I have been fascinated with the past all my life. Although time travel is not possible (at least, as far as I know), we can still experience it through what I call "relics of the fourth dimension." Namely, as the old saying goes, "time marches on." We can't travel in the fourth dimension, except going forward in the present, but we can follow the trail of the fourth dimension. Along the way, people lose or discard items from their being. These relics are unintentional time capsules that give us as glimpse into their lives. Here on The Time Searchers blog, I will show some relics of the past that I have run across in our present. Sometimes when I am out on a relic hunt with the Colonial Relic Hunter, we know that we are not alone. There is more than just relics at these historical sites. Indeed, it could be said that there is a portal to the past, perhaps to another dimension, where that which once was, still is. A place where the real consorts with the shadows; the present fuses with the past, on Time Searchers: Ghost Relics.

FUNERAL IN BERLIN (1966) FILM-1950'S GERMAN BERLIN POLICE SIGN.


     HERE'S A GERMAN BERLIN POLICE SIGN FROM THE TIME SEARCHERS ARCHIVE.
IT DATES BACK TO THE 1950'S.   I WAS SCREENING "FUNERAL IN BERLIN" A FEW NIGHTS AGO AND I THOUGHT WHAT A GREAT BLOG ENTRY THAT WOULD MAKE WITH THE SIGN.  IN THE FILM, WHEN HARRY PALMER (MICHAEL CAINE) GOES TO THE POLICE STATION, YOU SEE SOME SIGNS LIKE THE ONE ABOVE EXCEPT THOSE LISTS OTHER  POLICE STATIONS IN BERLIN.  
    HERE'S A TRAILER FOR THE FILM.  HARRY SALTZMAN OF JAMES BOND FAME PRODUCED THIS FILM.  MICHAEL CAINE GAVE A GREAT PORTRAYAL OF A BRITISH AGENT IN A REALISTIC WAY. THERE ARE MANY GRAY AREAS OF MORALITY AND CERTAINLY NO SLICK, FANCY GADGETS,  LUXURY OR CLEAR CUT GOOD VS EVIL FOR MICHAEL CAINE'S HARRY PALMER AGENT CHARACTER.        


     THE FILM PORTRAYS GERMANY AS IT WAS BEFORE THE WALL CAME DOWN.  I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT GERMANY SURVIVES ITS PRESENT DIFFICULTIES AND ELECTS A RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT THAT WILL PROTECT ITS CITIZENS MORE THAN THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION.-THE TIME SEARCHER.
