Wow, as someone studying his PhD in Ancient Greek History I can say this is one of the best reconstructions of the Acropolis I’ve seen! Also loved the narration and information given, truly wonderful. Please do more of these with other sites!!
a more accurate view is on youtube called ancient athens 3D... I'm from greece and studied this most my life. lastly on your studies, most sources on ancient greece with western historians are tainted and untrustworthy. the ancient authors are the most credible because they didn't have an agenda except truth

❤l am from ATHENS GREECE PROUD OF OUR HISTORY EXCELLENT 💯 VID.CLIP,...tha we dont even have DONE,!! THANKS TO ALL THE HELLINIZON PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD 🌎🌍 THANKS 🙏
Thank you so much for bringing the Acropolis back to it's rightful glory, with your marvelous recreation! So visually stunning, like watching something from Heaven itself! Long live Athena Parthenos!
What a truly GRANDİOSE recreation of the main sights at the Acropolis. Moving and truly inspiring of you to contribute to the trend of representing ancient statues' and general decorations with colour and ornaments...İ am so overwhelmedly speechless... As someone having studied the ancient classical athenian dialect extensively and having gone through every extant or reasonably extant piece of classical and pre-classical literature, seeing outstandingly well-done works like these, İ feel as if it were ever more feasible the bringing about of a second Worldwide Renaissance...
I guess climbing up all those steps would've been a herculean feat in itself!. Nice look back into time there...I bet the Ancient Greeks were proud of what they had done and created...the scenery reminds me a little of Edinburgh and the Castle overlooking Scotland's capital...
Thanks for taking us on this time journey---it was wonderful & very well done---I'd have loved even more info about how the acropolis was used, ceremonies, rituals---and who cleaned up that flower mess, LOL! But the visual re-creation is stunning & I'll be back for more!
Fantastic video! If any of you are able to, you HAVE to go see the full size replica of the Parthenon in Nashville TN, complete with a 42ft statue of Athena inside. I just went for the first time last winter, having lived only 3 hours away my entire life. Absolutely brilliant!
This is great! I always envisioned the giant outside statue of Athenia of being this large. Thank you! One "improvement" I would like to see is the statue of Athenia INSIDE the Parthenon, being lit by "real fire flames". The constant flickering of the flames, reflected on the gold and ivory statue, would make the statue of Athenia to appear to move, to breathe, to be a living image of a living god! And a final question: why do some reconstructions of the Acropolis show a straight staircase climbing up to the top, while others show a giant staircase, zig-zagging up the face of the Acropolis?
Thank you very much! The staircase to the ancient Acropolis in Athens is a straight staircase. It was built during the classical period of the 5th century BC and led in a straight line to the Propylaea, which served as the main entrance and perspective portal to Athena. Depictions showing an angled form are based on later modifications during Roman times or are free interpretations. 😉
Thank you for making such a great video for my city. Although Acropolis IS great content... the Long Walls of Athens, the Port of Pireaus and the Faleron Bay where all the Triremes were beached, has never been properly depicted in a 3D render, game or movie. We'd be honored if you could to these as well.
They have been depicted and were depicted in assassins creed oddesey which is where the creator lifted these from. Its literally just copied game footage. You can search up assassins creed odyssey parthenon for yourself.
Incredible recreation. I was fortunate to see the acropolis and other sites, my senior year of high school, thanks to the student exchange program. Even as ruins these ancient sites are beautiful and overwhelming. What must it have been like to see them in full glory as you have depicted?
There is a difference between your channel and other reconstruction channel. Because others are 100% or maybe reconstructed it but never make it realistic. They make it like from a video game or a movie or entertainment game. No buildings on earth is perfect no matter how magnificent they are. They have flaws like gradual decay, weather conditions and other reality things. But your channel is different light, voice, environment, everything resemble the reality. This is why I subscribe to your channel. Glad that I see a gem and a group of realistic creators.

