and sapiens. The latter two species belong to genus: Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis sapiens sapiens, that is us.
Well the current state of knowledge paleoanthropological there is a paradoxical situation: on the one hand we have a fairly defined or pithecanthropus of Australopithecus, lived millions of years ago, because of the large number of testimonies obtained (over a thousand) allows us to trace their family tree that is remarkably complex and varied, and secondly there is a sort of black hole in a much more recent period that ranges from 600,000 to less than 200,000 years ago because their human remains found there were very few and sparse clues .
were identified several "sites", in Italy, that is dwelling in which primitive men have left their mark at times very interesting, but very few of their bones and little information. In the final part of their existence remains uncertain and largely incomplete.
This long period is characterized by two major glaciations (the Mindel and Riss), the climate had changed significantly and is also the man who changed the beginning it was erectus and eventually, without knowing how, s' sapiens is found!
Seriously, do not know when, how and where Homo erectus extinct giving way to homo sapiens, which first was, as mentioned above, sapiens neanderthalensis and then sapiens sapiens. It 'also known also the birth date of the latter. It 's almost certain is that both have appeared in Africa.
why the Man of Altamura, which according to experts would be living in this uncertain period assumes a special importance.
This explains the big fuss when it was discovered that aroused. Thus one can understand why he rushed to the Altamura Piero Angela (his son Alberto is an anthropologist).
there's more!
Our distant predecessor died in the narrow tunnel in which it was found, his bones are covered with concretions that hide those under and it is argued to be complete: it is then the whole skeleton oldest ever found in the world!
His condition is exceptional: a professor speaking at the first conference on fossil Altamura had to say he had found the presence of very thin bone that normally in cadavers decompose after a decade. If you think that many men fossil skulls have been reconstructed by assembling hundreds of pieces you understand why many scientists have been amazed.
add after again that the abundant existing fauna in the cave gives us a fairly detailed environment and climate in which he lived.
In conclusion, our man and the cave that contains it look like an impressive field that has not yet started to "dig" and who has been abandoned for 15 years. Unfortunately, the only action taken only for touristic purposes with equipment emitting light and heat have caused serious and irreversible damage.
intend to field the large amount of scientific news that the modern media can be obtained and the potential cultural and tourism promotion that, if properly set up, organized and carried out as in the case paesi civili ed evoluti, sono ben superiori a quanto comunemente si crede e infinitamente più grandi di quanto è stato fatto.
Come dettagliatamente riferirò in seguito il nostro uomo “doveva” essere:
tutelato;
sottoposto a ricerca e studi per conoscerne i segreti;
opportunamente valorizzato culturalmente e turisticamente.
Ne parlerò nelle prossime puntate. Spiegherò e dimostrerò come gli interventi effettuati lo hanno irreversibilmente e tragicamente danneggiato, come scandalosamente over 15 years has not been done only serious scientific research and how the few cultural activities and tourism have taken a real grip on .... for a ride.
Superconcentrato delle attuali conoscenze sulle origini dell’Uomo
The Human Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, namely the study of human origins, is a science very recently mainly because of two "taboos" that have hindered in the past, even within the scientific community, the research and dissemination. Questioning the biblical account of Genesis, that is the story of Adam and Eve, and suppose that man derived from monkeys that could not cause a real culture shock.
It was an Apulian the first who "ventured" to publish his belief on the origin of man from monkeys and that is why we put on his skin. He was born in Tauranga in the province of Lecce in 1585 and was named Giulio Cesare Vanini. Medical and Monaco, in 1616 published a paper in which, inter alia, advancing the above argument: three years later, in Toulouse in France, was convicted of heresy and the cutting of the tongue at the stake.
Something begins to move towards the end of '700, the Enlightenment, and above 800. The study of the remains of extinct prehistoric animals and worked flints found mixed with them had already assumed the presence of men "antediluvian" molto antichi, finchè, nel 1856, fu trovata in Germania, insieme ad altre poche ossa, una stranissima calotta cranica umana.
