The Acropolis of Athens Explained with Reconstructions

[@ManuelBravo]

What's your favorite Ancient Greek building?

[@hape3862]

My favorite building is the Temple of Aphaia on the island of Aigina.

[@rdalexanderpm]

El Altar de Zeus en Pèrgamo

[@lilpenny1982]

The smaller Parthenon below the hill which is in tact.

[@arelendil7]

@@lilpenny1982 Do you mean the temple to Hephaestus in the Agora? My favorite is the Erechtheion, because of the legend, the different temples and the Caryatids, but the temple to Hephaisteion is small but impressive for its story, it is fading away though… I wish someone will protect it in some way. It gives me that nineteenth century romantic feelings. The temple of Zeus must have been absolutely magnificent. It is a pity things have been stolen, it would be great if they could restore those buildings at least partially. The UK could make perfect marble copies and return the originals to Athens. They have the techniques and the money to do it and people has other reasons to visit the British Museum and London.

[@revianto1]

Agora, with all sense of freedom

[@RPull]

I visited the Acropolis twice in my lifetime. In each instance, I was overwhelmed. My first visit was in 1974 and was of a short duration. Happily, I spent six months in Athens in 1976 and walked up those steps and around those buildings many dozens of times. At nights, I would sit in the Plaka with a glass of retsina or ouzo and look at the lighted Parthenon. Athens is magic. I easily felt at home there, as if, in centuries past, it had been my home.

The Parthenon was erected after the victory over the Persians to honor those who fought for freedom. Its frieze depicts 192 men, they were the men who fell in the battle of Marathon. It is the first monument in the whole world to honor simple, ordinary men. Parthenon is the symbol of democracy.

[@LoBodomy666]

Thank you, Manuel, for honoring the monuments of our home city. Your explanations and details are amazing. Greeks didn't made this monument for Greeks, but for the world. It is as world's heritage, and must being seen this way. Every aspect of the monument is perfect, and this is why perfection is something every one of us, every person and nation can follow, and overcome. The thinking was for the later generations to make better Parthenons, in the world, but also in their individual lives. I wish you personally all the best.

[@watson249]

My first time in Athens was February 1979 - terrible traffic but no scaffolding then on the temple and the original Caryatids and remaining sculptures were in place , all thankfully now protected in the museums, plus a few friendly cats and the site was uncrowded - I was fortunate to have a professional guide who was wonderful - and your video explains the site exceptionally well! Have since returned to Athens at least 5 or 6 times and every time it’s as magical as the first. My spiritual home and can’t wait to return later this year and hopefully many more times in the future. Also your Delphi video was fantastic - it’s an amazing place too and not to be missed. Thank you so much!

[@guerreiro943]

Honestly, same. I realize this be a unpopular opinion, but I think those ancient sites would be much more beautiful as fully restored pieces of architecture rather than glorified ruins, as they are now.

[@HipposHateWater]

@@guerreiro943 The problem with that is that we will never fully know what they originally looked like ("the devil's in the details" and all that), plus these sites have acquired loads of history since their initial construction. You'd basically be obliterating any meaningful remaining traces of history that the site has acquired over the years in an attempt to erect a heavily flawed shadow. Better to just erect a separate reconstruction elsewhere while preserving the original with all eras of it's history intact as best as you can, and have the best of both worlds that way.

[@johnlasky3625]

Re: Octastyle vs Hexastyle. I was taught in art history that Greek temples had six columns at the entrance because six was the number of objects a human could recognize in a glance. Any more, and a human would have to count them. Gods, on the other hand, could perceive larger quantities at a glance, so the Parthenon, a temple of a God, exhibited this by having eight columns.

