The Day The Parthenon was Blown Up
This video tells the incredible saga of how the Parthenon withstood the test of time, enduring intact from ancient days all the way to 1687, when a tragic incident brought devastation, leaving behind only a ruin. Join us as we journey through the Parthenon’s remarkable history from Late Antiquity, across the Middle Ages, through the Renaissance, and into the early Modern Era.

Why is it that NO Greek Temple has a Roof anymore?
Просмотров 406 тыс.2 месяца назад
This video talks about the structural limitations of Greek temples, what their roofs were made out of, and the reasons why no Greek temple that has survived still has its original roof.

Early Christian History of The City of Ephesus
Просмотров 16 тыс.Год назад
Ephesus was an important city in early Christianity. It had originally been an important Greek city, and eventually got absorbed into the Roman Empire. The Romans made it the capital of their province of Asia, which turned it into a world class metropolitan center, a large population center bustling with trade and commerce. Being such a large city meant that Christianity naturally spread quickl...

    Why don't they build a completely new temple - based upon some of the greatest to exist and establish it in its full glory like it would have been many moons ago. Would be great to visit and see it compared to the ones crippled by time.

    No way the Athena's ststue survived if Heruli set fire fire to the building. Most people fled or were murdered. Probably som small roof was built to protect the statue. No resources available until Iulian the Great, Iulian, not Constantine funded that partial reconstruction.

    Throughout human history, building has always been an expensive undertaking, and if a building was damaged by fire, or war, or some other catastrophe… it was rebuilt and used again. I have had the opportunity to stand on the Acropolis, see the pathetic remains, the microscopic and slow restoration or conservation of what remains of the building, and hear people still lamenting the catastrophe four centuries later. It is only in the present day with archaeologists and their theory of respecting and preserving ruins that we find ‘corpses’ of Parthenons, Colosseums, temples and palaces all over the world. When the original roof was lost after 700 years due to a fire, what did the Greeks do? Begin to mourn the loss of such a magnificent temple and start ‘conserving’ the ruins? No, they rebuilt it and continued to use it for many more centuries! I am of the opinion that, just like our ancestors did, we should rebuild all those beautiful buildings (Parthenon, Coliseum, etc, etc) and put them back into use. For those who want to see and admire the grandeur of the Parthenon, just go to Bavaria, near Donaustauf and visit Valhalla, which is a perfect replica of the Greek temple… but intact.

    • @Street-Gems
      @Street-Gems 5 часов назад

      I agree on building modern models like the one in Bavaria or Nashville, but not the ancient ruin itself, which is basically un-restorable at this point, and should be left to admire for what it is.

    I have my own theory. The people using the facilities did want God (I guess in their theology Gods) to be able to look down on them from the heavens (might have been holes in the floor too I suppose). This is why the old Dallas Cowboys stadium had a hole in the roof too.

A few years back I was studying arts and in this history of restauration class, which I loved, we learned that someone had taken a bunch of the tiles of the roof off the partenon and tried taking them back to venice but dropped them off by accident on a cliff, can't find any references for it, anyone knows if this is the right fact or I'm getting confused? also, adding to the video, I remember a case which I think was something like 300bc, a greek king was attacking some other's king city and when he learned that certain art thing was in the city he desisted from the siege just to keep it, also, can't remember the name of it but reminded me when he said the venetian guy blew it up knowing what it was regardless

      I think you are referring to the story I mentioned. It was Morosini who removed some statues from the pediment of the Parthenon (after he blew it up), and they dropped the statues to the ground. I don't know the 2nd anecdote of the Greek king.

Now living in Canada I feel like a slave that we have to work a lifetime to be able to retire at 65 . We learned nothing in 2000 years .
