Da Politikens Camilla Stockmann i 2006 gik hen over Rådhuspladsen, drejede ned ad H.C. Andersens Boulevard og gik ind ad døren til Glyptoteket – for at se, om der mon var hold i et tip, hun havde fået fra Rom – havde hun ingen ide om, at hun var i gang med at tage de første skridt i en historie, hun nu har arbejdet med on-off i tyve år. Det er historien om, hvordan nogle af Vestens fineste museer har smykket sig med tyvekoster. Stjålne, uvurderlige genstande, der i nogle tilfælde er gravet ud af fyrstegrave med gravkøer eller skåret ned med motorsav i Pompeii. Opbevaret i kasser og avispapir på hemmelige lagre. Og solgt til museer som Glyptoteket via lyssky bagmænd i et internationalt smuglernetværk. En af bagmændene har siden 2018 været genstand for en arkæologisk efterforskning i Aarhus. Hans navn er Robin Symes, og han fik to års fængsel i 2005 ved en britisk domstol, og siden er tusindvis af illegale antikke genstande dukkede op på hans hemmelige lagre. I dagens afsnit af 'Du lytter til Politiken' fortæller Camilla Stokmann, hvordan Symes' forbrydelser endte med at blive trevlet op.

Weird Darkness is narrated by professional full-time voice actor Darren Marlar. No A.I. voices are ever used in the show. IN THIS EPISODE: When UFO researcher and investigator, Richard Hall, first received reports of a UFO sighting from the Symes family in the United Kingdom in 2011, he perhaps didn't expect that the encounters they would reveal would stretch back to the mid-1970s. Whether the Symes family are just simply in the right place at the right time or whether their location plays a part in these multiple sightings remains open to debate. Although there isn't any evidence for it, perhaps the Symes have been targeted by the alleged extraterrestrial occupants of these seemingly alien vehicles. What is interesting, though, is that there are many sightings of these shiny or glowing spherical UFOs on record, both in the United Kingdom and around the world. And what's more, many of them share remarkably similar details in terms of their description and how they act.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Many Extraterrestrial Experiences of the Symes Family” by Marcus Lowth for UFO Insight: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p878rbhWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

A chemistry graduate turned venture capitalist who transitioned to leading a pioneering carbon capture utilization company, Symes discusses OXCCU's groundbreaking catalyst technology that simplifies the conversion of CO2 and hydrogen directly into hydrocarbons.The conversation explores OXCCU's recent milestone: their OX1 demonstration plant, which marks a crucial step in de-risking their innovative single-step conversion process. Symes details how their technology could significantly reduce the CAPEX and OPEX of e-fuel production, potentially solving the cost barrier that currently limits power-to-liquids scaling.Industry experts will appreciate the technical discussion on reactor specifications, catalyst performance at scale, and the strategic approach to future developments, including the planned OX2 facility.

On episode 205, we welcome Jack Symes to discuss the possible existence of god, the strongest arguments for it, whether Pascal's Wager justifies belief in god, the different religions and whether they make belief in god irrational, god necessarily existing and being all good, how evil can stem good, whether evil even exists, the simple god hypothesis, if atheism is epistemically justifiable, the debate between Richard Swinburne and Richard Dawkins, Jack's philosophical development, and whether moral relativism negates the possibility of god's existence.

US returns to Greece 30 ancient artifacts worth $3.7 million, including marble statues

The United States returned to Greece 30 ancient artifacts, including marble statues, armor helmets, and breastplates, found to have been illicitly removed from the country, authorities said. The pieces handed over to Greek officials in New York date back from as long as 4,700 years ago to the Middle Ages. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said the “exquisite” works were collectively valued at $3.7 million (3.39 million euros). Nineteen of the artifacts were voluntarily surrendered by New York gallery owner Michael Ward, the DA's office said in a statement. Three others were seized from British art dealer Robin Symes, the statement said, while one was seized from a storage unit belonging to an unspecified New York-based private collector. “This is an exquisite set of 30 antiquities that represents the extraordinary depth and beauty of Greece's cultural heritage,” Bragg said. The works include a Roman-era headless marble statue of Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love. Bragg's office said it was recovered from a storage unit that belonged to Symes, where it had been hidden since at least 1999. There were also seven bronze helmets dating from the 6th century B.C. to the 3rd century B.C., two bronze and two iron breastplates for soldiers, a medieval silver platter, a marble Cycladic figurine dating to 2,700-2,300 B.C. and Mycenaean and Minoan Cretan pottery. Greek Culture Minister Lina Mendoni praised in a statement the “strong cooperation and hard work” by U.S. and Greek experts that led to the antiquities' return. The return follows two similar operations last year, involving 29 antiquities, and in 2022, when 55 works were returned from New York. Greece has for decades been targeted by criminal networks engaged in the trafficking of illegally excavated antiquities that command high prices worldwide. By law, all ancient artifacts found in the country are state property. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Whether the Symes family are just simply in the right place at the right time or whether their location plays a part in these multiple sightings remains open to debate. Although there isn't any evidence for it, perhaps the Symes have been targeted by the alleged extraterrestrial occupants of these seemingly alien vehicles. What is interesting, though, is that there are many sightings of these shiny or glowing spherical UFOs on record, both in the United Kingdom and around the world. And what's more, many of them share remarkably similar details in terms of their description and how they act.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Many Extraterrestrial Experiences of the Symes Family” by Marcus Lowth for UFO Insight:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p878rbhVisit our Sponsors & Friends: https://weirddarkness.com/sponsors Join the Weird Darkness Syndicate: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate Advertise in the Weird Darkness podcast or syndicated radio show: https://weirddarkness.com/advertise= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.

Listeners will love adventuring with Callie, a nonbinary twelve-year-old determined to become a knight. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Emily Connelly discuss Esme Symes-Smith's audiobook narrated by Dani Martineck with emotion and great energy. Callie lives in a realm with very strict boundaries between genders—only girls study magic, and boys stick to swordplay. Callie forges their own path ahead, with a pinch of magic and a great deal of determination—but a lot stands in their way.

Young listeners will love hearing this fantasy story where Callie and their new friends triumph, helping make the path ahead better for all.