Apparteneva ad un uomo molto diverso da noi che prese il nome del luogo in cui fu trovato, la valle (thal) di Neander, cioè di Neanderthal. Quasi contemporaneamente Darwin pubblicava le sue nuove teorie sull’evoluzione della specie. Nonostante le scontate reazioni negative che questi due fatti e altre successive scoperte provocheranno, era nata, sia pure in ambiente molto ristretto, la nuova scienza che indaga sulle nostre origini e che oggi con mezzi sofisticatissimi e attendibilissimi intravede le nostre radici fino a tempi “profondi” milioni di anni.
German The discovery showed a man with some more strong similarities with apes, but it was still a man!
need to find a true "pithecanthropus (Pitecusa: monkey - Antropos: humans) that is an ape-man that constitute the missing link joining ol'anello, whatever you want between us and other primates.
Science is like good food: it increases the appetite!
Towards the end of the 800 is an astonishing fact. A young Dutch physician, Eugene Dubois, impressed by the anatomical similarities between man and the gibbon, is convinced that these ancient specimens latter gave rise to human offspring. In 1887 he directed in Java because only island inhabited by gibbons and orangutans, and free offers helped dig some of his countrymen. Start early enough to find bones and teeth after four years very interesting and a cap that seems a chimp until it discovers the femur demonstrating its upright position.
He found just what I wanted and called "her" man Pithecanthropus erectus (erect ape man). In practice he had found what we call Homo Erectus although some scientists today still do not consider him a man. Today we know that the settlements of the gibbons have nothing to do with the presence of fossils of this type.
little more than forty years after the remains were found in China's famous Peking Man perfectly similar to those of Dubois and unfortunately went missing during the Second World War.
paleoanthropology finally had irrefutable documents on the origins of "bestial" man in the audience and yet still remained strong resistance primarily theological in nature.
again in 1925, in the "free" United States, a natural science teacher was sentenced to pay a fine of $ 100, which at that time was money, "for having taught in a criminal manner that man descended from a lower order of animals. "
In fact paleoanthropology will remain a field reserved for a few insiders and results will be known only by the public educated and attentive for most of the 900. A state of things at the bottom of almost understandable given that the 1960 men known primal you could count on the fingers of one hand and its fragments, the only scientific evidence on the evolution "natural" human, they were so "heavy" to be able to yes and no fill a couple of cartons.
In 1924, South Africa was also discovered the skull of a young "Australopithecus" which means southern ape. It was bipedal like us and had characteristics intermediate between apes and man. This is the first of a series of pre-human characteristics very different from each other all found in Africa and therefore all called Australopithecus.
Since 1911 a large African region began to attract the attention of paleontologists, that is, students of fossil animals: it is the famous Rift Valley, a large depression over three thousand kilometers long on the east side of the continent that invests' Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania until you get to Mozambique. Over the last twenty million years, this vast territory rich in volcanoes, di laghi e di paludi ha creato condizioni non solo ideali per lo sviluppo della vita ma anche particolarmente favorevoli per la fossilizzazione.
A cominciare dal 1930 i paleontologi Luois Leakey e Mary sua consorte, attirati dagli interessanti affioramenti risalenti a circa due milioni d’anni fa nella gola di Olduvai in Tanzania, si dedicarono ad una esplorazione approfondita della zona che portò nel 1959 alla scoperta di un pre-umano molto robusto da loro denominato Australopithecus Boisei.
Nel 1961 realizzano un’altra clamorosa scoperta: il cranio molto più evoluto del precedente, tanto da presumere la sua appartenenza ad una nuova specie umana, la più antica che si conosca. Eleven years later, another discovery of this species much more complete, this time in Kenya, confirms that the first humans lived about 1.8 million years ago and had a cranial capacity 50% higher than the australopithecines, so would suggest even the beginning of the use of the word. He also discovers that he worked in housing and then had reached a cultural level rather complex. It will be called Homo habilis.