[@jontalbot1]

As a Brit l think the return of the frieze (Elgin Marbles) is long overdue. One point to add to the very good content: there is a massive contrast between Greek aesthetic sense, as represented by entasis and construction technology. The former is the most sophisticated any architecture will ever achieved. The corrections for the distortion of the eye enable the achievement of the ideal (a Greek concept) which is why the Parthenon looks ‘right’ when viewed from below, as was intended. But the construction method, post and lintel, is the simplest of all enclosed spaces. It did not matter for Greeks since the temples were like sculptures- mainly meant to be viewed from outside

Manuel, I am overwhelmed with respect and awe by the reverence, cultural and philosophical background of the architects and planners, mathematical knowledge, and execution of the Acropolis. Through your thoroughly realized video arising from great research, photography, and tastefully and precisely utilized CGI, I am sitting in stunned amazement not only of this astounding and beautiful Greek accomplishment and window into Athens of 2400 years ago but in the learning of the previously unknown to me existence of a detailed replica of the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee. Mind blown! I simultaneously felt a simmering anger upon learning of how the so-called Elgin marbles of the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Temple of Athena, and the Propylaia sit in the British Museum having been looted "removed" in 1801-1812 by Thomas Bruce and shipped to England. I cannot comprehend how this holding by the British Museum can continue to be accepted as legitimate and legal by any governing body today. Congratulations on the execution of this concise, inspiring, educational, and beautifully executed video.

[@barbaracleverly9058]

They were not ‘looted’. Do some research!

[@veramae4098]

The Elgin Marbles were bought by the Brits from the Turks who had conquered Greece at that time. The Turks later filled the temple with ammo, figuring the Greeks would never blow it. They did. The Greeks fired mortars at the temple, and the ammo eexploded. If the Elgin marbles had not been removed, they would have been destroyed then. Although I agree, it's time and past time for the Brits to send them home. Retired librarian

[@kengruz669]

Oh, thank you, Britain, for coming to the rescue and then keeping the rescued gems as your own for eternity. Yes, they belong in your museum and not on the structure that they were originally with and on. No, that's not looting, any more than the legitimate purchase of Manhattan was not.

[@andrewwilliams3137]

Elgin shipped the Marbles to the UK 1802-1812 over a 10 year period. Difficult to believe that the local and central Ottoman government didn't know about it. There were no complaints raised at the time or in 1816 when they were sold to the British Museum. The Elgin Marbles were acquired by consent of the Ottoman authorities. By 1816 Athens had been part of the Ottoman Empire for 358 years ever since 1458, so many would say that they were the legitimate government at the time. "His actions were thoroughly investigated by a Parliamentary Select Committee in 1816 and found to be entirely legal, prior to the sculptures entering the collection of the British Museum by Act of Parliament," source: British Museum.

[@andrewwilliams3137]

@@veramae4098 The British Museum has an international collection. There were only 1.4 million visitors to the Acropolis Museum June 2016 to May 2017 (not including visitors to the Acropolis itself). In 2019 there were over 6 million to the British Museum, about a half from abroad

Like everyone else here, I love the way you have produced this video. The music, cinematic shots, still and in motion. All combined together to make for a very moving visual feast!. Then, add your insightful and knowledgeable commentary!. Just superb!. Just like your surname, Bravo!!!👏👏🎉 But, i am struck by one fact- this is all dedicated to one idea- man. And, the other design influence of the Acropolis' layout of sightlines. And the ONE sightline that is considered eternal and divine from the entry point is the view straight ahead viewing the natural world. The world that Jesus SPOKE into existence. (1 John 1:1-In the beginning was the Word. And the word was with God and the Word was God..." Jesus IS the Word. So, while i stand in amazement at humans can do, I reiterate what the apostle Paul said in the amphitheater in Ephesus--why worship the things made with mens hands. Why not worship HE who made mens hands. Because that which man has made will always crumble. Yet that "perfect" "divine" sightline is STILL looking at the mountains and sky HE created. Which will NEVER stop flourishing until HE says it will Stop. Interesting, huh?

This video was so dazzling, with its use of the actual Parthenon in Athens, its reconstruction in Nashville, Tennessee, and the computer graphic recreations. I liked especially how you explained how the Greeks, unlike the Romans who aligned their buildings and monuments along rectilinear axes, designed the Acropolis in terms of shifting lines of sight and changing scales so as to have visitors view the buildings from specific oblique angles in an unfolding panorama. It seems a lot more organic and, in a way, human-centered, whereas the Roman practice might be building-centered. I can’t imagine a better video on the Acropolis.
