00:13 This painting "Old Fisherman" was painted in 1902.
00:19 But its secret became known only a hundred years later.
00:24 Researchers made a sensational discovery.
00:30 The canvas is a message, encrypted in a special way.
00:37 If you attach a mirror to the portrait at a certain angle,
00:42 and instead of the old fisherman we will see the devil himself.
00:49 And behind him is not a mountain peak, but a real volcano.
00:57 After finishing this painting,
01:00 the Hungarian artist Tivadar Čontvári Kostka lost his mind.
01:06 However, it was this portrait that brought the world famous painter to fame.
01:16 And this is the well-known painting of Leonardo da Vinci "Madonna in the Grotto".
01:24 Researchers see not only a biblical plot, but also a devilish subtext.
01:31 Look carefully.
01:33 With the help of a mirror you can see another figure,
01:37 which the genius artist encrypted on his canvas.
01:42 Imagine how many people watch this painting every day,
01:47 without knowing who is actually looking at them from the canvas.
01:54 Today, researchers are sure that painters did not create secret signs themselves.
02:03 They were guided by a certain force. Behind them was a black shadow.
02:13 There are many secrets in the world.
02:18 One of them will be revealed today.
02:28 The curse of the crying boy.
02:36 How did one painting destroy hundreds of houses in Great Britain?
02:43 One day all the paintings were put together in one place and set on fire.
02:47 Death at first sight. Who is writing these cursed paintings?
02:52 The next museum employee who dropped the painting,
02:55 almost all the bones were broken.
02:58 Why is the hymn "Self-Killer" banned on all radio stations in the world?
03:04 There was a wave of suicide all over the world.
03:08 Death at the tip of a pen. How do characters revenge their creators?
03:15 I was lying all bloody.
03:17 Who is hiding behind the scenes of the theater?
03:20 And what roles do actors consider dangerous for life?
03:25 I was always a healthy person. And then three-stage operations.
03:30 Inspiration or devilish incitement?
03:34 What kind of power rules great people?
03:38 Gorky had a deal with the devil.
03:42 The secrets of the world. Shadow of the Black Wings.
03:54 Hello, I am Anna Chapman.
03:58 We are investigating the strangest and most mysterious phenomena in the modern world.
04:03 In the 80s of the last century, hundreds of houses burned down in North England for no apparent reason.
04:10 Some victims mentioned that only cheap reproduction survived from this property.
04:17 Here is the painting. It is called "The Crying Boy".
04:22 In 1985, about 300 houses in different counties of North England burned down.
04:32 Experts did not find any signs of fire or any signs of careful handling of fire.
04:41 A resident of Surrey, psychologist Susie Hoggart, recalls those hot days.
04:49 She says that a local municipality created special teams of volunteers to fight fire.
04:57 Immediately, one after another, fires were raging in North England.
05:02 It felt like a fire had been put out.
05:07 A famous English journalist, Steve Pant, tried to find out who was behind the fire in North England.
05:17 I saw reports that were made by firemen at the scene.
05:22 The houses seemed to be on fire by themselves, as if they were under the influence of some kind of magic.
05:27 Who set fire to the houses of decent taxpayers?
05:31 Steve Pant is sure that the Spanish artist, Bragolino, was behind it.
05:37 The reproduction of his painting "The Crying Boy" was in all the burnt houses.
05:45 Moreover, the fire started from the place where the painting was.
05:52 In the 70s and 80s, it was sold in almost every store.
05:56 Reproduction was cheap, so it is not surprising that "The Crying Boy" was in every house.
06:01 Mary Godber's family moved to London in 1986 from Yorkshire, just after a series of strange fires that took place there.
06:12 Mary told this story to her grandmother, who was affected by the fire.
06:21 The firemen came, but there was nothing left of the house. It was completely burnt down.
06:27 The only thing that survived was the reproduction of the painting "The Crying Boy".
06:31 Mary became interested in the history of the mysterious painting and she tried to find out who its author was and who was actually depicted in this portrait.
06:44 I know that the artist was Spanish and in this painting he depicted his little son.
06:49 There is a theory that the artist Giovanni Bragolin depicted "The Crying Boy" as a model of his own son.
07:02 However, the child did not want to cry.
07:05 The father, in order to make the young artist cry, burned matches near his face.
07:12 The boy was afraid of fire to the point of death.
07:17 The boy cried, the artist drew.
07:20 One day the boy shouted at his father, "Burn yourself!"
07:23 Less than a month had passed since the boy died of pneumonia.
