@@VolkanYuksel I’ve always wanted to visit. I’ve read about it over the past couple of years but this video was the first video I’ve seen with it up close. I put it up on the big screen and showed my dad and he was absolutely amazed and didn’t know it existed. He has a house on Beech Mountain, North Carolina. We intend on making a trip to see it next time we go up there for vacation. I’m super excited. Also, we aren’t too far apart! I’m in central Florida.

Originally Built in 1897 and intended to be temporary for Centennial celebration. It was torn down 1920 and built again from 1925 until 1931 from more permanent materials. I went many time during the time that the sculptor was making Athena. The artist for Athena was Alan LeQuire and was built in the late 1980s and finally completed in 1990. Alan , besides being a great artist was very kind in answering dozens of my questions as I visited often during his work on-site. Nike who is held in Athena’s open hand is 6 feet tall…. Life size human. Which gives a sense of scale to this monumental work.
Hello Gary Overman, thank you very much for your very informative message 🙏 Glad you had such close experiences during the making of this masterpiece. Best wishes from Florida 🌴🌊🌞🐬🌿
@@VolkanYuksel Thank you for a great video that brought back good memories. I live close to Jack Daniel’s Distillery but Nashville was special due to the art and music scene. I minored in art and so Nashville was my weekend escape :-) Later, as a dad of 2 girls, I often carried them to the park. They loved to feed the swans, geese, and ducks . Thanks for posting your experience and showcasing this gem of the south. So many will roam the bars of downtown and leave without even knowing about Athena and the Parthenon. But I’m betting that many who see your video will make a point of it and be richer for having done so.
Hello again Gary Overman, you're welcome 🙏😎 Thanks much to Google that brought this to my attention and allowed me to share it with the world. I am very happy that even many people of Greece experienced this live version of Parthenon and Athena from this video 😎 Actually I was one of those people who visited Nashville many times in the past and had no idea about this prior to Google brought to my attention. I am looking forward to revisit the area soon 🏦🗿💰🌴🚗 Thank you for your kind message and best wishes for the evening 🌴🌊🌛🐬🍀
In a lot of ways it's a more meaningful experience to visit this Parthenon than the one in Athens, Greece. This gives you a better representation of what the structure looked like during the time of the Greeks. The ruins in Athens are behind a lot of scaffolding.
Hello Erik Tryggestad, glad you appreciate the views of the Parthenon and the very well made goddesses sculptures of Athena and Nike. Perhaps eventually Greece government will duplicate this idea in close proximity of the actual Parthenon in Athens so that the citizens of the world can have an amazing and complete experience in one place. 🏆🗿🏦🇬🇷🌍 But I am very happy that I've discovered this totally not expected gift of people of Nashville to the world 🏆🗿🏦🇬🇷🇺🇸🌎🌍 Thank you for your message 🙏 and best wishes for the weekend 🌞🌅🌴⛱️🐠⛵🌱🐬
As a greek, i totally disagree. While impressive, this building cannot compare to the original Parthenon. It is a good copy but the architecture and material quality is just not the same. The original was made out of limestone and marble while the nashville copy is made out of bricks and cement. The greek parthenon has inspired a huge amount of modern and classic architecture. The us supreme court is an example of that. I believe that if you don't have the ability to travel to Athens but still want to experience the sophisticated ancient greek history, then the us copy is an amazing option. I am happy that our historic background is being shown in different parts of the world and especially in such a magnificent way. But the truth is that a copy of one of the icons of western civilization is just not enough to replace the original Acropolis experience.
Mind you, I have visited the Acropolis in Greece and it's absolutely amazing. I couldn't see much of the Pathenon itself due to the scaffolding, but there's nothing to compare with standing on Mars Hill and looking out over the city of Athens. Realizing how much history stems from that spot ... it's awe-inspiring. I'm looking forward to a time when I can travel there again!
Hello GOMOU, yes I believe so, some of the prior comments indicated that this replica of the Parthenon temple from Athens Greece and it's architectural features has been duplicated as accurately as possible during reconstruction with more permanent materials
From what I know it was first constructed as temporary exhibit. But People of Nashville loved is so much they stopped it from complete demolition and they demanded permanent version which is still standing today, also with perfectly and accurately built Athena and Nike goddesses sculptures with 24 carat gold cladding.
