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?