07:27 Soon, a fire broke out in Bragolin's house, where the artist himself died.
07:32 Everything but this painting was burnt down.
07:35 We decided to conduct an experiment.
07:38 We ordered a reproduction of "The Crying Boy" in printing and decided to show it to our experts.
07:45 We asked Alena Orlova, Mikhail Sotarov, and psychologist Natalia Moskovskina.
07:52 Our experiment almost failed at the beginning.
07:58 Alena Orlova, or as she calls herself, "the genetic witch",
08:04 barely looked at the reproduction, refused to talk about it and asked to take the portrait out of the room.
08:12 However, later, Alena Orlova agreed to tell what had scared her so much.
08:20 Apparently, the boy died pretty quickly after the painting was drawn.
08:25 And now this hatred and curse is spread to all those who acquire the image of this boy.
08:35 The mental of this boy has the property of coming out of the painting and causing destructive effects in the home where the reproduction is located.
08:48 Our second expert, the famous artist Mikhail Sotarov, is sure that some paintings can really live their own lives and directly affect the audience.
09:04 This painting is about suffering. I think it is also about people's faith that it brings misfortune.
09:11 And this painting will bring curse every year.
09:16 Psychologist Natalia Moskovskina does not believe in mysticism.
09:20 However, after seeing the reproduction, she says that she would hardly hang such a painting at home.
09:28 And she would not advise anyone.
09:31 Of course, in my opinion, hatred is hidden in his eyes.
09:38 And this painting certainly causes stress for a person who looks at it.
09:44 A child is in darkness and darkness swallows him.
09:48 In Great Britain, this painting was declared cursed.
09:54 On November 5, 1985, Sun newspaper reported that a mass burning of a crying boy was taking place in the city's central square.
10:08 On the same day, all the paintings were put together in one place and set on fire.
10:12 People thought that this way they were freed from the curse.
10:15 There was a terrible silence. And suddenly, a child's cry started.
10:19 After that, the fires in Northern England ceased.
10:24 But it is still unknown whether all the reproductions of the crying boy were destroyed.
10:31 And where is the real painting now?
10:36 Watch next.
10:38 Exhibition with a fatal outcome.
10:42 What can kill critics?
10:46 There is a special recommendation for this reproduction.
10:50 People with a weak psyche should not watch.
10:53 They come to life with the onset of night.
10:57 Who becomes a victim of the cursed paintings?
11:02 The museum employee hit this painting, and then he burned in his house.
11:07 The mystery of the portrait. Why did all the painters of the famous artist die?
11:14 Maybe this portrait is a curse.
11:18 It is believed that some works of art can be given magical power in ancient times.
11:33 Modern researchers are trying to prove that this is not a myth.
11:39 They believe that some paintings, books, and musical compositions,
11:45 like living beings, can subjugate a person to their will and even kill him.
11:53 The plane of canvas can seem like a plane at first glance.
11:59 But we know from masterpieces that someone can come out of this plane.
12:09 Not so long ago, researchers made a list of canvases with mystical properties.
12:17 The reputation of the cursed has already been established behind these canvases.
12:24 Sometimes, some creatures come to life in a painting.
12:29 This is also an image.
12:31 The creature, feeling this image, tries to bring it to life.
12:36 Then the painting begins to live its own independent life.
12:40 The work of the Californian surrealist William Stoneham.
12:45 His hands resist him, they have already been baptized by the painting that pursues.
12:52 There is a special recommendation for this reproduction.
12:56 People with a weak psyche should not watch.
12:59 This mysterious painting by the artist Stoneham has been studied by art historians, psychologists, and researchers of anomalous phenomena for 30 years.
13:10 But no one has yet been able to unravel its secrets.
13:13 The scandal around the canvas began after one of the exhibitions.
13:17 People who looked at the painting felt bad. They lost consciousness, began to cry and beat themselves up.
13:25 The artist from Los Angeles Times, who criticized this painting at the exhibition, died the next day.
13:35 Then the canvas was acquired by actor John Marley, who soon died in his own house under mysterious circumstances.
13:44 After the actor's death, the couple Mackenzie from Chicago found the painting in the garbage dump.
13:54 The couple took the painting to their house and hung it in the children's room.
14:00 On the first night, a four-year-old child ran to his parents in the bedroom, shouting that the children in the painting were fighting.
14:11 The next night, the child shouted that the children had left the painting and went to the bedroom door.
14:18 After that, the father installed a video camera in the room, which worked on the movement, and the camera recorded the movement several times during the night.
