==Activities==
===Ancient Greek wreath===

In 1992, during an [[opening act]] of his own [[paintings]] in a [[gallery]] in [[Munich]], he came into [[contact]] with one [[ancient]] [[artifact]] of greatest [[value]] - a golden [[Greece|Greek]] wreath (400 [[BC]]).<ref>ps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Archaeological_Museum%2C_Thessaloniki%2C_Greece_(7457727770).jpg</ref> After the [[examination]] of the [[object]], he gave to the [[persons]] who brought him the ancient treasure [[information]] of possible interested buyers. Soon the object was sold to "the [[J. Paul Getty]] Museum" in [[Malibu, California]].<ref>The Medici Conspiracy, Index Athanassios Celia, Chapter 21, Pages 310-312, 321 | https://books.google.com/books?id=pZ44DgAAQBAJ&pg=PT419&lpg=PT419&dq=athanassios+celia&source=bl&ots=5J0_T1jEbd&sig=IW4WrBA3zLvFyI4mqfSjAlfyiDk&hl=el&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiL69mZ_eLTAhUGAcAKHZzEDBEQ6AEILjAB#v=onepage&q=athanassios%20celia&f=false</ref> When Athanasio Celia later heard that the golden wreath had been illegally excavated, he informed the [[Germany|German]] authorities, and, years later, he handed over to the [[Greece|Greek]] [[state]] the [[photos]] which had been handed over to him by the smugglers, in [[order]] to enable the return of the [[object]] to [[Greece]] in 2007. An [[award]]-winning [[documentary]] about the [[subject]] has been broadcasted 2011 in several [[countries]].<ref>DocArt | http://www.docart.it/index.php?/en_portfolio_page/131/ | titel: Looters of the Gods | Sequences about Athanasio Celia: 15'30''- 17'32'', 29'00''- 29'25'', 48'11''- 50'12''</ref>

===Sketchbook attributed to Van Gogh===
In a further case, in 2007, Athanasio Celia examined a [[notebook]] with sketches which had been looted by the [[Nazis]]. In his report he attributed the notebook to the [[Dutch people|Dutch]] painter [[Vincent van Gogh]].<ref>Karolos Grohmann | Reuters | https://www.reuters.com/article/us-greece-vangogh-idUSL1616838020080116 | titel: Experts examine "Van Gogh" sketchbook in Greece | date 2008-01-16</ref><ref>ABC News Australia | http://www.abc.net.au/news/2008-01-17/experts-examine-van-gogh-sketchbook/1015196 | titel: Experts examine 'van Gogh'sketchbook | date 2008-01-17</ref><ref>Mail online News | http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-508643/Van-Gogh-sketchbook-looted-Nazis-discovered-Greece.html | titel: Van Gogh sketchbook 'looted by Nazis' is discovered in Greece | date 2008-01-17</ref>  His [[study]] on the notebook was published in a [[chapter]] of the [[book]] “The Notebook of Vincent” , for which Athanasio Celia also wrote the preface.<ref>ΤΟ ΣΗΜΕΙΩΜΑΤΑΡΙΟ ΤΟΥ VINCENT / The Notebook of Vincent  (author :  ΝΤΟΡΕΤΑ-ΔΙΟΔΩΡΑ  ΠΕΠΠΑ / Diodora Doreta Peppa)  |  Look at: a) Περιεχόμενα / Contents (5.

===Painting attributed to Van Gogh===
One year later, in 2008, he examined again an [[artifact]] which had been looted by the [[Nazis]]. This time it was an [[oil painting]], which he also attributed to [[Vincent van Gogh]] and according to his report “it was the last [[painting]] of [[Vincent van Gogh]]”.<ref>The Guardian | https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2008/may/19/art.news | titel: Experts fall out over Van Gogh's 'last painting' | date 2008-05-19</ref>

===Publication of scientific study proving the existence of God (2006, 2015, 2018)===

The publication ("God's letters")<ref>Forth publication</ref> is about a man who in 2001 recorded a vision, which contained 132 capital letters of the Greek alphabet that created a quadrangular shape 11 to 12. A study revealed that the text is readable in 115 different ways in the ancient Greek language and parallel it encloses depictions and symbols. Besides, it can be simultaneously deciphered mathematically. The whole process of the deciphering shows off an unbreakable mathematical, geometrical and theological coherence which in the end presents 10 big revealing texts. The vision-text, which has as its principal symbol the crucifix of Jesus Christ, turned out to be the Contemporary Revelation.

The German edition of that study ("Der Logos - Der Gottes Beweis"<ref>Second publication</ref>), is published by the same protestant publisher who also publishes the renowned "German biographical encyclopedia covering persons related to the history of the Church".<ref>German biographical encyclopedia covering persons related to the history of the Church | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biographisch-Bibliographisches_Kirchenlexikon</ref>. Furthermore the German edition is broadly accepted by German Christian communities who also represent it through their bookstores.<ref>Bookstore of the diocese in Stuttgart -- https://www.buchdienst-wernau.de/gesamt-sortiment,vlb_book_details?vid=isbn13-9783883099682</ref><ref>Bookstore of Veritas -- https://www.veritas-shop.com/list?quick=athanasio+celia&cat= </ref> Finally, is as well important, that the book is already registered in the "Index Theologicus"<ref>Index Theologicus | German | https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_theologicus</ref><ref>Athanasio Celia in the Index Theologicus | https://ixtheo.de/Search/Results?lookfor=174193769</ref> of the University of Tübingen.<ref>Evangelisch-Theologische Fakultät Tübingen | German | https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelisch-Theologische_Fakult%C3%A4t_T%C3%BCbingen</ref>
