September 16 is Independence Day in Mexico, and visitors here in Mexico City can expect fireworks, fiestas, and décor in the colors of the Mexican flag—red, white, and green. In Mexico City, Independence Day festivities begin with a reenactment of the ‘Grito de Dolores’ (Cry of Dolores), an event in 1810 when priest Miguel Hidalgo rang the bell of his church and called for a revolt from Spain. Each year, on the eve of Independence Day, Mexico’s president rings the same bell that Hidalgo rang and delivers a patriotic speech at the National Palace.

Poesía prehispánica: Flor y canto En el desarrollo de las grandes civilizaciones prehispánicas la poesía fue parte importante en la historia de estos pueblos antes de la llegada de los españoles; sin embargo, la gran mayoría de las obras se transmitían por tradición oral y por ello se ha dificultado la recopilación de estas maravillosas piezas, así como la gran riqueza de su contenido. No obstante, es importante mencionar que no todas ellas se han perdido; ya que, gracias a la investigación de especialistas, se han rescatado bellas obras de varios poetas de diversas civilizaciones; de hecho, esta literatura se empezó a conocer a partir del descubrimiento y estudio de los códices y las inscripciones en los monumentos históricos. Ahora bien, estas asombrosas piezas prehispánicas en su mayoría reflejan los temas de la religión y la astronomía, así como las historias y el mito dinástico, por ello el redescubrimiento de ellas es importante, ya que al mismo tiempo es un acercamiento a nuestras propias raíces; de manera que, en esta ocasión, se presenta una bella edición única en la cual se han compilado obras poéticas de grandes civilizaciones prehispánicas.

Monumento Y Museo De La Revolución: Overview

March 17 2023

This was the Big Thing I really wanted to see in Mexico City.

People who know me know that I, if prompted at all, will not shut the fuck up about history. Because of that, I’m going to try to do this in some phases that follow the monument we visited on March 17:

The Porfiriato: dictatorship of Dias

Maduro: fake friends

The Constitutionalists: no fuck YOU dad

Carranza and Cárdenas: everyone was tired

The monument: why it is both sad and hilarious

SPECIAL FEATURE: they had a temporary exhibit about anarchists/socialists

For those that want an absolutely stellar in-depth history of the thing, go listen to Mike Duncan’s podcast Revolutions.

So here we go

Pyongyang is the capital and most populous city of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, more commonly known as North Korea. It is located on the Taedong River, 110 km upstream from where the river joins the West Korean Sea. The city was separated from the city of South Pyongan in 1946. It has been a city directly governed by its own administrative unit, just like the city of Seoul in South Korea... The name of the city means 'flat land' in Korean. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7MGz0xGrZI[/embed] As the capital of North Korea, which is governed by a totalitarian regime, the dominant ideology of the country is reflected in the entire architectural structure of the city. The city, where tasteless concrete buildings rise, actually shows these features as it was rebuilt after it was completely destroyed in the Korean War. You can visit this city, which is extremely mysterious but very difficult to access as the administration wants to control the flow of information about the country, through private tour companies authorized by the state, as in all North Korea. They are not even allowed to communicate with the public. However, during the small city tours, which have been designed to every detail and decorated to give the impression that you are in a magnificent land of abundance, you can catch a small moment and find the real information about the daily life of the stoic people living in this city. You can see the locals picnicking, listening to music and lazing around on a walk up Moran Hill. Where Is Pyongyang? It is located on the Taedong River, 110 km upstream from where the river joins the West Korean Sea. When To Go To Pyongyang? Pyongyang, which has a humid continental climate, is dominated by cold and dry winds over Siberia in winter. This causes the season to be harsh. Especially between November and March, the air temperatures are below 0 degrees. Summer months are hot and humid. From June to August, the temperature is between 21-25 degrees. Best Places To Visit In Pyongyang The biggest challenge you will experience while visiting the city is the great effort your tour guide will make to show you and appreciate the statues, buildings, buildings, parks, etc. Triumphal Arch The Triumphal Arch was erected to commemorate the Japanese Resistance that took place between 1925-45. It is the second largest triumphal arch in the world after the Monumento a la Revolución in Mexico, 60 meters high and 50 meters wide. In 1982, the arch was erected in Return of Victory Square at the foot of Moran Hill, with the aim of emphasizing and glorifying the role of president and general Kim Il-Sung in the Korean resistance. The 25,000 finely crafted white granite stones used in the construction of the monument, which was unveiled in honor of his 70th birthday, represent a day in Kim Il-sung's life up to that time. Modeled on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the arch is 10 meters higher than its predecessor. There are four vaulted entrances to the building, on which there are numerous stairs, chambers, elevators and observation platforms. Each of these is 27 meters high. The words of the lament named Song of General Kim Il-sung are written on the arch. The song tells the story of the general who liberated Korea from Japanese rule in 1925 and made it independent. This tower, which exalts Juche, the administrative ideology of North Korea and formulated by the first leader of the state, Kim Il-sung, was completed in 1982. It is located on the east bank of the Taedong River. To the west of the river is Kim Il-sung Square. The 170-meter-high structure was unveiled in honor of Kim Il-sung's 70th birthday, just like the Arc de Triomphe, and the 25,000 finely worked white granite stones used in its construction represent a day in Kim Il-sung's life up to that time. . The tower can be reached by elevator and a panoramic view of the entire city is visible from the observation platform at the top. On the ground

