  • I was totally not expecting to see this Golden Athena from Ancient Athens at the Parthenon - Nashville, TN during the escape from hurricane Dorian... What a piece of History, big thanks sculptor Alan LeQuire, the team and to the people of Nashville for such a gift to the World. It was amazing to see the Full Scale Replica, ~40 foot Statue of Athena with Nike in her hand which is made with 8.5 Lbs of gold leaf. The Parthenon is located at Centennial Park.
    3D model of the Parthenon can be seen in A ssassin's Creed Odyssey Discovery Tour by UBISOFT

      Hello Trismusik, lucky today's technology in the hands of talented and devoted digital artists allow very realistic looking reconstruction of the scientifically predicted past appearance of the ancient Greece. I am hoping that someday I'll be able to share such a video reconstruction. Thanks for your message and best wishes from Florida🌴🐬🍀

      @simakosn 3 года назад +13

      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.

    • @tryggestad
      @tryggestad 3 года назад +9

      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!

      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.

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.

      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 🌴🌎🌱🌬️🌊🌞🐬⛵🍀✨

      From what I know it was first constructed as temporary exhibit.

    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.

      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 .