The Rift Valley becomes "the Eldorado of paleontologists and paleoanthropologists. Since the early 60's are organized, especially by the Anglo-Saxons, with large shipments of deployment men and equipment and the results are gratifying: in addition to the aforementioned second homo habilis and many other important findings is discovered in Ethiopia in '74 the now famous Lucy, Australopithecus then the oldest dating back more than 3 million years ago (first name Australopithecus afarensis) and nel'78 Laetoli in Tanzania in a number of bipedal footprints on volcanic ash of extreme interest and the ripe old age of 3.5 million years.
He also expressed some Homo Erectus much older than those we have already experienced in Java and China, it seems almost certain that these, too, like all the others mentioned above have originated in Africa.
Along with the rich documentation of new bone, the Rift Valley has given us an equally interesting and abundant repertoire of tools made of polished stones that have allowed to discover a surprising fact: the first roughly worked stones date back to about 3 million years ago , then prior to the appearance of the first man occurred 500,000 years later!
This shows that some species of pithecanthropus, which we considered to be still monkeys had achieved a surprising level of social and cultural.
The abundance and diversity of the bone remains of Australopithecus found in the Rift Valley and most recently in South Africa resulted in a very complex evolutionary picture punctuated by various genealogical branches that were quickly extinguished.
Their standing could not allow such a speed as to escape the big predators of the savannah: it is assumed that they managed to keep them at bay by throwing stones and using sticks of course remain in compact groups. All animals are terrified of stone-throwing.
E 'already certain that more than a million years ago even the lions, who also live in packs, fearing hominids. Even today, just the mere presence of a child to ward off the lions of the Masai herds.
and Homo sapiens? Based on the evidence collected have existed, according to scholars, both appeared in two subspecies, for a change in Africa. The first in time, homo sapiens neanderthalensis already mentioned, arrived in Europe in a period dating from ill-defined, presumably, to about 200,000 years ago and is extinct for 35,000 years, and the other homo sapiens sapiens to which we belong, appears in the Middle East 100,000 years ago from, as stated above, from Africa, leaving his first tracks in Europe 70,000 years ago almost e. .. we are the only ones not to be closed or better not be "autoestinti yet."
undersigned ing. Michele Difonzo former president, a few decades ago, the center Searches Altamura speleologiche and co-discoverer of the Cathedral of the Assumption and the Man of Altamura, The state as follows.
the end of next September, the Man of Altamura, fossil discovered by the prestigious Altamura Center Research speleologiche, celebrating its 15th anniversary. 15 years since, buried for centuries at least 1000, was exhumed by recent explorers have remained, cavers. Great was the outcry then around the world that face dotted with drops of stone that seemed to want to talk about the many mysteries that still surround the distant planet of our origin. Grandissima fu l'attesa della comunità scientifica internazionale dei paleoantropologi scossa sopratutto da due peculiarità: -si tratta dello scheletro intero più antico mai trovato al mondo perchè la morte lo raggiunse nello stretto cunicolo in cui è stato rinvenuto, le sue ossa risultano poco rimosse e quindi si può ritenere quasi con certezza che quelle poche che mancano all'appello sono nascoste sotto le altre e alle concrezioni calcaree; -il prodigioso stato di conservazione in cui.... si trovava. Ben presto le ansiose attese degli scienziati di tutto il mondo furono deluse e tradite. Seguirono infatti quasi due anni di immobilità assoluta per il conflitto di competenze, cioè per il duro braccio di ferro sorto tra la Sovrintendenza archeologica della Puglia (Ministero dei Beni Culturali) e l'Università di Bari (Ministero Università e Ricerca Scientifica): la mano sinistra e la mano destra dello stesso corpo (lo Stato) si misero a contendere e a ostacolarsi a vicenda. Ben altri fatti ancora più incresciosi e che possono essere configurati reati dalla Magistratura avvennero in seguito. Mi sento purtroppo costretto, per i motivi che preciserò più avanti, al compito non facile di esporre con chiarezza e rigore uno stralcio dal groviglio di eventi e di vicende