ATHENS Authentic Michael Del Zotto Jersey , Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos praised Sino-Greek ties on Tuesday when he paid a visit to
an exhibition of ancient Chinese science and technology at Herakleidon museum
just opposite the Acropolis hill in Athens.


The exhibition "Ancient Chinese Science and Technology" is for the first time hosted in Greece as part of the Greece-China 2017 Year of Cultural Exchanges and
Cooperation in Creative Industries.


From Sept. 23 until April 29, 2018, visitors of Herakleidon museum can have the chance to appreciate 90 exhibits from the China Museum of Science and
Technology (CMST) in Beijing.


The Greek president toured the museum on Tuesday, and praised Chinese civilization's achievements in technology and science.


Speaking to Chinese Ambassador in Greece Zou Xiaoli and the museum's founder and president Paul Firos who welcomed him at the exhibition, he noted how
impressed the Westerners were when they discovered Chinese civilization
centuries ago.


"What one of the greatest Western philosophers at the time, Pascal said when China was discovered, is: I wonder who to believe Sam Gagner Jersey , Moses or China," he said, referring to a classic remark made by 17th century French scientist and thinker Blaise Pascal.


On his part, Zou said when the Chinese studied in the 17th century western mathematics and geography originating from Greece, they also acquired valuable
knowledge and furthered the development of science and technology.


The CMST exhibition hosted at the Athens museum covers disciplinary fields from mathematics, physics, chemistry and astronomy to agricultural
science Markus Granlund Jersey , medical science, pharmacy and engineering technology.


Through models visitors learn about pioneering Chinese inventions, such as the first seismograph (132 A.D.), ancient farming tools, the first wheelbarrow,
which was constructed a century, approximately Sven Baertschi Jersey , before the equivalent European one, and many others.


The Greek president showed in particular interest in the demonstrations of paper making, printing, stamping, as well as in silk weaving, Dimitris Pappas, a
Greek physicist who was his guide on Tuesday told Xinhua.


Pavlopoulos comes from Kalamata Alex Burmistrov Jersey , a city in southern Greece, which has a long tradition in silk production in Greece.


When he received a model of a 3rd century BC Chinese loom from ambassador Zou on behalf of CMST the Greek president said he was moved.


He recalled how as a child he was watching his mother making fabrics before referring to the great prospects of the new Silk Road.


Greeks and Chinese created two of the most ancient and great civilizations in the history of mankind and today are working closer than ever efficiently in
many sectors, the president noted.


"I wish and I hope that the great dynamic of Sino-Greek relations today will further continue and develop also in the field of culture. Exhibitions like
this, as well as the one which will follow in Beijing, are showing the way," he
stressed.


Under the agreement the two museums reached, from Nov. 1 to spring 2018 the CSTM will host the exhibition "EUREKA. Science Jacob Markstrom Jersey , Art and Technology of the Ancient Greeks," organized by the Museum Herakleidon in collaboration with the Association for
the Study of Ancient Greek Technology.


"We believe that thanks to this exhibition the ties between the two countries will get stronger," Firos said presenting the Greek president with a
commemorative plaque for his visit to the exhibition.


The Herakleidon Museum, a privately-funded and non-profit organization, has been bringing art, education, and culture to the Greek public since 2004. Based
on its philosophy of Science Brandon Sutter Jersey , Art and Mathematics, it provides educational programs for students, teachers and adults as well as exhibitions of art and
science.

WUHAN, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- Police caught six tomb raiders who learned fengshui and used it to locate and loot tombs in the central Chinese provinces
of Hubei and Hunan Derek Dorsett Jersey , authorities said Friday.

The "master tomb raider", identified only as Ye, was able to look at a site and determine the best place to dig by applying fengshui, a traditional Chinese
study of geomantic omens used to find auspicious locations for buildings and
cemeteries.


Ye, 44, was once sentenced to 10 years in prison for theft and robbery. He learned knowledge of fengshui in prison, where one of the inmates told him
raiding tombs was profitable.


After he was released from prison he purchased tools online Brendan Leipsic Jersey , such as a Luoyang shovel, and organized a tomb-raiding group.


The police investigation started in May when they received information that people had raided a Chu State tomb from China's Warring States Period (475 to
221 B.C.).


The police then targeted a six-man raiding group. By September, the suspects were caught by police.


According to Wuhan police, they seized and retrieved six cultural relics, including a bronze mirror with a diameter of 50 centimeters, the largest mirror
ever unearthed in the city.


The police said that the tomb raiders had looted three tombs in Hubei, but did not disclose how many tombs they had raided in neighboring Hunan Christopher Tanev Jersey , with the investigation ongoing.

Chinese tomb raiders can make good money, as wealthy people in China used to be buried with treasure such as gold, silverware and jade in the hope of
enjoying an affluent afterlife.