Wolywood shots or marvel sence or dark film unchromatic or not, this is a grade jop fantastic view traveling back to the time Well done!! .. and by the way it's not for you negative people
I have been at the Acropolis, it wasnt really beautiful anymore ofcourse. But the fact that i walked the stones that the ancient Grieks walked was amazing. I am a real history nerd.
@@marvin_demon I felt very comfortable in Rome, the locals were friendly and of course the history. I stayed 200 metres from the forum. I went there every day for a week and just marvelled at the sight.
In the video, you forgot to mention the huge destruction the temple suffered from Lord Elgin who stole the marbles by detaching entire pieces from it to decorate the English museum. This is what happens when a country does not have civilization..it steals it from others. Send back the stolen marbles of Acropolis. They belong to Greece 🇬🇷 ❤
That would be impossible. The Orthodox church has a lot of power in Greece unfortunately. Remember, they wanted to demolish the Parthenon and build a cathedral in its place almost a century ago.
this is the only really well rendered and highly textured reconstruction of the acropolis ive seen so it already gets the 10/10 but i think the really big, semi circular, marble theater of Dionysus was a Hellenistic feature i THINK the classical greek period still used the wooden one
Fantastic 3D modeling! But what is all that stuff on the steps? Pebbles, trash? I understand you don't want it to looks unrealistically "perfect" - I found that "rubble" (or whatever it is) distracting... maybe consider toning it down in future animations?
This is lovely but I do have a small correction. those shields on the Parthenon were supposedly added after Alexander conquered Persia in around 334 BC.
The staircase leading to the Propylaia is not a massive straight construction as depicted here. I think this is incorrect. In reality it’s zigzagging up to the Propylaia, much more “organic” and interesting, especially if you picture the Panahinaia procession making its way up the hill.
Our Eurocentric history always portrays the Persians as the enemy but it would be very interesting to get a full take on their side of these stories. Their empire might have been even mightier than the Greeks'
The reconstruction is amazing! However, I would like to point out that there should be likewise more care and accuracy in pronouncing and stressing Greek words and names. It's not propyLAEa. It's proPYlaea. It's not aTHEna proMAchos. It's atheNA PROmachos. It's not aTHEna PARthenos. It's atheNA parTHEnos. *Also, most of the damage of the Parthenon happened during the Ottoman occupation but it was the doing of the Venetians...
Great video but a slight contention at the end; the Ottomans weren't "occupiers." If they were "occupiers," then the Romans were occupiers of Greece too. By the time of the last Ottoman-Venetian War (1714-1718), many Greeks were fleeing Venetian held parts of Greece to Ottoman held parts due to the oppression and decreasing living conditions of Venetian rule. The Ottomans welcomed the Greek migrants and the Venetians even had to start military patrols to stop Greeks from fleeing. Pretty early on in the war, after the Ottomans took Nauplia, effectively the entire Greek population (the Maniots being the only exception) declared for the Ottomans and revolted against Venice. So there was clearly some level of consent to Ottoman rule, so its a bit odd to use the word "occupation" to describe Ottoman rule of Greece when we never use that for Roman rule. Source: Malliaris, Alexis (2007). "Population Exchange and Integration of Immigrant Communities in the Venetian Morea, 1687-1715". In Davies, Siriol; Davis, Jack L. (eds.). Between Venice and Istanbul: Colonial Landscapes in Early Modern Greece. American School of Classical Studies at Athens. PAGE 105-107
Now, now, you don't want to be raining on the modern Greece's creation myth, would you? No one wants to hear that everything they've been told about their heritage is a lie. Next thing you know you'll be pointing out that the Parthenon Freeze would have been destroyed by the Christian Greeks if Elgin hadn't bought them and taken them away (sadly, too late to save them from the damage that was done to them). Then where will we all be?!
Eternal glory to our formidable ancestors. Hellas 🔥🏛️🇬🇷
Fabulous reconstruction - it's so difficult to visualize what ancient sites looked like when you're oftentimes staring at a pile of weathered rubble.

Wasn’t a good ac game but a GREAT Ancient Greek game
@kaydenmetropoulos5551 Many fans agree that it isn't a true AC game since it takes place before the order was founded.
The problem is that it is with the origins of the templars put in place as well as major lore developments with the Isu but yes I agree the best way to play the game is to not think of it as a true ac game

It's a very nice video, but why is there trash or rubble all over the ground?

Are they flowers strewn everywhere? I feel it should be addressed
Only on the way of the procession that took place shortly before

The staircase has been reconstructed many to es over the course of history. It was originally as depicted in the video.
If only it wasn't for human Greed and incompetence we could be staring right at it.
Our Eurocentric history always portrays the Persians as the enemy but it would be very interesting to get a full take on their side of these stories. Their empire might have been even mightier than the Greeks'
I really enjoy the British accent. Subscribe for practicing my English.
was it deliberately strewn with rocks, litter and debris?
The reconstruction is amazing! However, I would like to point out that there should be likewise more care and accuracy in pronouncing and stressing Greek words and names.

*Also, most of the damage of the Parthenon happened during the Ottoman occupation but it was the doing of the Venetians...
Why stones and garbage everywhere?? Surely a sacred mount would be meticulously maintained?
These are petals that were scattered during a procession that took place shortly beforehand 😉
@@project-moment The petals don't quite work.

Great 3D modelling, but I am curious as to why the whole Acropolis has been subjected to the fallout from an explosion in a cotton wool factory.
