01. Name and Explanation

Denmark's name comes from the old Norse term "Danmǫrk," which likely means "the Danish border region" or "the Danish homeland." The name refers to the Danish people, one of the Germanic tribes who lived in that area in the early Middle Ages. The word "march" indicates it was an important border or frontier area for the Danes.

The current design of the National Coat of Arms of Denmark was adopted by King Frederick VI in 1819. It features three crowned blue lions facing left and surrounded by nine red hearts. All of which is placed atop a golden shield. The crown on the shield is the crown of King Christian V.

The white cross represents Christianity. The red color symbolizes the courage and bravery of the crusader knights.

Denmark has a unicameral parliament called the Folketing, which is responsible for passing legislation, overseeing the government, and representing the Danish people. Members of the Folketing (MPs) are elected through a proportional representation system.

Political System

Denmark has a monarch as the head of state, but the powers of the monarch are largely ceremonial. The current monarch (as of my last update in January 2022) is Queen Margrethe II.

6.Tourist attractions

The sculpture, made of white concrete, portrays the meeting between pure, unspoilt mankind and nature. Man, innocent as from his mother’s womb. Man before rising up and beginning to act. That, according to Wiig Hansen, was where things started to go wrong - when man got"dirt" on his hands. Wiig Hansen has portrayed this encounter by creating a universal sculpture that has the mood of a temple, of an acropolis - a sculpture with a sacred aura to it. This sacred aura is attained by the rigid appearance of the human figures, something which reminds the onlooker of the Memnon columns or Ramses II gazing out over the Nile Valley at Abu Simbel. It is also impossible for the onlooker not to be reminded of the mysterious stone figures on the Easter Islands.
