    Great Altar of Zeus is indeed in Berlin Museum because it was smuggled by a German archelogist Carl Humann in late 1800s.

    This is the Biblical city of Pergamos, where one of the seven churches mentioned in the book of Revelation was located! It was to this church that Jesus said He knew where satan's seat was (regarding a fault in that particular church where they allowed satan a stronghold there).