Hello Barbra Panser, it looks like the replica of the Athena Parthenos statue that was in the original Parthenon in Athens, completed back in 1990 which is about 10 years after your visit. Hope you'll have chance to visit there again soon to see this very spectacular update. Thank you for your message 🙏💮 Wishing all the best from South Florida 🌴🌎🌱🌬️🌊🌞🐬⛵🍀✨
Hello Ken Taylor, yes, most people that are not Greece origin, has limited knowledge of Athena and Nike goddesses. Luckily Athena and its derivatives are also a name for ladies in the Western world 👩 🌎 So, I think allot of ladies searching for the meaning of their name get to know more about Athena ☺ Cheers from Florida 🍀🐬🌴
Hello Emanuel Augusto, thank you for your message 😄 Yes, as far as I know all complete and incomplete sculptures are replicas of the originals from Greece🗿🏛Cheers from Florida😎🏝
Hello again Augusto, hope you visit this place someday 😄 The goddesses are coated with about 4kg of real ~24k gold leaf. Very spectacular 😨 Cheers to Argentina from Florida 😎🌴🍀🌱
Hello this evening my dearest Volkan. Oh wow...saying it mildly..yes. This video and “Athens of the South”...is extraordinary. I cannot believe this monument here. Excuse me for being a bit ignorant, but I never knew it was there. The “yellow”...the “Pagan Goddess”...to the “Gold”... it is so striking and catches your eye in every corner. I love the music and the cube action with your cameras...🎥 ...Throughout this complete video, I felt as if I was in Greece and not in this country for sure. Volkan, you did such a professional job on this piece. Your work is becoming very distinctly different and unique to the other. One of my dreams was always to go to Greece. This is a piece of Greece in TN. Amazing surprise. Thank you so much for sharing this one, especially. 🌹👱🏻♀️✨I don’t think anyone has posted this monument prior. I hope your week is a beautiful one and stays on your path of perfection and production my dear Volkan..Pleasant dreams to you and smiles🥰to you...✨🌈🖤💮🌤🎥🏛🔭🌤💮🖤🌈✨
Hello dear Christine 👩🍒💐, yes, I was very shocked to see this there as well 😄 Many years ago I was in Nashville and visited wild 🐎 to see some square 💃💃 But I need to go back for seeing the other great art made by the sculptor Alan LeQuire and discover some more marvels. For the editing, I was a bit rushing to share this totally not expected experience as quickly as possible 😂 like breaking news 😂. I thank you very much for your very supportive message. And I am glad you liked the Kevin MacLeod music as well. Wishing you a very pleasant evening as well🌇🌌✨🌃🌠🎶🌙⛲🕌⛄
Volkan Yuksel 😂🥰...I loved your message. Your videos are the highlight of my evenings..👱🏻♀️⚜️🌹...I think I will have to venture in the land of surprises in TN. I have driven through Nashville, in traveling....but did not know all this extraordinary art existed. Unbelievable. For rushing through this video, you surely did a fabulous job. It’s perfect and very detailed as you scoped it thoroughly passing on...Loved it! Cheers...🥂 🍻...ha...see you soon..I hope..😘
Το Άγαλμα της Αθηνάς Προμάχου - The statue of Athina Promachos, The homeric authors named her γλαυκῶπις - bright-eyed, later grey-eyed as an epithet. Finally the city is named η Αθήνα or οί Αθήναι in its plural (my greek teacher told me this may be why it is called Athens ending with an s in english) and η Αθηνά as the personal name stressing the final vowel here instead. Always with the definite article before the names / τα ονόματα in greek 💙
@@VolkanYuksel Thank you Volkan for posting this upload. Hopefully we greeks will see the stolen Parthenon marbles repatriated to where they came from one day from that den of iniquity the British Museum. But not anytime soon alas. Last month a UNESCO advisory board stated to the anglos that they must be returned to Hellas. It took the british government *one day* to reply to them that they obtained them "legally" and that they would remain (deteriorating) in that bastion of cultural theft and colonialsm. 💙
Hello Theodisc, you're welcome 🙏 Unfortunately undoing the deals of the past is not easy, like un-melting the gold of original Athena statue... But regardless, I also hope that the historic pieces would be returned to their original locations... I am very happy that I was able to bring this surprising existence of phenomenal Parthenon replica to the attention of the people of Greece. Thank you for your message and best wishes from South Florida 🌴😎🍀