14:26 Parapsychologist Sergey Madar claims that it is not safe to look at this canvas.
14:34 The painting carries a huge charge of negative energy.
14:41 The boy has a raised forehead, absolutely unnatural proportions. The girl has absolutely unnatural eyes.
14:48 They are empty, deep, as if dolls had torn out their eyes. This is already, in fact, an inhuman face.
14:54 William Stoneham painted this painting in 1972. After he found an old photo in the yard of his house, he painted himself at the age of five with his little sister near the orphanage in Chicago.
15:18 But why did the artist paint his childhood exactly like this?
15:25 We have searched for the author of this painting. William Stoneham lives in Oakland, California.
15:36 He continues to paint, but he considers only one painting to be mystical in his work.
15:44 The artist does not like to talk about the cursed painting.
15:49 But for the first time in 30 years, he made an exception for the program "The Secrets of the World".
15:59 Yes, I know, my paintings are associated with terrible events. People tell terrible stories, as if children drawn in a picture leave it at night.
16:09 The artist says that one night a certain force woke him up and made him go to the studio.
16:19 He began to paint, and by the morning the painting was finished.
16:25 William admits that all this time he seemed to be in a hypnotic dream.
16:33 At night I had a vision. I painted myself at the age of five. And the doll is a guide that can lead us to a parallel world, to the world of dreams.
16:43 Soon after the painting became known as "The Cursed Painting", the artist was cursed.
16:53 William was threatened and asked to stop painting.
17:03 The famous American psychic Ed and Lauren Warren conducted an expertise on the painting and concluded that the souls of the killed children were in the painting.
17:13 It turned out that just that night, when the artist was painting, a brutal murder took place in a neighboring forest.
17:23 William Stoneham does not know where the painting is now.
17:32 The last time he saw it was in February 2000 at an online auction. The person who bought it for his private collection wished to remain unknown.
17:47 One of the most expensive paintings in the world is the famous painting by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, "The Scream".
17:58 In April 2012, it was sold at the Sotheby's auction in New York for $119 million.
18:08 However, many people call the painting "the cursed" because of the series of tragic events that occurred during the "The Scream" exhibition at the National Museum of Norway.
18:23 One of the museum employees accidentally dropped this painting during the restoration.
18:31 The next day, he suddenly lost consciousness. He started having headaches that became unbearable every day.
18:42 A week later, he committed suicide.
18:48 The next employee who dropped the painting had an accident and broke all his bones. He died.
18:54 The next employee hit the painting and burned himself in his house.
19:00 Parapsychologist Sergei Mader, who studies the mystical works of painters, is sure that someone manipulates our consciousness through individual works of art.
19:14 People are being experimented on, and talents are being created through talented people.
19:20 Of course, we can call it an energy-information virus, which will be then circulated among other people.
19:27 Experts believe that dark forces are involved in the creation of a series of paintings, books, and musical compositions.
19:37 The masterpieces of the "The Scream" exhibition are killing and driving people crazy.
19:42 Art is the most powerful tool on earth. It is much more powerful than science.
19:48 Even if you do not understand the picture, you will be affected by a feeling of horror, emptiness, joy, and decline.
19:56 Art is always supernatural and mystical.
20:01 Who will refuse to have their portrait, which is also written by a famous artist?
20:06 Meanwhile, it can be very risky. In the 19th century, artists in Russia faced the reluctance of ordinary people to paint their portraits.
20:16 It was believed that if something happened to the portrait, the person would suffer, get sick, or die.
20:25 Anna Akhmatova, who said that after the death of a person, his portrait changes, also believed in this.
20:33 Few people know that all the painters of Repin died soon after the artist finished working with them.
20:44 This is the only portrait of Modest Musorsky.
20:49 Ilya Repin finished his work and the composer died the next day.
20:55 World-famous surgeon Nikolai Pirogov also posed for Ilya Repin.
21:04 His work on his portrait was finished on December 3, and on December 5, Pirogov died.
21:13 Surprisingly, the tragic fate did not go unnoticed by Peter Stolypin.
21:19 The great reformer was shot the next day after his portrait was finished.
21:27 When an artist creates a portrait, he puts a certain energy into it.
21:34 He can create a portrait in this way, and maybe a curse will be laid in this portrait.
21:39 [Next]
21:42 Satanist and great humanist.
21:46 Who did Maxim Gorky worship?
21:50 Gorky had a contract with the devil.
21:54 What did the famous artist Kazimir Malevich hide?
