Looks like they were loosely trying to make a samurai statue, and guess where some of Darth Vader was inspired from.
I don’t think that that was a complete sentence.
And it also ended in a preposition. Tsk Tsk!
You guys should be happy I didn’t use the F Word.
And I was finished guys.
Samurai? In Prague?
FTW
Eh, Golem is a creature from the prague jewish myths and it’s NOT inspired by samurais.
trekkies are global :p
um…..that’s StarWars, chief. Not Star Trek.
Well, in all fairness, I don’t think the statue looks anything like Golem either.
LOL!!!
THEN WHO/WHAT IS GOLEM?
Gollum=little twisted creature from Tolkien
Golem=an animated creature made from inanimate matter (that is, a wooden doll that moves and talks, etc.) It is a Jewish myth.
I think Drink is talking about the Pokemon…
It’s an awesome statue though.
One correction: golems are made of clay, not wood.
Golems can be made of anything dude, that’s why it’s mythical.
Another correction: Golems cannot talk; that’s how they could be discovered in the Jewish stories.
But I’d be careful of the use of the word “myth,” which is often made synonymous with “lie.”
It is said that the son of the rabbi who made the Golem of Prague brought it back to life, and it lives to this day.
While that Golem cannot speak, it can post internet rebuttals to all the cruel falsehoods humans spread about us poor, mute golems.
Pop culture fail.
Wow.
Second!
even if you were second, nobody would care.. and just for the record, the second, logically, is actually the reply on the first. If you are second your comment will be on the bottom of the page.
Not that it matters, but the reply on the first is actually 8 hours after the first.
Second was the one who confused Star Wars with Star Trek or whatever order some anal retentive fool is going to tell me they belong in.
The statue looks like a darth vader with Boobs and a skirt.
The statue is awfully busty, isn’t it?
i shall remain stone-faced to your pun
behold, my schizo statue friend: Smegol
People need to stop confusing ‘Golem’ and ‘Gollum’. >_<
Amen to that, Rattus!
Lyke Srsly.
On a more intelligent note, people need to learn to fricking SPELL.
sooo right
Wonder if the statue was a partial inspiration? Though personally I think Dark Vader pretty much is based on Darkseid.
Vader was almost 100% based on Samurai armor. It’s just a coincidence that czec armor seems to resemble it fairly closely.
What gives you that idea?
Dark Vader? seriously? even if your not a fan every one knows his name is Darth Vader
Izzat really a statue of the Golem of Jewish myth or a knight in a suit of armor? Or did the Golem wear armor? I suppose it should have since everyone was creeped out/scared of it.
My cat’s breath smells like cat food.
“I bent my Wookie” seems more appropriate given the subject of this page.
Cool!
I like QI facts.
You win 10 internetz for saying using Convergent evolution properly.
I salute your historical armour knowledge, but the statue is “Platnéř” (loosely translated as armourer, or plate-armour maker), located at the entrance of Platnéřská street into the Marian square. Has absolutely nothing to do with the golem or the jewish quarter (although these are close to each other). Also coincidentally about fifty meters from my place of work
Is there a Golem statue too? I just read up on that Golem, apparently half of its “words” were rubbed out, so it only has “death” left, and it could be revived. Allegedly it’s still stored somewhere, just in case (it was used against anti-semites, but it ran riot).
I am not aware of it; not saying that it doesn´t exist but I´d be surprised. And yes, the legend (if I can call it that) ends with the golem being stored away – most often at the top of the old-new synagogue – but needless to say, it´s never been found
This looks a lot like Darth Vader, plz send more looks like!
It’s a statue of the Commendatore from Mozart’s “Don Juan,” which was premiered in Prague. It’s near the Jewish Quarter, but then so is the theatre.
No it isn’t.
Click my name. That is the Commendatore statue (Il Commendatore by Anna Chromy).
No it doesn’t! Just because it has a cape and a helmet doesn’t mean it looks like effing Darth Vader. Even with my glasses off it doesn’t look like Darth Vader. Look-alike fail.
Put your glasses on then.
*you* look like darth vader.
That’s your opinion, of course, and we have to respect it. But you are soooooooooo wrong! This an excelent TLL.
Eurgh, this has NOTHING to do with the golem! It´s, the Iron Man, also known as Cursed Knight or, somewhat unacurrately but more popularly, the “Armory Maker”; from the corner of Platnéřská and Marian square, close enough to but definitely not the Jewish quarter.
If you speak czech, you can click my name and read more about it. Although, if you speak czech, you´re less likely to mess up Prague´s sights and history *eyerolls*
“if you speak Czech”? hmmm…This site seems to be in English, perhaps most people here speak English? Considering how small a country Czech Republic is, I wouldn’t get so easily annoyed how few people speak Czech here. We appreciate your information, but “*eyerolls*” seem a bit silly.
Obviously the artist who made the statue was a Darth Vader fan. Totally a Homage.
The statue may well be older than the star wars movies, which are obviously based on samurai armour. I guess the japanese were copying darth vader with their armour too? After all, it was a long, long time ago….
good one, that.
Its not GOLEM,you ass, that is knight!
As said below, that is not a statue of the Golem. It’s a statue whose name is alternately given as Železný rytíř (the Iron Knight) or Kamenný rytíř (the Stone Knight), by Ladislav Šaloun (1870-1946; same guy who made the Jan Hus statue in Old Town Square). It’s part of the New City Hall building, standing on the corner of Platnéřská st. and Mariánské sq.
the Commendatore statue “Il Commendatore by Anna Chromy”. looks like Palpatine.
All my life I thought that this is Golem – http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~peter/COM1070/L1n2/golem.jpg
It’s our movie Golem – I am from Prague.
i think u guys dont f…..g know who Jan Žižka was…
No golem…pls
czech hero-almost like Darth Vader
Yannie u right…
That isn’t the Golem of Prague. That is Yakim (I think that’s how you spell it) who was a warrior who broke his woman’s heart and is now doomed to walk the streets of Prague until he finds a virgin who forgives what he did and will walk him through Prague for an hour. The Golem was a monster made by a Jewish mystic to protect the Jewish Quarter. But yes, Yakim does look like Darth Vader.
Deb’s almost got it right. I’ve heard that the knight accused his wife of cheating on him. She denied it. He killed her. Turns out she was innocent. And now he’s doomed to walk the streets of Prague as a ghost. Once in a hundred years, he will appear at midnight. If he finds a woman who will kiss him, he will be set free. Personally, I just think it’s a clever story some Prague guy dreamed up so that girls will be more willing to kiss a complete stranger at midnight.
Of course, it goes without saying that it just wouldn’t work for the Dark Lord of the Sith. Hard to smooch through that air-filter visor thing of his.
By the way, you can see the sorrowful (and dead) wife if you look real hard in the lower left hand of the knight’s picture.
HAHAHAHAHA.
They do look very similar… I guess that’s where all the Star Trek inpiration came from. I never understood why Dark Vather was king of the Klingons or whatever but eh, I’m not a sci-fi guru.
THAT’S NO GOLEM!! It’s actually just a statue of Ollie Maršálek, my maternal grandfather. Everybody used to dress like that. I still do on weekends.
Every golem found in Europe should be torn down and smashed as though it were a Saddam Hussein statue!
We’re calling politicians golems, right?
“Darth i am your father!”
“No wonder im always sooooooooo hard”
lol >.>
Další chytráci,kde by se v Česky vzali samurajové…