Hi Classical Antiquarian, yes indeed. Hope you can visit this fascinating monument in person. Cheers from Florida and best wishes for the weekend 🌴🦜⛵🐬🍀
Hi Rich Storelee, glad you enjoyed this video. Not sure if there is a construction video of this amazing place. Hope you'd visit Parthenon in person someday. Best wishes from Florida 🌴 😎
Very good question Derrick McAdoo. From what I know, early Greek temples were for keeping the villagers wealth safe. Like banks of the past... Therefore my guess is that these giant monuments of art were there to help keeping the enemies of the village scared away. Hope some expert also would comment on this as well. Cheers
@@VolkanYuksel The precision and dedication to this model is crazy to me. Unless there is a local scene of Athena-worshipers? It's a lot of resources, and time? Or maybe it was made with surplus materials from local businesses with down time, and a similar interest? Historical Landmark Tax write-off for the state to provide jobs? So many questions, lol. EDIT: A friend showed me when I was in Nashville for college. I feel like, we walked out of some woods, from a trail or something, and came to this massive thing seemly out in the middle of nowhere. That was 16 years ago.
Well, I think love of the locals the made the temporary construction stay alive and made it keep getting better over time and eventually it evolved in to the fascinating level that it is today. I believe its is more like a art venue / museum today than an active place for faith related practices...Again, I hope some experts can help us and hope you'll have chance to visit it at minimum to stare at so much pure gold 😊🏆
Hello Ion Vasile, yes, it is very interesting that today's banks that hold the wealth of the communities are related to temples. Thank you for your message and best wishes for the weekend from Florida 🌴😎🍀
Ales 316, glad you'll have a chance to see this monumental art covered with real gold with your own eyes 🏛🗿🙏👀. Wishing you safe and enjoyable trip 😃🤞🍀🌞

Just wanted to say I remember when you did not have to pay to see what's in side there was a time when it was free, what happened 😢it's all about the tourists charge, it wasn't this way back in the 70s I've been in there 100 times so much for free, Danny Malliard
Hello @danmallard280, thank you for sharing your valuable insights about the Nashville's Parthenon from 1970s. I am guessing once they start charging visitors a fee, they may have created funds to pay for the maintenance and most importantly to pay artist Alan LeQuire for the incredible Athena monument and her almost pure gold extraordinary cladding. I think Nashville's Parthenon is more complete with this very impressive monumental piece of art inside. Cheers from South Florida 🌴😎🍀
Hi Johny Johny, her olive grey eyes looks more blueish due to white balance of the camera perhaps shifted to more bluish because of the crazy nice gold color 🌴🍀😎
Hello Tus sus adventures, I am almost certain that it is very delightful experience for anyone to visit the Parthenon and see the gold plated giant Greek Goddesses monument. Wishing safe and enjoyable travel from Florida 🌴🌞🍀
The face! We got six seconds of the face and everything else knees on down. Don't worry, the myth that you'll be consumed by fire if you look a godess in the face is not true!
Thanks much Ann Wood 😀 I'll remember this next time I visit the giant gold covered Athena Sculpture in The Parthenon of Nashville. I'll try to zoom in to the Nike and Athena goddesses for even more details. Perhaps they were good friends of Volkan 🌋🏦🗿🏆🎥 Cheers from Florida 🌴🌞
With all due respect.....the Statue of ... "SOFIA PARTHENAS"... herself ..(Wisdom)...is incorrectly depicted. It is in the "Post Kouros - Pre-Classical style...... austere and tensely poised ...totally inappropriate for the "Classical Golden Age of ELLAS". Phidias. the unsurpassed genius of monumental sculpture was the hero of "Hellenic Classicism" .....less stiff ...onto supreme postural perfection....referred to as... "CONTRAPOSTO" ...A total adherence toward Hellenic Naturalness of this New Age....a move toward ultimate graceful lines...more lifelike and pleasing. We ELLINES invented this hallmark in World History to a level unsurpassed to this day. Study the frieze that surrounds the inner wall, like a woven, silk ribbon, enveloping our magnificent structure cradling it to the path of Perfection...then close your eyes and dream of what ...ATHENA'.... must have looked like when my ancestors gazed upon Her for the very first time. "PERFECTION"...one our countless gifts WE have awarded Mankind !