22:00 The secret of the black square has been revealed.
22:04 The black square of Malevich is a deal with the devil.
22:08 Cursed roles.
22:10 Why actors refuse to play Ivan the Terrible, Ophelia and Superman?
22:18 When I got this role, many people came to me and said, "Refuse, he will be a fool."
22:33 Many world literary masterpieces openly point to the connection of the authors with demonic forces.
22:39 "The Faust" is a contract with Mephistopheles.
22:42 Dorian Gray and Oscar Wilde exchange their souls for eternal youth.
22:47 The writer Yuri Vorobievsky claims that the plot of the sale of the devil's souls is not a literary fantasy at all.
22:59 The researcher is sure that many of the famous authors actually signed a contract with the dark forces.
23:09 Gorky had a contract with the devil.
23:14 This average writer got an unheard of fame from him.
23:31 He used this fame. He was loved in Russia.
23:35 Millions of people read his books and believed him.
23:38 The researcher is sure that Maxim Gorky got his first status as a writer of the USSR thanks to the dark forces.
23:47 There is an interesting fact in Gorky's biography.
23:51 All his life he prayed to one single icon.
23:58 Only one person saw this icon.
24:03 The writer's friend, the playwright Ilya Surguchev.
24:08 Surguchev says, "I look and see.
24:13 It is drawn by a very talented iconographer.
24:18 The devil with horns is scary.
24:22 Scary because he is cheerful, smiles, blushes.
24:28 I am terrified.
24:33 And then I hear from the height of Gorky's height, "Do you want me to give it to you?"
24:39 Being a famous writer, Maxim Gorky tried to commit suicide several times.
24:48 What tormented the writer so much?
24:51 He himself gave an answer to this question in one of his stories.
24:56 After my death, I ask you to open my body and see what the devil was inside me.
25:05 Who was inside me?
25:08 Someone was inside me. Someone was giving me topics. Someone was helping me.
25:13 It is incredible, but in the biographies of many famous people, researchers find facts that confirm the presence of dark forces in their lives.
25:27 The Moscow artist Mikhail Sotarov is sure that the author of "The Fallen Demon" wrote his masterpiece under the impression of what he saw.
25:39 I understand that he had a dream about Satan. He told him, "It's so good that you wrote my icon."
25:47 And this is not a one-time thing.
25:50 The black square with a white background.
25:53 The painting of Kazimir Malevich, created at the beginning of the century, still attracts researchers and artists.
26:05 Alexander Benoit said some amazing words.
26:09 "The black square of Malevich is a deal with the devil."
26:13 Researchers are sure that with the help of art, one can influence the masses.
26:19 By capturing the soul of one talented person, dark forces subordinate millions to themselves.
26:28 If the devil is misunderstood or turned into God, as it happened with Bulgakov's block, then write "The Fallen Demon" and put out the light.
26:43 Historian Yuri Vorobievsky says that writers, artists, musicians and actors are always under close observation of dark forces.
26:56 The choice of the demonic world is in the hands of a talented person.
27:00 And so, these talentless, but of course, having a huge amount of advantages over a human, use what they don't have - human talents.
27:13 Therefore, it is necessary to impress one or two people who are definitely in the general mass, are highlighted as the brightest stars.
27:24 And this means that they will be believed.
27:26 And the art that they will bring to the masses will be recognized and can be canonized.
27:32 This is necessary without communication.
27:34 Experts are sure that many really talented people find a patron in the face of the devil.
27:44 Having made a deal with him, they lose their souls, but gain world fame and fame.
27:56 There is an expression "Art requires victims".
27:59 And suddenly it turns out that the victims are the most real in terms of sacrifice.
28:04 To get something, you have to give something.
28:08 Therefore, it may be that the fates of famous, talented people are so unfortunate.
28:15 One of the most mystical types of art, director Sergei Ginzburg considers cinema.
28:23 The director is sure that today this is the easiest way to influence the masses.
28:30 In some cases, the actors themselves become hostages of the devil's power.
28:37 When you start to live in a certain circumstance, in a certain fantasy, it becomes a reality for you.
28:48 And the more talented you are, the more you are influenced by the devil.
28:59 The priest Oleg Orlov claims that hypocrisy is the devil's main weapon.
29:07 One thing is when an actor shows an image of a person on stage or in a movie.
29:15 Another thing is when he appears in the role of an evil spirit.
29:20 If an actor dares to enter the image of the devil, to enter the image of a vile, vile, vile,
29:33 then a person at the mystical level becomes so involved that often he has a demon in his image.
