Impressive building.

[@AndysJourneys]

It's worth going to. It's most impressive

[@Uncivilize]

Wow. Thanks for showing this. Ancient cultures are fascinating.

[@AndysJourneys]

It was cool that they built this for the Centennial celebration

[@chattjedi]

When i lived in Nashville, i enjoyed visiting that place.

[@AndysJourneys]

It's a pretty awesome place. I wish I could have stayed longer

[@AmericanExplorer]

My parents and I used to go to the park there about 1962-3. We would fly kites my father made from stickweed and grocery bag paper. We went there many times and I always loved it. We would always take time to see the building while we were there. It's great to see it again, thanks for sharing. Thanks for the tour inside too! That is truly awesome!

[@AndysJourneys]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching. :)

[@staffanlindstrom576]

Amazing.

[@AndysJourneys]

Interesting what day is done I wish I could have seen it when the whole area was for the celebration

[@mcmneverreadsreplys7318]

I visited with my kids summer of '96. At that time it was (mostly) all white and they were working on adding the original color. It's nice to see the finished product. I hope someday I get to visit it again. In some ways (at this point in time - on a sight by sight comparison only) I think this might actually be a better visit than the original in Athens would be. At least, if you're anywhere near the Nashville area and are planning a trip to the real Parthenon, you should plan a Nashville Parthenon visit right before or after.

[@AndysJourneys]

Absolutely. It was worth the ticket to check this place out.

[@duggar11]

Nice video. I regret going there when I last went through Nashville.

[@AndysJourneys]

If you ever get a chance to it is well worth a visit. Even having to pay for a ticket is still worth it just to see the inside

[@gordonmcintosh2655]

The first time I went there it was nasty and full of pigeons. A few years later it was cleaned up and beautiful.

[@AndysJourneys]

I know that it wasn't taken care of for a long time I'm just glad that the group was able to get it fully restored

[@heru-deshet359]

Never knew about this place.

[@AndysJourneys]

As cool as this is I can not imagine the whole Exposition. Had to be mind blowing

[@heru-deshet359]

@@AndysJourneys You should see what the Chicago Exposition looked like. Every exposition before 1939 in the U.S. was exquiste.

@@heru-deshet359 I bet. It would be amazing if those kind of things happened again

I live in Athens and it’s weird for me to see this nice job 😋❤️

[@AndysJourneys]

Thanks they did a good job back in the day making a replica

[@HappinessandSweetTea]

I had no idea this existed. This is very grand! Amazing.

[@carboncloak1949]

Nashville, Tn. is known as "the Athens of the South".

[@AndysJourneys]

There is so much to see there

[@customscreenprinting]

Thanks Andy for this wonderful enjoyable video about the Nashville Parthenon it was really interesting and I really enjoyed it so very much Andy and I can't wait to see your next video and God Bless you my friend and thanks again.

[@stevesanders3992]

The partheon building is going to be destroyed by a metiorite soon, get out of Nashville.

[@helgabullabong]

Visited this many years ago. Did not realise you could go inside!! Thanks for the tour.

[@AndysJourneys]

You are welcome. I'm glad that they finished it. I went years ago and it wasn't finished yet. :)

[@ghettomist1575]

I assume it isn’t marble based on the color of it. Looks cool though, would love to see it.

[@AndysJourneys]

Yeah I am not sure what it is

[@paulb562]

How old. Is this really , much older and the antiquities that once surrounding the Parthenon. ,

[@AndysJourneys]

It was built for Tennessee's 1897 Centennial Exposition. The original one is much older

[@musclecarappraisal]

Thanks for the tour..I have never been there..thanks✌😎

[@AndysJourneys]

You are welcome. If you ever get a chance to when you are in Nashville it's worth a visit

[@JimmyTheGreek2000]

If Nashiville can build such a Parthenon, Athens should be able to re-build the REAL PARTHENON.

[@JJ12-12]

Yea its definitely not a easy job even with all the modern technology we have thid might as well take like two centuries or so not to mention all the money it would cost the goverment to restore this historical building

[@AndysJourneys]

One of the reasons why it's taking longer and they won't rebuild is they are doing major archeology at the same time. They are also only replacing parts that would cause the rest of the structure to collapse

[@liamsmith6102]

Imagine if the United States was the only country that didn’t have neo classical architecture from an ancient world. All other continents do, but not us? As one who’s studies architecture, this level of detail is not possible for horse and cart civilization of the new United States and eastern expansion in the 1800s. Where are construction photos of the ground breaking? The first columns? Don’t believe the USA is somehow separate from the whole world. Check out Jon Levi. The worlds fairs and expositions were simply a display of the old world before many structures were destroyed. This is lucky and incredible to remain. The sheer scale of architecture fully concludes the builders were of a larger size as well. Who makes copper doors that large? Bigger humans :)

[@JimmyTheGreek2000]

@@liamsmith6102 Washington DC is full of Neo-classical Architecture, the Lincon Memorial, The Jefferson Memrial, The US Congress - Capitol Building etc.

[@randalbuhler9042]

Finding parts to rebuild a real Parthenon is not an easy task because of the type of marble used, and the devastation of the buildings themselves, though they are trying to repair them. It is a long process one must consider because modern equivalent does not always fit the situations for the technology at the time does not equate our technology, you can't just slap new jigsaw pieces on an antique puzzle🤔😳‼️

[@JJ12-12]

Wonder if they will rebuild a roman temple idk like the temple of jupiter maximus?

[@AndysJourneys]

I wish they would but no one does stuff like this anymore. Thanks for coming by

Been there back in the early 60's. Looks much more impressive now. Great place for a picnic lunch to visit. Then plan on staying the rest of the day taking in all the granduer. Thanks for sharing. Any news on Ruby Falls update? Are they in a holding pattern till spring?

[@AndysJourneys]

I am glad they finally got to finish it. It looks amazing now. Thank you for watching

Thank you.

[@burningsandsexploration3711]

Really interesting. I didnt know this building existed in Tennessee. I am in Nevada so I dont get to see these buildings. Thank you for sharing!

[@AndysJourneys]

You are welcome they built this and several other buildings for the 1897 centennial. However it wasn't fully completed until the 1980s. They thought they were going to take it down after the exhibition but people loved it too much

[@myecolife4333]

built by giant for Giants... at least built by big people for big people that were bigger than us... And if you look at those metal doors, you can see a color difference up high most likely where the doors were pushed open regularly by people's hands much taller than us.... it kind of looks like oily smudge marks from people's hands

[@BebaPlace]

You've come to a very interesting place

[@AndysJourneys]

For sure. It's amazing that they built this place.

[@FairyFrequency]

Good morning Andy! Awesome share. Just had to reset your notifications bell. All fixed up. Hope to see you soon. Wishing you an amazing week x)

[@AndysJourneys]

Thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@Lurker1979]

Neat.

[@heru-deshet359]

If this can be built here there is no reason the real Parthenon can't be restored in Greece.

[@AndysJourneys]

I think they have been slowly fixing but they take longer due to the major archeology they are doing too

[@heru-deshet359]

@@AndysJourneys I will look that up. :)

[@ameleni]

For some Greeks leaving it the way it is, isn't a bad idea. The basic structure is there. Standing there for 2 500 years ..high above the city of Athens. The "sacred hill" or Acropolis is visible from most parts of the city. And also why interfere with the monument? There are mysteries as to how the ancient Greeks built it. For us its gonna loose its magic . It will no longer be what it used to be.

[@ameleni]