I lived in Nashville in the late 1970s, and I’ve been inside the Parthenon. The Athena Parthenos statue wasn’t made at that time, much to my disappointment! The place looked rather empty without it. This looks great, though! Unfortunately, the goddess is rather square-jawed; I always pictured her prettier than that.
Yo tomo clases de inglés con la joven británica Jade Joddle. Su cara es para mí la cara que posiblemente tuvo Atenea. Sus ojos son bellísimos. Si la vistieran a la usanza griega sería la imagen perfecta para una escultura.
@@FreeOpenTruth i also enjoy it as a statue and an architectural masterpiece. I'm glad that God is going to take care of this one, I wonder why he didn't take care of the original, maybe he was distracted at the time?
Im greek actuality is bobamred from Venetian ship from sea during Turkish ottoman Venetian war the ottoman use the Parthenon to store gunpowder from wiki As part of the Morean War, the Venetians had landed on the Peloponnese peninsula (then known as "Morea") in southern Greece, and in a series of campaigns in 1685-1687 had managed to wrest it from the Ottoman forces holding it.[1][2] The Venetian position in the Morea was unsafe, however, as the Ottoman strongholds of Thebes and Negroponte (Chalkis) provided the Ottoman Empire with excellent bases for an invasion and reconquest of the peninsula.[3] As a result, the Venetian commanders, under Francesco Morosini, decided to expand their campaign into eastern Central Greece, with Athens as the first target. On 21 September 1687, Königsmarck's army, 10,750 men strong, landed at Eleusis, while the Venetian fleet entered Piraeus. The Turks quickly evacuated the town of Athens, but the garrison withdrew to the ancient Acropolis of Athens, determined to hold out until reinforcements arrived from Thebes. The Venetian army set up cannon and mortar batteries on the Pnyx and other heights around the city and began a siege of the Acropolis. The Ottomans first demolished the Temple of Athena Nike to erect a cannon battery, and on 25 September, a Venetian cannonball exploded a powder magazine in the Propylaea. The most important damage caused was the destruction of the Parthenon. The Turks used the temple for ammunition storage, and when, on the evening of 26 September 1687, a mortar shell hit the building, the resulting explosion killed 300 people and led to the complete destruction of the temple's roof and most of the walls. Despite the enormous destruction caused by the "miraculous shot", as Morosini called it, the Turks continued to defend the fort until a relief attempt from the Ottoman army from Thebes was repulsed by Königsmarck on 28 September. The garrison then capitulated,.- few years before greek liberation from ottoman lord Byron from uk destroy more the temple by taking the sculptures of Parthenon and one caryatid from Erethio and his family donor what they steal to British museum greek governments with archaeologists and modern engineering give back to original temple his form and in 2004 build a museum with a view of Parthenon the only Pieces are missing is incide British museum that denied to return the stolen sculptures before 2004 the justification was you don't have a museum they just destroyed Parthenon and is against to be reunited with rest of sculptures in Athens this is a monument of great world heritage is a must to be hole .
Hello @rhatman2008 Athena is already part of the constellation of Aries and therefore part of human history forever. I think It's great to have Athens' Parthenon also in the USA 😎 Big thanks to the people of Nashville, Tennessee and talented artists who made its magnificent existence possible for us and future generations to enjoy. Thank you for your message and best wishes from South Florida 🌴🦋🐬🦜😎
What do you respect in Athena? The material from which it was made, or maybe the craftsmanship of the artist who made it, or maybe the idea of virginity and victory that this imaginary figure embodied?
@@maciejkwiatkowski7558He is Real and Ever Existing, Father Zeus doesn't live on Mount Olympus, these myths are not taken literally, He is The Father in Heaven so that's why he is depicted as living on top of mount Olympus because it supposedly reached heaven due to heights but no philosophers or theologians took that literally

thanks for posting. i realize now how unimpressive and unimportant Parthenon must have been compared to those majestic Roman temples, monuments and baths. In fact, monumental Greek architecture in Ionia/Asia Minor, is spectacular and among the seven wonders of the world. But not this thing
@@christosvlahos6636 most certainly not. u mean the italians got "spencer"s there??? so, u think all the world is prejudiced and blind to the facts, as are some Greek like you?? nope
@@TWOCOWS1 no, I'm just saying, educate yourself about the importance the Parthenon had to the citizens of Athens at the time. You can't just say it's unimportant and irregular.
