An alarm clock you won't find at Walmart - The Prague Orloj Astronomical Clock 600th Anniversary Show in Prague

The Prague Orloj astronomical clock was constructed in 1410. It features animated statues, a calendar and a zodiacal ring with moving Sun and Moon.

A famous legend about the clock concerns master clockmaker Hanus himself. It is said that the Old Town Councilors had his eyes burnt out with a hot poker, so that he would not be able to build another such instrument elsewhere, which could overshadow the beauty and the fame of the Prague Clock. Master Hanus then allegedly asked his apprentice to take him to the clock, which he deliberately damaged so seriously, that nobody could repair it. Those who tried either died in doing so, or have gone mad. In reality, the Clock was not very reliable and often did not work, in spite of extensive repairs. A further legend gives the Skeleton magical power of foretelling the future and says that if the clock is left damaged for a long time, hard times will result for the Czech nation.

This video mapping show was recently produced to celebrate its 600th anniversary. Although the show is extremely surreal in nature many of it's elements seem to sketch out the 600 years of history it has survived.

Somebody aught to forward this to Freeman, there's got to be a masonic stargate ritual in there somewhere.

Since when did something need to be relevant to be posted on 12160, especially lately. Besides it's just too cool not to post. Just be satisfied that this off topic post isn't theofascist, racist, or generally derogatory as is normally the case with off topic posts.

That's really impressive.
This has to do with 12.160 in WHAT way?
Shouldn't this be on PMSNBC, or something?

Just wondering, what does THIS have to do with 'DESTROYING THE NEW WORLD ORDER'?
It 'is' interesting, in a colloquial sort of way...

"Destroying the New World Order"
