The parthenon also once served as storage for gunpowder, but during this time there was an oopsie-daisy and that is why the roof is missing, not old age.

There is a full scale replica of the parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee.

You forgot to mention that it was also used by the Turks as an ammo dump and that’s when the roof was blown off

We have similar structures here in the Philippines. The National museum and the Post Office looks like the Parthenon and those buildings were built by the Americans. I love classical architecture.

They say of the acropolis where the Parthenon is

You always give us good and interesting places and facts! Have a blast my friend!! 💕💞💕

I believe many Federal buildings in the US have facades that are designed after Roman architecture and not Greece. However, it is the Roman's got their architecture from Greece originally, but made changes. Not all columns are the same. Sure they are fluted, yet there are subtle differences between Doric and Corinthian columns. Especially the capitals above each column. The differences between their frieze are also different and more like Roman architecture which used the Corinthian style.

Wow, at what time did you get there? Looks awesome I was there 3 weeks ago. It opens at 8, we got there by 8:50 and the ‘skip the line’-line was huge (but quick). Had about triple the people I see on your video. But not as crowded as around 11:00. Its insane at that point. Luckily that’s when we explored the theater and other structures on the mountain

They say of the Acropolis, where the Parthenon is...

It had rich history man

You also forgot to mention that it once had a roof. But somewhere in the past few hundred years some invading army decided to store ammunition inside of it. And that ammunition ended up blowing up and causing enough damage to leave it looking the way it does today, without a roof😮

why doesnt anyone get that everything gets destroyed and reset! why is it nobody figured out what happened to every civilization and why? and start preparing for the next one?!!!

Thanks Turkey for blowing it up 😐

Amazing

The nation of the Iroquois also had a democratic system but they didn’t learn it from the Greeks. Democracy can be independently developed by various groups of people I’ve the ages just like mathematics.

Question, why was Parthenon built?

จะทำยังไงให้หมด เมิส

The first Democracy in Athens only lasted 186 years

How much entry fee sir?

You can fact check me on this but I saw somewhere that the lines are actually straight and it isn’t an optical illusion.

The city where democracy was born huh? Looks about right..

Got to love engineering. The pyramids have the same technique

Wrong, total wrong. The Rig Veda(1500BCE) is the first such treatise, which gives us a basic idea of democracy, named it Samajnana or Samjnana. (Samaj= people; Anana= being acknowledge). The King elected or acknowledge by people. Buddha’s father was a democratically elected king at nearly 700BCE. Parthenon, Athens and Greek are not pioneer of concept Democracy. Democracy had been practicing in India way before the Europe got civilized.

Nobody gonna say that their whole too marbles are at the British Museum? Look it up

It wasn’t so much of a temple, more of a central bank housing all the treasury for a common army and obviously other things like art, and for building stuff😂

“Where democracy was born” maybe people should think why all these “great civilians fell into ruin

Why are some Americans so against democracy? It has a rich history.

Fix the grammar of the title bro

Why are the recreations of painted statues always so ugly? Isn't it kind of insulting to imagine that these guys could carve all of these intricate details, but if they painted the eyes, they're just going to use pure white?

B.C.E. *

And also a dump. 💂‍♂️🇬🇧

You forgot to say why the Parthenon looks "unassembled". Because they were stolen from the British State in 1800 and until today they are placed in the British Museum and they make millions of money from the stolen sculptures that the museum says are legal. Until today, Greece is asking for the sculptures back and specifically yesterday the Prime Minister of Greece was in England, he had a meeting with the Prime Minister of England regarding the sculptures and the Prime Minister of England canceled the meeting at the last moment.

Not through time but because Rome turkey and other thieves
