my grandparents they'd say don't you want to find a proper job. but my parents were always very supportive and my father's a photographer so i helped him get more followers on instagram. so called today's start a man is not in it to get rich he's happy to pick and choose whom he wants to help . i get takes i'm not always presented with an ideal scenario sometimes they are faced with great ten inches but every problem has a solution as in the case of this family from. out in the south of germany they found a building plot for their new family home but in fact it was just a rather narrow passageway nevertheless they managed to come up with a rather clever solution as they explained in today's. the finke family had been looking for years for an affordable building site near stuttgart. and then just one turned up. the plot of land was really inexpensive because it was unusually narrow. it's left over from a larger piece of property. you know it's just not like you in the properties around here are quite expensive. but we found this site in a sling and. used to be a driveway here but it wasn't being used so we got a good deal. and that's how it all started. if you subtract the required minimum distance to the next lot the property measures four point seven zero eight. why fourteen readers long. i had to ask my husband you really think we can build a house here and he said i've got a plan and i said ok go for it the basic the law. for architect thomas fink this was an exercise in how to save space. we used the world's thinnest walls he's probably covered up panels such as six said to me just pick six in the middest i'll get. polycarbonates or thermal plastic polymers that are used in a wide variety of applications there durable and in some grades translucent i don't ask i'm talking during the first couple of days the sun was shining and the front of the building kept making these popping noises because the material kept expanding and contracting. and if yes it's kind of spooky at first but we got used to it pretty fast. to. think family home as a total floor space of one hundred forty seven square meters private rooms on four levels we kept construction costs low. to the essentials. that meant no expensive windows on the long side walls and no expensive interior construction just concrete and cement based flooring it looks like a work in progress but it's no use the polycarbonate to frame the surrounding countryside so the landscape is like a big old decoration and the scenery changes with the seasons. at the front of the house they have a nice view and in the back a small garden the color scheme is just white and grey except when they light up the polycarbonate panel. you know my husband likes it i don't use it a lot except when we have company. so on a narrow plot of land the finks manage to put a house that lights up their life. believe it or not fake news has been around for a very long time throughout history experts have repeatedly come across find which they believe to be a sensation until they were taught otherwise now an exhibition in the german town of hit is time is dedicated to some amazing fault lines and sometimes they are just as exciting as we treasure. it was in archaeological sensation in one thousand nine hundred sixty school diarra was offered to the louvre in paris it had supposedly just been discovered and was sent to date from the third century b.c. the museum paid to record some for the artifact at first it seemed like a good investment the singer tavernise drew large numbers of visitors about ad homs what i don't like then a couple of archaeologists said the way the depictions i ranged is a bit unusual but awards. the status quo and one day a man from a desk named israel rushkoff ski came and said excuse me but i made that it will destroy the past and they thought of he's crazy he's just a guy from the countryside some kind of craftsman seeking attention and they get the stuff. unfortunately for the louvre the goldsmith was able to prove his talents by reproducing part of the tiara. to art dealers had commissioned him to make the piece based on historical drawings the louver quickly removed the object from its display and was subjected to much derision today the tiara of so you're toughening this is regarded as the most famous fake in archaeological history. there were. museum in here this time is now devoted an exhibition. into stories like these. the show on errors and forgeries in archeology features more than two hundred exhibits their history is often amusing and whitening and now more relevant than ever official us that we cannot spot in the fog trees a clearly a very exciting topic fake used every day we deal with fake news or not fake news what is facts and what isn't and it's a topic which people in politics science but in culture as well have to deal with all the telling and that's the most. so it's hardly surprising that mistakes are made. like in eight hundred thirty eight when these metal pieces from an old bucket were mistaken for a priceless royal crown. and there was clearly some wishful thinking involved when bones allegedly belonging to the skeleton of the unicorn of peddling board were discovered in the hearts mountains in six hundred sixty three. using bones and tusks from mammoths researchers reconstructed the mystical creature in that they clearly wanted to believe in man had nothing at all about math they kept thinking about what it could look like because of course no one had ever seen one in the side. so they were different considerations that it looked like a host with a hole and all something else entirely that's you of us with what we see here is a replica based on bones that really have been found though they weren't from just one animal but from several and. even got played vinum bly planets including the drawing of the find in his standard work on paleontology the polymath fell victim to a hype that began in ancient times and peaked in the middle ages it continues to this day it seems that unicorns never go out of fashion. this isn't an archaeological error but it is the most famous forgery in post-war west german history they could learn diaries. in one nine hundred eighty three down magazine fell for these fakes. the weekly news magazine paid an art forger a huge nine million dollars marks for the diaries before going public with their seemingly sensational find and he doubts as to their authenticity were simply dismissed until the diaries were exposed as fakes. the diary of an exhibition comes from germany's federal archives just one of the sixty volumes forged has been loaned out the scandal surrounding the fake their diaries certainly made one thing clear if it seems too good to be true it probably is. even though new facts are produced every day you have to deal with them in a critical way you need to consider whether the great story of being told is actually a fact. though sometimes fakes are at least as interesting as originals as this exhibition in hindu sime clearly shows. well the saying goes to humans and with that we wrap up the show for today thanks for joining in and hopefully we'll see you again tomorrow and of course in the meantime you can follow us on social media until we meet again from me and they can try out your balance they can and i find out.
