the Parthenon is not a plant that it "withered"

Britain refuses to return anything bro, even artifacts from Ancient Egypt. Egypt has been asking for it back but yet they refuse

@@samtheclam7869 yeah, they just make up arguments. like the treasures from the summer palace they destroyed and looted in china.

as a Brit, I am very ashamed of this :(

*_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_*

There are some stunning remains in Sicily as well!

@@MadKingOfMadaya Rubbish. As for modern 'historians' = woke clowns

I'm pretty sure there were many other civilization that built structures before the Greece. Where do you think Greece got inspiration for their colums? The Egyptians, etc.

Δῐῑπετής Αθηνά = Diipetes Athena =myth says that the wooden statue flew on the Acropolis from god DIAS her father.This statue was preserved at Erechtheion ,near by Parthenon.

Well, not exactly. The Acropolis has been built 3 times. The one we have today is the third, around 500 B.C.

@@user-pl4ee8ip2h but still, Athens existed since Mycenean times that is not false. But under this acropolis is probably the previous one.

Robert On the Surface/Hearing it for the first time: Yes, but the more you listen to both accents, the more you realize that there are some differences. I love spanish and greek language.

I have noticed it too, years ago.

Yes we had a Greek math teacher and I always thought she was South American or Spanish by her accent until I asked her and she told me she was Greek

Greek and European Spanish have a very similar set of sounds haha When I was growing up in Athens, I'd often catch snippets of conversation between Spanish tourists and it would take me a second to realise I couldn't actually understand them because they weren't speaking Greek :')

Not really.I love spanish , and it does have similarities to Greek , but no. We Greeks have a completely different intonation when speaking English...

If I were to go about the information in this video... yes, aliens seem like the most logical explanation.

Aliens is the easiest explanation / Truth is hidden from all these propaganda bastards / i have in my hands a very old book with all these methods of transportation / cutting the marbles / lift them with special cranes / i will try to scan the book and create a video

Why the focus on UK? The whole world has piece of Greece, what is it specifically about the marbles that's enthused you?

@@Headoffury Because they are votives, part of the Parthenon, that's why

@@Headoffury Have you thought much of what you've written? They are part of an ancient temple. Not an individual statue for example.

Yes it was my thought processes that allowed me to lose my question

@@Headoffury The Parthenon marbles are butchered from the monument which is the greatest symbol of ancient Greece. The symbol is butchered. after all half of the statue complex was butchered and half stayed and it doesn't make sense in parts it is a total scene depicting the war of gods and titans (the surrounding complex, as for the front and back statue complexes it is again scenes depicted) , with half the scene in England and half in Athens it is doesn't even make any sense as it is. And after all it doesn't make any sense when butchered from the building. Even if it cannot know be placed back on the building anymore, at least the statue complex completed again can be placed next to the Parthenon, observing the building, and after an hour or two hours the complete scenes. And after all it is stolen there was never permission from the Ottomans.Also was butchered and very badly treated and cut by Elgin. It has nothing to do with London anyway, London didn't even exist when it was built in Athens.

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.

@@seatleon7368 You seem like one of those low IQ folk. The parthenon is far from a 'false' ancient 'building' you troll. Greeks pioneered this type of architecture and it is still being replicated millenias later.

Because most people aren’t interesting in learning anymore. It’s not fun or exciting. 😡

@@seatleon7368 your comment is clearly idiotic

@@seatleon7368 You lack basic knowledge of mainly history and science. Study, for the sake of God.

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. Even if they are returned, they will go to the museum. Here is the explosion story: www.historytoday.com/archive/months-past/parthenon-blown

@@AALavdas You are indeed correct regarding the explosion but would it not be better to put them back on the Parthenon? Little point in taking them out of one museum to put them in another, albeit a much nearer one as the argument for their return would be much stronger then.

With time, the white newer patches of marble you see in the columns of the Parthenon should age and look similar to the clay colour.

Phidias used thousands of persons to complete the project. The current restoration is taking a lot longer as I think there are only a few people involved in the project.

They are using the existing pieces found on the ground, not just making new from scratch like the original project. . 100,000 pieces and each one only fits a certain spot. It's a huge puzzle to put back together.

I'm watching it right now on the Science Channel. I came here to watch it without the commercials interrupting every freaking 3 minutes, but all I can find is this 8 minute video.

How high

They are leaving it as a ruin. They're just making it more sound to offset the deterioration of what is left.

No, it is in much better condition now compared to how it was one century ago. Just see the paintings of artists who visited Greece in the 19th century. The Parthenon was essentially reassembled, as most of its pieces were all over the place
