The most amazing things to me, and there are a LOT of amazing things about the Acropolis, are the retaining walls. They are huge, and have withstood thousands of years of earthquakes, even larger than the retaining walls of Delphi.

[@Hifive91]

Had no idea it sat so high up on a plateu. Never had seen a zoomed out image and it makes it more stunning

[@spiroslaskaris3075]

You must go and see it in person. My blood boils for my ancestors when I’m sat below it.

[@differentfins]

"Unexplained" is literally explained in another History Channel series: 'Engineering an Empire'... whatever gets the views I guess lol

[@gaiascradlek6215]

food for arquitects: considering a segment thats leveled horizontally with the ground,lets say the parthenon platform, both ends are suposed to be at he same level, but, leveled to what?, to the center of gravity of the Earth i may say. in such a case, if all points of the segment are at the same distance from Earth´s center of gravity, in fact they form a curve line, not a straight line. Now, if i want to put one column at both ends, and i want them to be vertically leveled, to Earth´s gravitational center, their upwards projection would distance them as i go higher. the result of this is a parallelogram, not a square, or a rectangule in this case, so if i wanted to manifest the geometrical perfection of what humans can achieved, i must make the columns incline inwards as they get higher.

[@aftabalam6348]

Marvels of engineering and magnificent building.

[@coppertropicals]

So, where in space do the columns come together and what is that geometry?

"The Manhattan of the 5th century BC?" So, it was the sewer and represented the worst mankind had to offer?

[@Rexpbass]

Yes!

[@calvinjackson8110]

Of course not. That's not what the man meant and you all know that!

[@OverlandOne]

@@calvinjackson8110 Umm, that's what he said. Are you claiming he lied? Or, are you claiming he was joking or something? Have you ever even been to Manhattan? If you have, then you know we are correct. If not, then you have no basis upon which to tell us we are wrong.

[@calvinjackson8110]

What I still find amazing is that the Parthenon, a temple built in part to honor a pagan goddess is still standing after some 2500 years and none of the previous jewish temples have not even ONE COLUMN that we can look at that lasted to this day. I find that curious and puzzling.

[@nealakuro5562]

I love these videos from William Shatner and his voice is so soothing

[@joelmosier125]

The Stars built the Parthenon. 1st Father/The Sun/A Star. On each side of the megalithic granite blocks joining each other you will see (T shape). T= Taoism/ Flow of the Universe. Erda/Erdan/ Eden; the entire planet is Eden. 1st Mother.

[@cathode6252]

Actually the Earth is in a fallen state. As are we humans.

[@denniscleary7580]

Built to commemorate their great victory against the Persians, The statue of Athena must’ve been absolutely beautiful

[@tlst94]

Imagine if this temple was instead built on the highest snowpeak in Hokkaido, Japan's mountain range. And if a llama God stuck in golden fence was summoned with a weird purple flute(with noises of the latin-lettered accurate angels).

[@marshaammons8008]

What a beautiful picture of a real estate of a temple of God's of the Greek's and I am so proud to have seen this one before in a picture from my family and friends who I have known for years.

[@bubbercakes528]

I never knew there were walls within the columns. I always wondered why it was called a “building.”

[@snowmoon7385]

Parthenon are amazing buildings...deja vu.

[@HRH.SinclairDeVer]

Why can things like this not be restored to there former glory

[@donnanoble5416]

Money

[@calvinjackson8110]

Also esthetics and realism, even if money is no hindrance. Would it be realistic for the Parthenon to appear today EXACTLY as it was the day they finished it? We know the answer to that is NO. On the other hand it is not desirable to see it look like a pile of rubbish with broken stones lying all around. There are other greek temples which look in far better condition than the Parthenon and that have their roofs!

[@UjjwalKumar-pj3yz]

They should revive the Temple and rituals to bring back the golden alein race of Gods and reconnect with them.
