00:00Ancient Greece at their fingertips.
00:09Residents of this aged care home in Melbourne, no longer able to visit museums themselves,
00:14had the history brought to them.
00:16We were talking for 3,000 years before, for Alexander the Great.
00:22Coins, helmets, an ancient song.
00:27It's called the Song of Sekilios, it is the oldest recorded song with notations that
00:35exists.
00:39Staff from the Hellenic Museum in Melbourne led the elders in workshops around board games
00:44and weaving techniques.
00:45People were saying it reminded me of my mum, of my childhood.
00:49And it triggered their memory of watching their grandmothers weave their mothers.
00:57Ancient wisdom passed down through generations.
00:59These designs actually go back to ancient Greece.
01:02But for staff at the facility, the significance of the day lies a little closer to home.
01:07Many of our residents, when they move into aged care, they may have been quite isolated
01:11at home, but then they gain this whole community here.
01:15That community, a testament to thousands of years of recorded history, still with so much knowledge
01:25left to share.
01:26As soon as you meet someone when you're in your youth and you click, you must marry immediately.
01:32See you next time.
01:34See ya.
01:44This could be amazing.
01:46This could be lovely.
01:47This could be very disturbing.
01:48Thank you, it hits all the candle tonight, so I think it will be real.
01:53Thank you, man.
01:56受���or bar cars and다 safe when you fear, and try doing the things that play by me.
