[@bentonrp]

@@calvinjackson8110 No, I do feel the same way, or at least I used to. Now, I'm more just happy with what we have, considering how long ago it was. I was bringing up the age to make a sort of joke of it: It's all I can do, because I honestly thing that that dream of having it back the exact same way is not possible, unless it's an exact recreation of stone, plaster, paint, gold, ivory, etc. because some of that stuff warps and deteriorates over time, and two thousand years is just an extremely long time, you know?

It's just so satisfying seeing the level of accuracy on the placement of the sculptures, which is often overlooked when it comes to reconstructions of the Parthenon. Exceptional, a joy watching every second of it.

Absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!! I studied architecture in Greece and Turkey in 2002 on a study abroad trip with Texas A & M. Watching this video really brings forth the beauty, magnitude, perspective and showcases the extraordinary talent that it took to design and build this majestic temple!

@@AncientAthens3D I just have to ask, is it possible to this kind of animation and for Hagia Sophia for example? Whether is there enough information, pictures, and everything else? I would like so so much to see, that church in original shape. Once again, every single video on your channel is pure gold, you are doing an amazing job! Greetings from Serbia :)

[@AncientAthens3D]

Thank you! In order to create a 3D reconstruction it takes a huge amount of effort so as to have a historically accurate result. Since Ancient Athens 3D mainly focuses in the city of Athens, unfortunately Hagia Sophia is not in the near future plans, although I would agree it would be most interesting. There are many things known for the monument which allow reconstructions in many different historical phases. I think that you can probably find a few reconstructions if you search on the internet.

[@mudman6156]

If there’s a building that represents mankind’s abilities, this is it. Personally, I think it’s the most important structure ever built, PERIOD. I’m glad to see much of the restoration that’s currently being done. But it’s not going to go nearly as far as it should. This is one of several historic ancient buildings that should be COMPLETELY RESTORED, obviously with as much of the original materials as possible. Additional materials should be quarried from the same locations as the original. By restoration, I mean FULL RESTORATION, ROOF AND ALL. We need to ensure that this priceless building will last thousands of years into the distant future. If we don’t do something, eventually, 500-1000 years into the future, our distant descendants will be looking at a pile of rubble. That would be a huge travesty to humanity itself. As for those who want these structures to be left alone? For what purpose? So they can continue to deteriorate into dust? That would be history lost when it didn’t have to be. In the distant future, today’s reconstruction would become part of the Parthenon’s history.

The Parthenon is so well proportioned that you don’t realise how huge it is. You start going up… and up… and up… until you actually stand on its steps and just can’t take it in. Then you stop and wonder how they could possibly accomplish such an engineering feat. The only other time I experienced something like this was the first time I visited St. Peter’s Square in Rome and started walking towards the Basilica.

[@vanbarnes9664]

You can visit Centennial Park in Nashville, Tennessee and see an exact replica of the Parthenon. It is identical and was built before the destruction of the Parthenon in the Greek war of independence.

[@kostaskavaliotis8974]

Not the same. The original Parthenon has a slight curve everywhere you look, it doesn’t have a single straight line, making each part unique because it can’t be placed anywhere else. It also gives the illusion that the temple levitates from up close, that’s why it’s magnificent, god like I should say. And because of it’s uniqueness it’s extremely hard to restore it. The one in Nashville is a good copy but it will never have the same analogies and curves the original has.

More like LIBERATED by Elgin. (The Acropolis was an Ottoman fort; the Parthenon having been seriously damaged when the Turks turned it into a powder magazine which got hit by a Venetian cannon shell.) ....And the Greeks complain about having to repay their debts as well!
