00:00Welcome to Median TV and we are heading to Syria to talk about the reopening of Damascus National Museum.
00:16Preserved from any act of plunder, it welcomed its first visitors at the beginning of January.
00:22On the 7th of December, and close to the group Hayat Tehrir Hashem in the capital,
00:28the Museum of Antiquities, which is one of the most important museum institutions in the country,
00:33had closed its doors as a precaution against the instability of the situation.
00:39Moreover, from 2012 to 2018, the Museum of Damascus had closed and transferred some of its precious pieces to safer places.
00:48We are listening to Shahanda Al-Baroudi, she is a student in Archaeology,
00:52and Eyad Ghanim, he is a militant for the preservation of the Syrian heritage.
00:56We began to worry when the authorities removed parts of the history textbooks,
01:03such as the history of divinity statues.
01:06We feared that they would erase everything, including our field, archaeology, which we thought would disappear.
01:13However, they clarified later that they would make some changes, but that they would not erase the history, which reassured us.
01:25We also sent a message to the new authority to ask it to involve students in archaeology in the protection of antiquities,
01:33to revive their role, and to include them in the marketing and management proposals of the Syrian museums.
01:43And until this reopening, the fear of seeing Syrian jewels and millennia of history disappear again was omnipresent.
01:52The traumatic memory of 2015 remains anchored in the memories.
01:56Daesh had also destroyed the ancient city of Palmyra, located 200 km northeast of Damascus, and classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
02:05Founded in 1919 to house the National Archaeological Collections, the institution houses more than 100,000 objects,
02:12ranging from prehistoric tools to Greco-Roman sculptures, including Islamic art.
02:18Some pieces, in more than 10,000 years, the preservation of this rich heritage feeds the deep hope of the Syrians.
02:25We listen to Mohamed Nair Awad, he is the Director of Antiquities in Syria.
02:30There has been no violation of the museum, especially since we contacted the authority in charge of military operations from the north,
02:40which sent us a group of fighters to protect the National Museum of Damascus.
02:47And finally, the Bolero by Maurice Ravel, which entered the American public domain eight years after being triumphantly released in France.
02:58The masterpiece of the composer and conductor of the Tricolor Orchestra,
03:02which at the time was the object of fierce legal and other lobbying of its rightful owners,
03:07before finally being played in public or recorded by anyone today, without the risk of counterfeiting.
03:14Almost a century after its composition, the piece continues to inspire artists, musicians and choreographers.
03:21Ravel's Bolero is one of the most famous classical works in the world.
03:25Created in 1928, it no longer has its role in dance, cinema or its cover, whether it is afro, reggae or jazz.
03:32Today, it is said that a public interpretation of the Bolero begins somewhere in the world every 10 minutes.
03:39And we also take the opportunity to listen to this excerpt.