che riguardano un argomento tanto importante quanto delicato anche per gli eventuali risvolti penali. Il caso più importante è sicuramente costituito dalle assurde events the esoteric project "Sarastro. The long dispute between the two institutions of the state ended in August '95 with a difficult delivery macchinosissima Convention which established inter alia a "coordinating committee operations" that produced nothing and was operating chaired by prof. Fish anthropologist at the University of Bari After about a year and a half the University of Bari, in agreement with the consortium "digamma" which is also chaired by prof. Fish, submitted to the engineer of the Ministry of Scientific Research "MURST" nicknamed the qualified projects for the alleged innovative advanced technologies to be used for scientific investigations on our man. The evident purpose was to get a reasonable funding and expectations of work without tender. The response prepared by highly qualified technicians and was announced on 04/09/1997: "The project does not present the technical aspects are sufficiently advanced. Forecasts regarding the use of the results are not sufficiently documented and appear overly optimistic. " He then tried to do approved by the Coordination Committee operational luckily the operation failed due to unavailability and contrary to the opinion of the other two specific academic: Prof. Broglio and prof. Piperno. was enough to discourage anyone but there arose a strange synergy between influential politicians, bureaucrats and super professorone University: In September of that year the Fiera del Levante in the stand dedicated to the Man of Altamura the fateful "Sarastro" was resubmitted in full regalia. forecasts that paper consisted mainly of Man in front of placing a device can pick up the relic with infrared or stereoscopically with zoom lens or micro-macro, etc.. etc.. You could tell immediately that the project aimed mainly at promoting tourism and that it would serve little to scientific research. The images in fact had to be sent to the nearby visitors center with the aim of achieving a kind of "big brother" to see live and networks without our poor man who unfortunately is not laughing, not crying, not sleeping more, and even strips (more naked than this!). hard to imagine a more cultural and tourist promotion of this idiot. I soon realized that the establishment of this wretched idea would cause devastating and irreversible damage. I was already almost 40 years of caving experience and knew what was mild microclimate in natural caves and a lot more than it was in the blind tunnel is located in the precious relic. In view of the inestimable value of the find, the place where more than was called for legislation on environmental impact assessment was just that. Mi ritenni pertanto in dovere di pubblicare articoli esplicativi sui giornali locali e di intervenire alla presentazione ufficiale del progetto in questione nello stand dedicato all'Uomo fossile nella Fiera del Levante. Spiegai puntigliosamente gli effetti sconvolgenti delle luci e del calore che si andavano a introdurre in quel ristretto e inestimabile ambiente. Previdi la formazione e la proliferazione delle alghe che producono effetti catastrofici corrodendo in profondità le concrezioni ed eliminando definitivamente le loro lucentezza e trasparenza (noi speleologi chiamiamo fossili tale tipo di concrezioni perché il loro accrescimento è da ritenersi ormai concluso). Per confutare le mie asserzioni il prof. Pesce interpellò lo speleologo Superintendent of confidence, a certain D'Agostino, who asserted that the works of the project would not have brought any harm Sarastro (incidentally the same D'Agostino in 2006 presented a report on the devastating effects caused by the equipment remained in the cave) . There is a complete audio-video of my speech, about how I was publicly derided by prof. Fish and allegations of D'Agostino. I enclose the registration all'esposto. To carry out the plan still needed a formal approval and adequate funding. No problem! The municipality of Altamura is immediately made available a grant of two and a half billion and approval of the project after a favorable opinion of the Superintendent General Archaeological which had previously provided technical advice to disqualify the MURST through the simple reason that it considered its responsibility in this regard (the left hand said that what has been done by the right hand does not count!). And the tender required by law? Needless to speak, not as fools! The works were completed July 19, 2002. On 