Miracle Temple of Greece 'Hovering in the air'

Miracle Temple of Greece 'Hovering in the air'

Remote location often chosen as the location of a shrine. The sacredness of the building, powered by a quiet and natural surroundings, making worship more and more solemn.

One of them is the Orthodox Temple in the Pindus Mountains, Greece. Blanketed much of the lush green trees, the shrine occupies a towering rocks hundreds of meters high. This is more like a stone pillar of the Giants were about to touch the clouds.

The monastery is named ' Meteora ', which literally means ' Hovering in the air ', the temple was occupied as early as the eleventh century. They protect themselves from Turkey when it attacks, continued to climb way up at the top of the rock.

First, to build it, the monks fought hard take materials materials use basket. They climb the stairs, heading to the top of the rock.

The monks continue to build up to 20 created the Church, but the church now left 6 remaining. Five churches targeted for men, while the rest is for the ladies.

The rapid changes experienced over the rocks rising time. Stairs remain enshrined, but the street cars were built to facilitate the travelers. Of course the vehicle could not be perched up top, visitors must walk if they want to keep reaching for the Meteora.

No matter how to dress to look at this sacred place. Women must wear skirts below the knee, men have to wear a long sleeve shirt and long pants.

A view of the Temple of course amazing. A rock that stands firmly on the opposite side. In addition, the Abbey filled with antiques such as ancient paintings and works of ancient manuscripts.

The legend of the Band Indonesia who Admired The Beatles

If asked who is the role model of rock guitarists, most people will take the name of Jimi Hendrix. The public is not possible not to admire his game in 1967. In fact, 11 years before that, a Moluccan youth already using teeth and feet to play the guitar. What?? Yes. He was Andy Tielman, frontman of the Tielman Brothers.

Tielman Brothers is a band native to Indonesia. They are born with The name Timor Rhythm Brothers in 1945. The name was later changed to The Four Tielman Brothers in 1957 with the formation of four brothers: Andy Tielman (lead guitar, vocals), Reggy Tielman (2nd lead guitar, vocals), Ponthon Tielman (double bass, vocals), Loulou Tielman (drums, vocals). Tielman Brothers finally made their name in 1960.



The band's career started in Surabaya, when 5 Tielman brothers started playing the songs and showing traditional dances. Their show continues, until eventually they become The Rhythm Timor Brothers and toured throughout the camp, soldiers of the Netherlands. In 1949 they played in Jakarta, but not for the Netherlands, but for the people of Indonesia. Unfortunately, they had to move to the Netherlands in 1957. The move was made because of Herman Tielman, father and Manager of the Tielman brothers, argued that the future of her children is more assured in the land of windmills. In fact, they are offered the opportunity to tour all over Indonesia, subject to change their citizenship of the Netherlands to Indonesia.




By bringing tropical culture and love of the guitar, they are characterized by the dominance of Indorock bore guitars mixed with Hawaiian music, country, and Rock n Roll. Stage where they play is always filled with spectacular action in its time: style of guitar playing with a twisting, Heavy Metal style 80′s action, wild-style Punk gig, playing drums while either Lars Ulrich of Metallica, and bass under ala Korn. Long before Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore or popularized the attraction of playing guitar with his teeth, behind the head or behind the body, Andy Tielman has introduced legendary stunt action since 1957 with Tielman Brothers. Andy's dedication and innovation for the development of a highly influential pop culture of the Netherlands took the title The Godfather of Dutch Rock and Roll, The & Uncrowned King of Indorock, and awarded the Order of the House of Orange-Nassau to his lap.




One sad thing from them is the fact that the Tielman Brothers is still a name that foreigners in their own land. I personally know them not long ago. Now the figure is left of them is Andy Tielman and Reggy Tielman. Three of their beloved brother, Ponthon and Loulou Tielman, Jane had died peacefully earlier. Jane died in 1993 and Loulou followed a year later in Australia. Ponthon himself died in Jember, East Java in 2000.

Can not be denied that the Tielman Brothers is a big phenomenon. With all my heart, I lift the CAP and bowed to The Tielman Brothers. Four Thumbs Up! Keep Up The Rockin Spirit!
