The Akhal-Teke is a horse breed from Turkmenistan, where they are a national emblem. They have a reputation for speed and endurance, intelligence, and a distinctive metallic sheen. The shiny coat of palominos and buckskins led to their nickname “Golden Horses”. These horses are adapted to severe climatic conditions and are thought to be one of the oldest existing horse breeds

The royal city of the last Egyptian Dynasty (Ptolemaic Dynasty), where Cleopatra, the last queen of ancient Egypt, ruled and died, was lost in a series of earthquakes in the Fourth Century AD. For decades archeologists tried to discover this legendary city, in which the dramas between Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, Marc Antony and Octavius took place.


Discovery of Ancient Alexandria

In 1996, after many years of research and use of the most sophisticated electronic equipment, Franck Goddio discovered the remains of the city under water in the eastern harbor of Alexandria. The HILTI FOUNDATION financed the activities. In a press conference in Alexandria in November 1996, the findings were presented to the public the first time.