31 July (12 days later) went haywire and its cause was attributed to lightning. Since then, the equipment worked very small-gauge, in practice have been running only the lamps placed in front of the Man with the result of doing cover of algae. All electrical works and plant in question have never been controlled and so meno collaudate e ancora non si sa se sono conformi al progetto e se corrispondono quindi al prezzo pagato. Ormai tutte le apparecchiature dell'eclatante progetto sarastro sono ridotte ad un ammasso di ferraglia e il Sovrintendente ha già ingiunto al Comune di Altamura di rimuoverle. Mi auguro che prima della rimozione si verifichi almeno la loro conformità. A consuntivo dello sciagurato progetto si possono fare le seguenti considerazioni: − ricerca scientifica prodotta, che competeva sopratutto all'Università, = 0; − avanzata proliferazione di alghe con danni devastanti e irreversibili; − due miliardi e mezzo di lire (equivalenti oggi a tre milioni di euro se si tien conto della svalutazione effettiva) buttati al vento. Utilizzati per promozioni serie avrebbero procurato numerosi posti di lavoro; − mancata applicazione della legge sugli appalti che avrebbe fatto risparmiare almeno un buon milioncino e favorito di più la conformità delle opere a quelle previste in progetto; − mancata applicazione della legge sulla valutazione dell'impatto ambientale e mancato monitoraggio del microclima della grotta. Il motivo principale che mi spinge a inoltrare questo esposto è il seguente. I responsabili del disastro testè descritto conducono ancora le vicende dell'Uomo fossile e quindi tendono, per ovvie ragioni, a ignorare o minimizzare la sciagura delle alghe. Circola già la voce that plants deprived of light for a few months, have changed color and then are now dead. It 's the biggest nonsense that we can enunciate! Algae are one of the greatest miracles of nature. There are over three thousand million years, and thanks to them we have the oxygen we breathe. They have among other survival mechanisms impressive: they can survive decades in the dark and return in full their viability is not in a few days, but even a few hours after they have been restated to light. The damage caused to the precious artifact concretions can be compared to that produced by sandpaper passed on a car body. The paint, made by nature over of many thousands of years, is no longer recoverable. Intervene with chemicals to remove them is to risk serious damage to the sheet-metal body, that is the precious bones. We are planning more or less work on the sly just the ones I feared. I think we can make but only if they are designed and followed also by the academic figure dell'algologo and potholing. If 11 years ago, when the algae had not yet appeared, it had consulted and listened to one of four professors from me then reported, they would avoid all "ste" ruins. E 'and then with great determination that this time I am determined to prevent other similar and this is the main reason (not only) dell'esposto. followed by a more exposed to the European Court of Justice (and hopefully the European Commission) on another major scandal. 's what the non-scientific research. Failing in fifteen years (I am a life!) To make one serious investigation (for example, the fossil age of the ancestor) is a disgrace for a country that declares itself civil, is a slap in the world and is also a World Cultural inestimable damage to the cultural and tourist promotion. Since the first conference was told by eminent scientists that at least two thirds of the scientific news could be obtained without removing the specimen and non-invasive interventions or very minimally invasive. For Moreover many qualified international teams were prepared to execute them ... Free! Since one year after the discovery we could have had a lot of interesting news! was all blocked! There are people in high places who, undisturbed, is unable to produce anything and does not produce anything other pace of the collective good. I wonder: "How is it possible that, in a community where people, goods and ideas are perfectly free movement, it could raise its so absurd barriers in scientific research in which they do this crap?" Receive the highest damage was just our local community that basically he deserves it because he has wanted to move un dito per tentare di sbloccare la situazione nonostante le mie tante segnalazioni. La presente è un resoconto molto succinto dei numerosi episodi accaduti in tutti questi anni. Sono a Sua disposizione per tutti i ragguagli che sarò in grado di fornirLe. Altamura,16/7/08.

