This is a superb video, the enthusiasm of the speakers and the informative, but not too dry descriptions of the architecture make it a delight to listen to and the illustrative tour is very smooth and flowing - I wish all architectural 'tours' could be done this way! Great job! I had not heard of it until now but it strikes me as more interesting than the 'main attraction'! It would be wonderful to see an artist's reconstruction of the Erechtheion with all the glass and gold you describe! I feel like Athena would really appreciate this house for an older and arguably much more important statue.

I can't decide if "architrave" or "anthemion" is my new favorite word, but they're both very cool. This is the most we've zoomed-in on the capitals and I wish a bit more time had been spent on them. Apparently egg-and-dart (also cool) symbolizes life and death? What exactly is the abacus in this context? Gone too soon.

Persepolis (Persia) was invaded way many times more than Greece... By Hellenes, by Byzantines,by Arabs ... And the current modern day country of Iran is a Islamic republic, which I think contributes in them not taking much care of their Zoroastrian monuments.