You'd think they'd have taken a couple photos of the sculptor building Athena? You know, considering he won a contest as a non sculptor to make it back in 1982. His name should be as familiar as Frank Lloyd Wright or Michael Angelo for what they claim he accomplished with this piece? I'll tell you exactly what they did, they covered the Statue in white back in the 80s, it was already there inside the Parthenon, had been the entire time. Then unveiled it, then later had the "sculptor?" wash off the white, revealing what was there the entire time. And that's how history is faked.
Hello, from what I see, yes in the 80s, it took sculptor Alan LeQuire 8 years to finish the Athena sculpture and yes, he took photos during the process.... as you can see in the link below, photo of him showing the armature of the unfinished sculpture when it was still visible... images.app.goo.gl/6q6mD7apACRqmwMc6 Hope this helps. Take care ...

Originally Built in 1897 and intended to be temporary for Centennial celebration.
It was torn down 1920 and built again from 1925 until 1931 from more permanent materials.
I went many time during the time that the sculptor was making Athena. The artist for Athena was Alan LeQuire and was built in the late 1980s and finally completed in 1990.
Alan , besides being a great artist was very kind in answering dozens of my questions as I visited often during his work on-site.
Nike who is held in Athena’s open hand is 6 feet tall…. Life size human. Which gives a sense of scale to this monumental work.
Hello Gary Overman, thank you very much for your very informative message 🙏 Glad you had such close experiences during the making of this masterpiece. Best wishes from Florida 🌴🌊🌞🐬🌿
@@VolkanYuksel
Thank you for a great video that brought back good memories. I live close to Jack Daniel’s Distillery but Nashville was special due to the art and music scene. I minored in art and so Nashville was my weekend escape :-)
Later, as a dad of 2 girls, I often carried them to the park. They loved to feed the swans, geese, and ducks .
Thanks for posting your experience and showcasing this gem of the south.
So many will roam the bars of downtown and leave without even knowing about Athena and the Parthenon. But I’m betting that many who see your video will make a point of it and be richer for having done so.
Hello again Gary Overman, you're welcome 🙏😎 Thanks much to Google that brought this to my attention and allowed me to share it with the world. I am very happy that even many people of Greece experienced this live version of Parthenon and Athena from this video 😎 Actually I was one of those people who visited Nashville many times in the past and had no idea about this prior to Google brought to my attention. I am looking forward to revisit the area soon 🏦🗿💰🌴🚗 Thank you for your kind message and best wishes for the evening 🌴🌊🌛🐬🍀
GODS Vs The Titans fight scene from the movie Immortals was great and well. I felt so bad for athena when she was hurt. Thank God Zeus saved her.
In a lot of ways it's a more meaningful experience to visit this Parthenon than the one in Athens, Greece. This gives you a better representation of what the structure looked like during the time of the Greeks. The ruins in Athens are behind a lot of scaffolding.
Hello Erik Tryggestad, glad you appreciate the views of the Parthenon and the very well made goddesses sculptures of Athena and Nike. Perhaps eventually Greece government will duplicate this idea in close proximity of the actual Parthenon in Athens so that the citizens of the world can have an amazing and complete experience in one place. 🏆🗿🏦🇬🇷🌍 But I am very happy that I've discovered this totally not expected gift of people of Nashville to the world 🏆🗿🏦🇬🇷🇺🇸🌎🌍 Thank you for your message 🙏 and best wishes for the weekend 🌞🌅🌴⛱️🐠⛵🌱🐬
As a greek, i totally disagree. While impressive, this building cannot compare to the original Parthenon. It is a good copy but the architecture and material quality is just not the same. The original was made out of limestone and marble while the nashville copy is made out of bricks and cement. The greek parthenon has inspired a huge amount of modern and classic architecture. The us supreme court is an example of that. I believe that if you don't have the ability to travel to Athens but still want to experience the sophisticated ancient greek history, then the us copy is an amazing option. I am happy that our historic background is being shown in different parts of the world and especially in such a magnificent way. But the truth is that a copy of one of the icons of western civilization is just not enough to replace the original Acropolis experience.