29:43 There is a movie that no actor wants to play.
29:49 Here is a list of the most dangerous characters.
29:51 Ophelia, Ivan the Terrible, Judas and, oddly enough, Superman.
29:55 It is believed that these roles are cursed.
29:57 Their performers usually die in mysterious circumstances.
30:02 Researchers are sure that the leaders in the collection of souls are Voland and his suite from the novel "The Master and Margarita" by Bulgakov.
30:14 Statistics are depressing.
30:16 Because the role of Korovov, as you know, was played by Abdulov.
30:20 In the theater, as you know, the role of Voland was played by Filatov.
30:23 And the most genius people, the most genius actors, have survived all this.
30:27 In general, they died much earlier in time than they could have died.
30:32 That is, if a person has a dark side to himself, then what kind of devil do you try on yourself?
30:38 The devil will eventually succeed.
30:40 We remember the difficult fate and death of Victor Avilov, who played in "The Master and Margarita" on stage.
30:50 He dared to cross the line that separates a good man from Satanism.
30:58 And Satan killed him.
31:00 Victor Avilov played in the theater "Voland" with two cross-hairs.
31:06 But on tours in Germany, his heart stopped twice.
31:12 The role of the devil became the last for the actor.
31:16 In 2004, he died of cancer.
31:21 Valery Ivakin, who replaced Avilov, had a heart attack on the second performance.
31:29 The stage was taken over by the artistic director of the theater, Valery Belikovich.
31:35 I had to play Voland.
31:37 Because who?
31:39 And I had a terrible disease.
31:44 I was always healthy.
31:46 And then three lacerations, blood, and so on.
31:51 It is believed that the terrible horn hangs over the role of Judas.
31:57 In 1997, the Englishman Tony Wheeler, who played Judas, hanged himself on the stage during the performance "The Passion of Christ."
32:09 In 2011, the story was repeated.
32:14 Brazilian actor Tiago Klimek died during the performance in which he played the role of Judas Iscariot.
32:23 The actor hung on the rope for four minutes before the eyewitnesses realized what was happening.
32:34 The curse of Judas was not without the Russian actor Valery Eremenko.
32:42 Relatives and friends begged the actor to give up this role in the rock opera "Jesus Christ Superstar."
32:52 When I got this role, many people came to me and said, "Don't be a fool, you can't take off your clothes, you can't put on a loop."
33:03 During rehearsals, the actor even lost consciousness several times.
33:09 And once he almost lost his life.
33:13 The chair that was hanging on the wall, which I had to play in the second act, it broke off the wall.
33:22 And it broke off at the moment when I bent down to fix the makeup and smashed the chair on which I was sitting.
33:31 Is it a tragic coincidence or a mystical pattern?
33:37 Researchers still cannot explain why some productions, films and roles carry the seal of dark forces.
33:49 Watch next. Literary prophets predict the future. Who dictates information to them?
34:00 He begins to write automatically, his consciousness is disconnected.
34:05 A poet from Murmansk described his death in detail 30 years before the tragic death.
34:14 The book is in the right side.
34:19 The heroes of the book come to life and avenge their authors. Who attempted to kill Yulia Shilova?
34:27 This young man, without saying a word, just turns around and hits me on the head with his foot.
34:41 It is still a mystery how many writers could predict their fate and even name the date of death.
34:49 Mikhail Bulgakov persistently repeated that he would die in 1939 and died in the beginning of 1940.
34:54 Nikolai Rubtsov wrote "I will die in the Crescent frosts". The poet really died on the cross on January 19.
35:01 Fyodor Sologub "I am inclined to death in December". The date of death is December 5.
35:06 These are the lines of Andrey Belov "I will die from the sunbeams". He was killed by a sunstrike.
35:12 Mikhail Lermontov himself once wrote "Tell them that I was wounded in the flight to Georgia".
35:17 Everything was exactly right.
35:19 This is a scientifically proven fact. Many creative people can look into the future, predict events and even predict their death.
35:33 Alexander Ryzhov, a researcher from Murmansk, is sure that the writer receives this information from the otherworldly forces.
35:42 Akhmatova said that poets do not predict, but actually come true.
35:48 It was a direct warning to the authors that they should not play such games.
35:53 They should not even joke about their own death.
35:57 Alexander has been collecting and analyzing facts related to literary prophecies for several years.
36:06 The reason for this investigation was the death of his friend, the poet Vladimir Smirnov.
