A portrait of Giovanni Marro (1875-1952). out in a letter to the National Committee for the Protection of Monuments the presence of two engraved boulders at Pian delle Greppe near Cemmo (Capo di Ponte, Brescia, Italy). In 1912 Laeng wrote a short note about the existence of these two monuments as part of his description of Cemmo to be published in the first edition of theGuida d’Italia: Pie- monte, Lombardia, Canton Ticino in 1914, edited by Luigi Vittorio Bertarelli on behalf of the Touring Club Italiano. Laeng says that these stones bear engravings “similar to the famous ones of Lac de Marveilles in the Mari- time Alps” (p. 595), but the discovery does not seem to have been of particular interest among Italian scholars. During the ‘20s the engravings are mentioned only by Giuseppe Bonafini, an archaeologist and teacher from Cividate Camuno2, and Senofonte Squinabol, a geologist from the University of Turin who was related to the influential Murachelli family of Cemmo. Realizing the potential antiquity of the carved figures at Pian delle Greppe, in 1929 Squinabol brought the anthropologist Gio- vanni Marro (Fig. 1), a friend and colleague 36 Fig. 2.

His “topographical” interpretation of the latter, following the classic explana- tion of similar pictures in Mount Bego rock art made by scholars like Clarence Bicknell, Piero Barocelli or Federico Sacco, will be strictly followed by Anati and subsequent researchers and it is still the preferred ap- proach nowadays (Turconi 1997).

Ordensjournal / Ausgabe 21 / März 2011 2 Während des Aktenstudiums im Geheimen Staatsarchiv Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, blickte ich zunächst ungläubig auf einige Zeilen, in der Seine Majestät der Kaiser zu bestimmen geruht hatte, wann das Gorgoabzeichen anzulegen wäre. Nun beschäftige ich mich schon seit über 30 Jahren mit deutschen, aber insbesondere auch preußischen Orden, Ehrenzeichen und Abzeichen, aber die Existenz eines Gorgoabzeichens war mir bisher verborgen geblieben. In keiner mir bis dahin bekannten Literatur, die sich mit Themen der Phaleristik beschäftigt, ist dieses Abzeichen je erwähnt worden. Auch die Nachfragen bei anderen, fachkundigen Personen auf dem Gebiet der Orden & Ehrenzeichen brachten keinerlei Erkenntnisse. Da die oben genannte Bestimmung jedoch authentisch war, musste das Abzeichen existiert haben. Deshalb war ich mir sicher, dass es möglich sein musste, mehr über das Abzeichen in Erfahrung zu bringen. Ausgehend von der Bestimmung, wann das Abzeichen angelegt werden sollte, konnten weitere Dokumente gefunden werden, in der auch die Verleihung des Abzeichens dokumentiert wurde. Durch weitere Recherchen von Namen, die ich in den Akten finden konnte, stieß ich auf das Frobenius Institut 1 in Frankfurt am Main.

The story of Moses and the Exodus from Egypt told in the first fifteen chapters of the Book of Exodus is magnificent as literary art and inspiring as a scripture of faith. It is the founding event of a great religion, and has been a symbol of salvation and freedom ever since. But is it history? This question has exercised the best scholarly minds for more than a centwy, but has still to be conclusively answered. Given the state of our evidence greater certitude may forever elude us. For outside of the Bible no clear references have been discovered. The Egyptian sources are silent as the tomb, and Near Eastern documents say nothing. None­ theless, the more we learn about ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern history the more realis­ tic and authentic in its general features the story appears. Much of what we know about the second millennium BCE and the New Kingdom pro­ vides a plausible and ordinary context for the extraordinary and miraculous events of the Exodus. The problem with this plausibility is that it comes from other periods as well, from the Middle Kingdom to the Saite-Persian era, as has been asserted by Donald Redford.

Dopo il silenzio dovuto alla Seconda Guer- ra Mondiale, le ricerche ripresero negli anni ‘50, grazie allo svizzero Hercli Bertogg (diret- tore del Museo di Coira: BERTOGG 1952, 1955, 1956, 1967), ed a studiosi locali quali Gualtie- ro Laeng ed Emanuele Süss (si veda la Biblio- grafia), che lavoravano per il Museo di Scienze Naturali di Brescia. Al Süss si deve la realizzazione della prima carta di distribuzione delle rocce incise della zona di Naquane (SÜSS 1956 a, b), premessa Fig.

  • Instrumentalising the Past: the Germanic Myth in National Socialist Context
    RJHI 1 (1) 2014 Instrumentalising the Past: The Germanic Myth in National Socialist Context Irina-Maria Manea * Abstract : In the search for an explanatory model for the present or even more, for a fundament for national identity, many old traditions were rediscovered and reutilized according to contemporary desires. In the case of Germany, a forever politically fragmented space, justifying unity was all the more important, especially beginning with the 19 th century when it had a real chance to establish itself as a state. Then, beyond nationalism and romanticism, at the dawn of the Third Reich, the myth of a unified, powerful, pure people with a tradition dating since time immemorial became almost a rule in an ideology that attempted to go back to the past and select those elements which could have ensured a historical basis for the regime. In this study, we will attempt to focus on two important aspects of this type of instrumentalisation. The focus of the discussion is mainly Tacitus’ Germania, a work which has been forever invoked in all sorts of contexts as a means to discover the ancient Germans and create a link to the modern ones, but in the same time the main beliefs in the realm of history and archaeology are underlined, so as to catch a better glimpse of how the regime has been instrumentalising and overinterpreting highly controversial facts. Keywords : Tacitus, Germania, myth, National Socialism, Germany, Kossinna, cultural-historical archaeology, ideology, totalitarianism, falsifying history During the twentieth century, Tacitus’ famous work Germania was massively instrumentalised by the Nazi regime, in order to strengthen nationalism and help Germany gain an aura of eternal glory.
