Historians and archeologist write in a similar manner to a screenplay writers narrative. We will devote ourselves to the rise and changes in those stories (primarily European) from romantic ideas and myths through nationalistic (and counterfeit) attempts to todays interpretation (archeology and historical areas, everyday life, etc) and disinterpretation at the head with representatives of so called „masiblu“ (short for idiots, crazy people or morons), which often tell the most notable stories. The axis of each lecture will be a significant story from the past with varied visual documentation of its making.