Mind you, I have visited the Acropolis in Greece and it's absolutely amazing. I couldn't see much of the Pathenon itself due to the scaffolding, but there's nothing to compare with standing on Mars Hill and looking out over the city of Athens. Realizing how much history stems from that spot ... it's awe-inspiring. I'm looking forward to a time when I can travel there again!
@@simakosn he's an American what can you expect those people have no history
going there in a few days from texas,,yay,
Hello Erika Erika, thank you for your message. I hope you'd have safe and very enjoyable trip to Nashville Parthenon 🍀 Cheers from Florida🌴😀
That's not the real statue
I do believe that if I walked in the front entrance and saw that statue, I'd become a pagan in an instance.
It is supposed that the original statue -with dark hair and eyes, logically- is far more ancient than christianity...I don't know what do you mean...
Respect for the respect...Congratulations Nashville, TN
Do the pillars lso have entasis and is the stylobate curved?
Hello GOMOU, yes I believe so, some of the prior comments indicated that this replica of the Parthenon temple from Athens Greece and it's architectural features has been duplicated as accurately as possible during reconstruction with more permanent materials
Wow props to the man who designed this
From what I know it was first constructed as temporary exhibit. But People of Nashville loved is so much they stopped it from complete demolition and they demanded permanent version which is still standing today, also with perfectly and accurately built Athena and Nike goddesses sculptures with 24 carat gold cladding.
Was it built incorporating entasis?
Yes, I believe so...
I was there over 40 years ago. Is this exhibit new?
Hello Barbra Panser, it looks like the replica of the Athena Parthenos statue that was in the original Parthenon in Athens, completed back in 1990 which is about 10 years after your visit. Hope you'll have chance to visit there again soon to see this very spectacular update. Thank you for your message 🙏💮 Wishing all the best from South Florida 🌴🌎🌱🌬️🌊🌞🐬⛵🍀✨
No
most people dont know the real meaning of this ,or what it represents,
Hello Ken Taylor, yes, most people that are not Greece origin, has limited knowledge of Athena and Nike goddesses. Luckily Athena and its derivatives are also a name for ladies in the Western world 👩 🌎 So, I think allot of ladies searching for the meaning of their name get to know more about Athena ☺ Cheers from Florida 🍀🐬🌴

Hello this evening my dearest Volkan. Oh wow...saying it mildly..yes. This video and “Athens of the South”...is extraordinary. I cannot believe this monument here. Excuse me for being a bit ignorant, but I never knew it was there. The “yellow”...the “Pagan Goddess”...to the “Gold”... it is so striking and catches your eye in every corner. I love the music and the cube action with your cameras...🎥 ...Throughout this complete video, I felt as if I was in Greece and not in this country for sure. Volkan, you did such a professional job on this piece. Your work is becoming very distinctly different and unique to the other. One of my dreams was always to go to Greece. This is a piece of Greece in TN. Amazing surprise. Thank you so much for sharing this one, especially. 🌹👱🏻♀️✨I don’t think anyone has posted this monument prior. I hope your week is a beautiful one and stays on your path of perfection and production my dear Volkan..Pleasant dreams to you and smiles🥰to you...✨🌈🖤💮🌤🎥🏛🔭🌤💮🖤🌈✨
Hello dear Christine 👩🍒💐, yes, I was very shocked to see this there as well 😄 Many years ago I was in Nashville and visited wild 🐎 to see some square 💃💃 But I need to go back for seeing the other great art made by the sculptor Alan LeQuire and discover some more marvels. For the editing, I was a bit rushing to share this totally not expected experience as quickly as possible 😂 like breaking news 😂. I thank you very much for your very supportive message. And I am glad you liked the Kevin MacLeod music as well. Wishing you a very pleasant evening as well🌇🌌✨🌃🌠🎶🌙⛲🕌⛄
Volkan Yuksel 😂🥰...I loved your message. Your videos are the highlight of my evenings..👱🏻♀️⚜️🌹...I think I will have to venture in the land of surprises in TN. I have driven through Nashville, in traveling....but did not know all this extraordinary art existed. Unbelievable. For rushing through this video, you surely did a fabulous job. It’s perfect and very detailed as you scoped it thoroughly passing on...Loved it! Cheers...🥂 🍻...ha...see you soon..I hope..😘
Athena is goddess of wisdom and symbol (protector) of freedom and democracy - that's why her monuments are quite often in western world.
