    This is absolutely magnificent! While many civilizations at that time were just emerging out of the dirt, Greeks had already built such fortified structures which put even the modern engineers in awe! Simply OUTSTANDING!

      *_You should see Persepolis around one or two centuries older than the Parthenon and twice the height. Some modern historians are arguing wether Persian engineers were sent to Greece to build these temples of worship as to show, not only their acceptance but encouragement of different religions and cultures and as a gift to Greece perhaps in order to convince them to join the Persian empire_*

    The Parthenon doesn't look like that because it was withered by time, but because people destroyed it. The most damage was probably done by the Venetians and Turks when Athens was under Turkish occupation and the Turks stored gunpowder in the Parthenon that blew up when it got hit by the Venetian besiegers. And in the 19th century the British bribed the Turks so they could loot the remaining Parthenon, sawing off sculptures and marbles, destroying irreplacable cultural heritage in the process, to bring it to Britain. Britain now refuses to return the Parthenon marbles, now renamed Elgin marbles to honour the person who looted this for Britain, claiming that the looting was a creative act and that they are legally bound to not return it to Greece, because according to British law, these Parthenon marbles are now property of the looters and the looters do not want to return the Parthenon marbles back to Greece...

    Note that in this part of the documentary is not being mentioned that the actual reason the Parthenon was erected, wasn't exactly to celebrate Goddess Athena, ruther than to celebrate the victory of free men (Athenians) over an invading army which aimed to enslave them and Greece as a whole.

      It is a huge difference when you see ancient buildings in Rome and false ancient building in Athene. It's not matter to like or dislike, it comes from the fact that Roman antic building have a long tradition and own history, in this case we have fabricated history from 1830 to nowadays. You can charm people who doesn't know the past but you cannot cheat the people who are educated with the knowledge of the past and knowledge of buildings material. It's so horrible for the person who deals with historical research especially when it recognizes a salt coated marble which is produced over a period of time who determines the age of the building and a marble that is set less than 150 years on soil without foundation. I personally like the ancient buildings who still held the ancient in themselves which are held in the original version but this violent method of rewriting history, NO, anyhow thank you for your advice.

    The Parthenon was in very good condition until the Italians blew it up in 1687, which turned the great structure into a pile of ruble.
    People were robbing the little bits and pieces when Lord Elgin acquired some for the British Museum.

    • @elbmw
      @elbmw 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Actually the Italians did not blow it up. The Venetians had barricaded themselves in the Acropolis, besieged by the Ottoman Turks and used the Parthenon as their ammunition dump. It was a Turkish cannon ball that hit the Parthenon and exploded the ammunition within it.
      The Parthenon was not completed for many decades. The current restoration project is also only a few decades old but progress has been slow for several reasons. 1) The Archaeologists and restoration experts are having to be extra careful not to damage the existing structures. 2) Work is slower as the original architect Phidias employed hundreds of persons for the project. All in all there were thousands of people involved in its construction. 3) Current works have sometimes been stalled as it was hoped the the UK would return the sculptures as it is difficult to reconstruct the building to its original specification without them.
      May I suggest you fact check?

      @@elbmw Fact check is a good idea, indeed. The story about Turks and Venetians is true, but the Turks were inside, and the Venetians outside. Both are to blame: the Turks for storing ammunition in there, and the Venetians for bombarding it. Current works have been going on for over 40 years (not....300, as ziggy2shus wrote). We agree that they are very careful and meticulous -- basically they are putting every possible fragment back in its place. But their progress has nothing to do with the sculptures.

    Oh yes, the Parthenon. Could it be that this is not the original structure? It is the one that was created during the Athenian "Golden age" but that hill was sacred for many milleniums before. Some archeologists or some people do have trouble understanding that the locations pre-existed as important in the minds of people. The monuments came after. So below this structure exists the older temple, and below that one it is probable, that one or two more may be found (or what is left of them, if anything is left).

    Lord Elgin destroyed the temple and the acropolis. These belong to the Greek people. Their story is what would happen if some Greeks or Germans, for example, took armor kings arthur or english knight to their own museums and said we will not give them back. Lord Elgin is a pirate and a thief. The Ottoman The empire had nothing to do with the history of the Greek people. All the documents are fake, they made them just to say that they are theirs now.
    They are not protected by the English, they just destroyed a history of thousands of years. He left the temple exposed to the weather. Nobody has the right to keep them and say that he protects them from the moment he has done some damage by removing them.

      @Buj Ozborn I dont think so. Ottomans were muslims. Anything not islamic was either assimilated or destroyed. The ottomans tried hard to assimilate the greeks into islam and they were successful with a part of the population, the rest prevailed cause they went to hidden schools at night, those that were caught lost their heads (im talking about male children cause you can imagine what happened to the girls). The ottomans were barbaric...their genocides are well known. Also they used to raid greek villages and take baby boys and raise them as soldiers to be used against greeks and anyone else who wouldnt accept islamic ottoman assimilation...kind of like the borg. Theres even a story about how a mother that had twin boys managed to hide one and the ottomans took the other....years later the two brothers met in combat and were shocked that they had the same face, one fought for greek independence and the other was a Janissary...Dont you think that the Janissary method of "recruitment" was barbaric? Theres even an old tradition to dress male toddlers like girls ...thats how brutal the ottoman practices were ... i have seen photos of my father being 3 yo wearing what appears to be a girls dress...and he was born in the 50's! Imagine having your son taken away so that one day be send to behead you! The shock was so hard that it became a fucking tradition to hide boys so they wont be taken! I have a big list here of some very interesting and original barbaric acts the ottomans did. I can go on and list all of them here. It would be wise to also refer to those turks as ottomans....modern turks are their descendants but they are not the same barbaric ppl as in the past...i hope. If you dont think that the ottomans were not barbaric then im scared to the thought to what you would consider barbaric. Your standards for barbarism must be pretty brutal. Your definition of barbaric is wrong...you probably got confused and used the wrong word. The reason why greeks are considered awesome is because no matter who tried to destroy them they prevailed and kept their identity.

I think it very wise and kind of Britain to have rescued the 'Elgin reliefs' & associated art. . .from pollution, vandalism, black market, seismic, and political intrigue (military arsenal during war). And they still exist. If you look at the Vatican you can see what pollution does. Because "Elgin" has been a neighbor in my thinking for more than 50 years, the Acropolis is something I've thought of from time to time. So glad to see restoration of the Acropolis. Marshal Tito's death has brought much distress to the region. . .Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Greek refinance, political upheaval, etc.. Turkey, Crete, Cyprus, Palestinian, Egyptian, and more. The stress brought by trying to assert Olympian possession of heritage . . . the Olympics. Make exact copies and keep originals protected from various elements . . . as they are now.

    Why people used marbles. Marbles are seasoned silicate usually found under big river lakes over years of water flow. They have a good polishing finish. To assemble them it was a little bit easy and extreme fine art work can be done with clear detailing and finish look. Moreover planters are not much needed as they could cut wedges and stack with extraordinary precision to get a well balanced structure. Usually tall structures are difficult with small stones and plaster. Weather also took less tolls. Ideal heat and temperature maintenance inside. Water storage was easy inside high mountains. Mostly overlooking the place. Water was number one requirements for the city below.