36:13 He fell face down into the snowdrifts and froze because it was very cold.
36:17 He was lying there for several days and his body was very cold.
36:25 He had to be thawed in the morgue for a long time.
36:28 It happened in 1993.
36:31 The poet died in 10 steps from the threshold of his own dacha.
36:37 His wife Rosa Smirnova remembers that day with horror.
36:42 He was lying on his right side, his hand was in the snow, it did not move.
36:51 It is incredible, but exactly 30 years before his death, the poet described his own death in detail.
37:01 The poem was published in 1993 in the collection "Poklonnyy krest".
37:10 I walk on the ridge, on the ground,
37:13 Suddenly on one of the lines I fall,
37:16 I am cold and pierced, with my head, I am buried in the snowdrifts.
37:20 But one day, in the dreams of a deceived archaeologist,
37:24 They will dig up the frozen me instead of the frozen mammoth.
37:28 The friend of the poet who died, Dmitry Korzhov, recalls that Vladimir Smirnov told about a strange vision.
37:38 He often dreamed the same dream.
37:42 A black figure in a cloak shows a strange picture.
37:47 A dead body, covered with snow.
37:51 Hit, hit, absolute hit.
37:54 It's terrible, you can't predict your death in poems.
37:57 It can have some terrible consequences.
38:00 There is an opinion among researchers that people do not predict the future, but model it.
38:12 Words recorded on paper gain an independent life.
38:18 This was not so long ago, when the writer Yulia Shilova was convinced.
38:27 She assures that the plots of her novels become reality.
38:33 And she herself gets into the situations that she described on paper.

40:57 This song was refused to broadcast by all radio stations in the world.
41:08 It was believed that it pushes people to suicide.
41:11 According to the most common version, the idea of creating a song arose in 1936, on a gloomy Sunday.
41:19 The young Hungarian pianist Regé Sheresh quarreled with his lover and wrote a song in desperation, calling it "Dark Sunday".
41:28 The composition quickly became popular. But a few months later, the wave of suicides plagued Hungary.
41:36 The hymn of suicides. This is how people called this song.

42:04 The epidemic of such suicides spread all over the world.
42:09 The whole story of this song raises more mysteries than answers.
42:14 It is full of mysticism.
42:17 In the end, not only hundreds of people who listened to this song committed suicide, but also the author himself.
42:27 The author of the hymn "Suicide" died in 1968, throwing himself out of the window of his apartment in Budapest.
42:38 And his beloved poisoned.
42:41 A musical score of Sheresh's song was found next to her body.
42:48 For decades, researchers have been trying to unravel the mystery of this work.
42:57 Composer Ilya Melamed is sure that the riddle is hidden inside the song.
43:04 You know, in this song there are certain moments that can be interpreted as a certain predestination.
43:13 In the melody itself, and in the harmonic series, there is a constant rise and fall again to the very beginning.
43:21 The composer explains. The strange sequence of notes from the song "Dark Sunday" is not the discovery of the Hungarian composer.
43:32 It is this descending D minor triad that Beethoven chose as the leitmotif of his last 9th symphony.
43:44 Ilya Melamed claims that the combination of three notes in such a sequence causes the listener to be anxious and afraid.
43:57 It is an inexplicable fact, but in the world of music there is a so-called curse of the 9th symphony.
44:04 Legend has it that many famous composers died after composing a symphony called the 9th.
44:11 This is Beethoven, Bruckner, Schubert and a number of other musicians.
44:16 Recently, scientists made a sensational discovery. In Iraq, at the site of the ancient state of Shumer, a clay tablet of the 3rd millennium BC was found.

45:38 Shonchalay is sure that only the chosen ones could communicate directly with the spirits. Shaman priests and people of art.
45:50 The one who wrote the music was given it. We are given everything. All that we can, the spirits give us.
45:59 Music is the music that came to the composer and caused this thing. He interpreted it that way.
46:09 According to Shaman, people associated with creativity are intermediaries between our world and another reality.
46:19 Through their paintings, books, music, other forces can influence the minds of millions.
46:28 Many researchers believe that inspiration is a trance, during which a person opens a spiritual portal.
46:39 The author himself does not own himself at this moment. But who then controls his consciousness and dictates the themes?
46:50 Stephen King, the King of Horrors, said, "I have a small box of horrors that I open like a Pandora's box and slowly pull out one by one.
47:00 But creativity is still a mystery. And perhaps there is no answer to the main question - who is in charge of the creative processes, the author himself or some forces?