Το Άγαλμα της Αθηνάς Προμάχου - The statue of Athina Promachos, The homeric authors named her γλαυκῶπις - bright-eyed, later grey-eyed as an epithet. Finally the city is named η Αθήνα or οί Αθήναι in its plural (my greek teacher told me this may be why it is called Athens ending with an s in english) and η Αθηνά as the personal name stressing the final vowel here instead. Always with the definite article before the names / τα ονόματα in greek 💙
Hello Theodisc, thank you for additional insights about the Athena and Athens 🏛️🏆😎🍀
@@VolkanYuksel Thank you Volkan for posting this upload. Hopefully we greeks will see the stolen Parthenon marbles repatriated to where they came from one day from that den of iniquity the British Museum. But not anytime soon alas. Last month a UNESCO advisory board stated to the anglos that they must be returned to Hellas. It took the british government *one day* to reply to them that they obtained them "legally" and that they would remain (deteriorating) in that bastion of cultural theft and colonialsm. 💙
Hello Theodisc, you're welcome 🙏 Unfortunately undoing the deals of the past is not easy, like un-melting the gold of original Athena statue... But regardless, I also hope that the historic pieces would be returned to their original locations... I am very happy that I was able to bring this surprising existence of phenomenal Parthenon replica to the attention of the people of Greece. Thank you for your message and best wishes from South Florida 🌴😎🍀

Woauww espectacular me encanta la cultura griega como el antiguo egipto espero hacer mi propia version de atenea parthenos si el tiempo me acompaña.
What is it's purpose?
Very good question Derrick McAdoo. From what I know, early Greek temples were for keeping the villagers wealth safe. Like banks of the past... Therefore my guess is that these giant monuments of art were there to help keeping the enemies of the village scared away. Hope some expert also would comment on this as well. Cheers
@@VolkanYuksel The precision and dedication to this model is crazy to me. Unless there is a local scene of Athena-worshipers? It's a lot of resources, and time? Or maybe it was made with surplus materials from local businesses with down time, and a similar interest? Historical Landmark Tax write-off for the state to provide jobs? So many questions, lol.
EDIT: A friend showed me when I was in Nashville for college. I feel like, we walked out of some woods, from a trail or something, and came to this massive thing seemly out in the middle of nowhere. That was 16 years ago.
Well, I think love of the locals the made the temporary construction stay alive and made it keep getting better over time and eventually it evolved in to the fascinating level that it is today. I believe its is more like a art venue / museum today than an active place for faith related practices...Again, I hope some experts can help us and hope you'll have chance to visit it at minimum to stare at so much pure gold 😊🏆
Hello Ion Vasile, yes, it is very interesting that today's banks that hold the wealth of the communities are related to temples. Thank you for your message and best wishes for the weekend from Florida 🌴😎🍀

Hello @danmallard280, thank you for sharing your valuable insights about the Nashville's Parthenon from 1970s. I am guessing once they start charging visitors a fee, they may have created funds to pay for the maintenance and most importantly to pay artist Alan LeQuire for the incredible Athena monument and her almost pure gold extraordinary cladding. I think Nashville's Parthenon is more complete with this very impressive monumental piece of art inside. Cheers from South Florida 🌴😎🍀
Giant blue eyes... she pretty famously had grey eyes lol.