immediately arrives at Difonzo a letter bearing the seal of the Ministry! Reg.le by the Director of Cultural Heritage and Landscape Arch. Ruggero Martines message.
the answer here:
Reg.le The Director of Cultural Heritage and Landscape arch. Ruggero Martines road Dottula - isolated 49 70122 BAR1 Oggetto: Uomo di Altamura - risposta alla cortese sua n°6022 cl 34.34.01/2 del 15/7/08.
Le sono molto grato per il suo tempestivo riscontro allo schema dell'esposto da me brevi manu consegnatoLe lunedi 14 e subito dopo spedito alla Procura della Repubblica. Mi ha gradevolmente sorpreso perchè è la prima volta, da 15 anni a questa parte, che ricevo una risposta positiva e costruttiva ed è anche la prima volta che mi viene offerta la possibilità di comunicare e perfino di dialogare sui complessi problemi inerenti alla tutela, alla conoscenza e alla valorizzazione del preziosissimo reperto. In merito ho tre comunicazioni-richieste da farle: 1° Ci sia, at the preliminary stage of identification of interventions to be implemented, the necessary participation and environmentalist speleologist dell'algologo nell'esposto as I explained. After all, the presence, hitherto ignored, would also be a sign of caving in due recognition to the world of cavers to whom we owe the discovery. do not know his decree, and then I do not know if the experts will participate in question, as I hope, since the set of operations. 2 ° I understand with certainty that the leaders and the scientists in charge of the research were "encouraged" not to talk about the prof. Fish, the project Sarastro and algae. Further confirmation I had on occasion press conference on Monday: one time, perhaps by accident, was pronounced the word Sarastro. The law fascist 1089/39 gave excessive powers to the regional superintendents and, in addition some of them have expanded their power at will to the point of remembering the satraps of ancient memory and still continue undeterred despite the change of the law and of the times. And so it comes as to impose internationally renowned scientists to what should or should not say! E 'desire of some local cultural associations to organize public meetings with experts who are slowly Altamura for inspections and surveys. This is to finally give birth to consciousness and knowledge of our heritage paleontology and paleoanthropology. would be impossible to do with people who have been ordered to gag! 3 ° When towards the end of 2006 there was finally an awareness of the danger we algae of the Committee for Man and the steps we arranged for the 6 / 12 in a conference board room with two of Altamura Algology University Ancona who had faced the same problem for the caves of Frasassi. If it wished to consult them, calling prof. Jordan and Dr. Mario. Fred Lichtenberg. The superintendent of Taranto, reneging on a verbal promise, and in defiance of the law on the transparency of public acts, did not think to show any pictures of the state it was in the human fossil. He was so frustrated The opportunity to have some relevant information from the two qualified experts brought in specially from the Marche. The Committee, for illustrative elements, said in a letter dated 02/01/2007 that the Superintendent was granted to the undersigned to perform in the cave of fotoriprese Lamalunga. He was reminded of my contribution to the discovery, my speleoesperienza decades, my career as a wildlife photographer and the merit of having advocated the formation of algae. was answered in these terms: "You do not have pictures of Difonzo because we have our documentation." inform you, gent.mo Regional Director, who at the beginning of October '93 when I learned of the discovery, even before the cave was banned, I immediately take pictures at our men. To be fair give a copy to the Superintendent who used them extensively in its own use and that its material is also disseminated as newspapers across the world without any acknowledgment about who had provided them to him (see eg. National Geographic). A minimum of recognition I deserve! From bigot baciapile what I remember is a phrase of Saint Padre Pio: "Hitting the hand that has benefited is a great sin that cries out vengeance." Such arrogance can easily define excessive violence. And maybe I was just me to be impressed! The real trouble is that the behavior just described is was systematic, gave very little to the collective good and in fact has produced disasters such as algae, the non-scientific research and many other troubles that will list at the appropriate time. I hope you will grant me what is ultimately a right that I won on the field and that is the thrill of seeing up close and the distant ancestor of our resume with particular attention to algae. If you transpose this instance my promise to provide documentation from her mouth-watering ... that did not! How do you not ask for the moon but only the legality and how much should be obvious. The attach the DVD also sent to the Prosecutor with the movie filmed at the Fiera del Levante, the man in the stand Altamura, in September '97. That person will realize the merits of the exposure on that occasion and the insolence of negligence and nonsense with which it was presented and carried out the project Sarastro. The attach also my three short articles published in popularizing a few months ago a local paper ... just to let you know how I feel! I hope that when it finally organized some cultural associations a conference on the great ancestor of ours we have the honor of your participation. Altamura, 07/24/2008. Sincerely
this is the document with which the town of Altamura asked the press to review the new project to be undertaken for Fossil Man of Altamura. the conference did not talk at all sel past project (project "Sarastro"), perhaps he was appointed once the Pied Piper. (Sarastro was just the name of the famous fable of the Pied Piper ...) it 'has spoken of those who have given birth and continued ... nobody would have expected a man with a certain age on their shoulders and make common ground could eventually distribute a press conference that two sheets containing the complaint to the courts after a few days was shipped on time and without means terms no one wanted to describe what he was saying ...