floor of the tower, a video show explaining the importance and principles of the Juche ideology is shown at certain times. The tower is thought to be modeled after the Washington Monument. However, it is about a meter longer than its counterpart. Juche Tower is the second largest monumental column on earth. The largest monumental column in the world is the San Jacinto Monument and is about 3 meters higher than the Juche Tower. One of the walls of the tower is decorated with 82 friendship plaques, which were gifted by the Juche Working Groups and foreign supporters of the regime. Kim Il-sung Square Kim Il-sung Square is a large city square named after the founding leader of the state. The square, which was designed according to the masterplan of the restructuring process that took place in 1954 after the destruction of the city after the Korean War, was opened in 1964. Located at the foot of Nmsan Hill, the square is on the west bank of the Taedong River. It overlooks the Juche Tower just across the river. It is the 37th largest square in the world. It covers an area of approximately 75,000 square meters. It is an area suitable for gathering 100 thousand people at once. The square has great cultural significance. It is the traditional gathering point used for performances, dances and military parades. The image of this square is used in all news about the country. The square is reminiscent of Tiananmen Square in Beijing in form and design. Since its establishment and opening, it has been celebrated with many different events; Numerous military demonstration marches were organized. In the architectural design of the square, it was aimed and succeeded to create an optical illusion that shows the Juche Tower, which is separated from it by a river but stands directly opposite, as if it were at the other end of the square rather than on the opposite side. Great Mansudae Monument Mansudae Monument located on Mansu Hill is a complex of monuments. At the center of the complex are two 22 meter high statues. These statues belonging to the heads of state Kim Il-sung v Kim Jong-il are made of bronze. Behind the statues is the Korean Revolution Museum building. Paektu Mountain, the sacred mountain where the revolution took place, is depicted in a mosaic on the front of the museum. As you pass by the statues and move away from the museum building, two different monuments are seen. These depict workers, soldiers, farmers, the Anti-Japanese Revolution and the Socialist Revolution. These monuments are 22.5 meters high and 50 meters long. Monuments began to be built in 1972. At first, a statue depicting the country's founding leader, Kim Il-sung, was erected. The statue, which was covered with gold leaf when it was first erected, was later turned into bronze. After the death of the leader and his son succeeded him, a statue of his son Kim Jong-il was also erected. Visitors who want to take pictures are obliged to take the two statues together and in their entirety. Other Must See Places In Pyongyang Zoo Film Studios Tan'gun Tomb Korean Revolution Museum Transportation In Pyongyang It is forbidden for tourists to travel alone in North Korea, except for the tour routes given to them and the journey carried out under the supervision of guides.

Trains, albeit old, operate effectively. There are taxis, but Koreans are very reluctant to take foreigners. Pyongyang Cuisine There are restaurants in North Korea where you can find options from world cuisine.

Shopping In Pyongyang In North Korea, postcards with the purpose of state propaganda are sold in souvenir shops. Do not ignore the possibility that these postcards, which have visual details resembling the propaganda tools of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, will become rare documents about the past in the future. You can also get stamps produced in the same style. The local drink, Insam Liqueur made from rice, can also be an original gift you can bring to your loved ones. However, the price is quite expensive. Pyongyang Nightlife Nightlife in North Korea is not very developed. A small number of bars and clubs are inside the hotels.