Hi Johny Johny, her olive grey eyes looks more blueish due to white balance of the camera perhaps shifted to more bluish because of the crazy nice gold color 🌴🍀😎

With all due respect.....the Statue of ... "SOFIA PARTHENAS"... herself ..(Wisdom)...is incorrectly depicted. It is in the "Post Kouros - Pre-Classical style...... austere and tensely poised ...totally inappropriate for the "Classical Golden Age of ELLAS". Phidias. the unsurpassed genius of monumental sculpture was the hero of "Hellenic Classicism" .....less stiff ...onto supreme postural perfection....referred to as... "CONTRAPOSTO" ...A total adherence toward Hellenic Naturalness of this New Age....a move toward ultimate graceful lines...more lifelike and pleasing. We ELLINES invented this hallmark in World History to a level unsurpassed to this day. Study the frieze that surrounds the inner wall, like a woven, silk ribbon, enveloping our magnificent structure cradling it to the path of Perfection...then close your eyes and dream of what ...ATHENA'.... must have looked like when my ancestors gazed upon Her for the very first time. "PERFECTION"...one our countless gifts WE have awarded Mankind !

I lived in Nashville in the late 1970s, and I’ve been inside the Parthenon. The Athena Parthenos statue wasn’t made at that time, much to my disappointment! The place looked rather empty without it. This looks great, though! Unfortunately, the goddess is rather square-jawed; I always pictured her prettier than that.
Yo tomo clases de inglés con la joven británica Jade Joddle.
Su cara es para mí la cara que posiblemente tuvo Atenea.
Sus ojos son bellísimos.
Si la vistieran a la usanza griega sería la imagen perfecta para una escultura.

Im greek actuality is bobamred from Venetian ship from sea during Turkish ottoman Venetian war the ottoman use the Parthenon to store gunpowder from wiki As part of the Morean War, the Venetians had landed on the Peloponnese peninsula (then known as "Morea") in southern Greece, and in a series of campaigns in 1685-1687 had managed to wrest it from the Ottoman forces holding it.[1][2] The Venetian position in the Morea was unsafe, however, as the Ottoman strongholds of Thebes and Negroponte (Chalkis) provided the Ottoman Empire with excellent bases for an invasion and reconquest of the peninsula.[3] As a result, the Venetian commanders, under Francesco Morosini, decided to expand their campaign into eastern Central Greece, with Athens as the first target. On 21 September 1687, Königsmarck's army, 10,750 men strong, landed at Eleusis, while the Venetian fleet entered Piraeus. The Turks quickly evacuated the town of Athens, but the garrison withdrew to the ancient Acropolis of Athens, determined to hold out until reinforcements arrived from Thebes. The Venetian army set up cannon and mortar batteries on the Pnyx and other heights around the city and began a siege of the Acropolis. The Ottomans first demolished the Temple of Athena Nike to erect a cannon battery, and on 25 September, a Venetian cannonball exploded a powder magazine in the Propylaea. The most important damage caused was the destruction of the Parthenon. The Turks used the temple for ammunition storage, and when, on the evening of 26 September 1687, a mortar shell hit the building, the resulting explosion killed 300 people and led to the complete destruction of the temple's roof and most of the walls. Despite the enormous destruction caused by the "miraculous shot", as Morosini called it, the Turks continued to defend the fort until a relief attempt from the Ottoman army from Thebes was repulsed by Königsmarck on 28 September. The garrison then capitulated,.- few years before greek liberation from ottoman lord Byron from uk destroy more the temple by taking the sculptures of Parthenon and one caryatid from Erethio and his family donor what they steal to British museum greek governments with archaeologists and modern engineering give back to original temple his form and in 2004 build a museum with a view of Parthenon the only Pieces are missing is incide British museum that denied to return the stolen sculptures before 2004 the justification was you don't have a museum they just destroyed Parthenon and is against to be reunited with rest of sculptures in Athens this is a monument of great world heritage is a must to be hole .

You'd think they'd have taken a couple photos of the sculptor building Athena? You know, considering he won a contest as a non sculptor to make it back in 1982. His name should be as familiar as Frank Lloyd Wright or Michael Angelo for what they claim he accomplished with this piece? I'll tell you exactly what they did, they covered the Statue in white back in the 80s, it was already there inside the Parthenon, had been the entire time. Then unveiled it, then later had the "sculptor?" wash off the white, revealing what was there the entire time. And that's how history is faked.
Hello, from what I see, yes in the 80s, it took sculptor Alan LeQuire 8 years to finish the Athena sculpture and yes, he took photos during the process.... as you can see in the link below, photo of him showing the armature of the unfinished sculpture when it was still visible... images.app.goo.gl/6q6mD7apACRqmwMc6 Hope this helps.