PAINTING-THERAPEUTIC PRANIC Painting-pranic therapy is a strand of painting created by Soricelli more than 10 years ago that is to display the energy to produce beneficial effects on the mind and the body of the observer. In particular Soricelli tried to visualize the energy that unites all living things and translate it into colors on his canvases. The author wanted to experience "hands on" effects-pranic healing works with often surprising results. The National Museum of the Arts of naive Cesare Zavattini Luzzara bought some years ago a great work of art-therapy pranic and, just inside the museum, has been tested the effect of this painting. order to experience the therapeutic painting over the web Soricelli should do the following: first, we need absolute silence, then you have to zoom in on a painting-therapeutic-pranic you like, away at a distance until the computer screen viewing experience do not mind giving up their arms and sit comfortably. Finally relax for a few minutes without thinking about anything, we must imagine that from the point of the painting that attracts you trasemetta the energy of those colors. Going to hit the painful part, and the pain slowly go away. If it's stress, nervous tension or otherwise, must think that energy agisca beneficamente sulla psiche di chi guarda.
Diversi anni fa è stato ripetuto l'esperimento in collaborazione con la COOP ADRIATICA, in uno spazio creato appositamente, allestito con quadri dai colori pranici, presso il supermercato CENTROBORGO di Bologna. Quasi il 60% delle persone che accusavano dolori o stress e che hanno cercato di visualizzare l’energia dei quadri esposti, ha riscontrato dei miglioramenti notevoli.
Ma gli effetti di questo tipo di pittura sono talmente al di fuori della razionalità che anche chi ne ha beneficiato stenta a crederci. Probabilmente per alcuni osservatori interviene un effetto placebo, oppure la suggestione, ma è difficile che tutti i benefici siano dovuti solo a queste cose. Mi piacerebbe parlarne in this blog and hear different opinions. Carlo Soricelli
With this large painting of pranic 1.80 x1.30 m two years ago at the club Dozza Joseph Bologna, has been tried before an audience of more than 50 people, even if this time the painting pranic interacted with the observer, creating well-being. Again many people have benefited.
colors, images, sounds, space, time HAVE RECEIVED AN EFFECT OUR ENVIRONMENT IN MIND AND WE LIVE CUII. IF WE COULD BE DISCHARGED FROM THIS CONDITION DISCOVER THE MYSTERIES OF NATURE, infinite space and Eternity '. WITH PAINTING PRANIC I try to visualize the positive energy UNIVERSAL FOR A BENEFIT FOR THE OBSERVER OF PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY.
PRANIC WITH THIRTY PEOPLE SITTING AT THE MUSEUM ZAVATTINI THE EXPERIMENT AND 'WAS DONE TO VERIFY IF ANY BENEFICIAL EFFECT ON USE SORICELLI WHILE explains the features of the painting PRANIC
