It's not only the technical finesse of The Parthenon that makes it unique; it is also its innovations, radical spirit, aesthetic perfection and measure, that only the Athenian creative mind could achieve at that time!
Excellent job showing the Gigantic Minds, that were lived in Greece, those who tought us: Art-Theater, Medic, Philosophy, Mathematics and Forms plasticity including mathematics. We all ought them our civil existance
Thank you very much for this short but instructive video. Because everybody says that the Parthenon lines are curved in order to look straight, but they don't talk about these optical illusions
Even the top engineers architects and stonemasons with all the high tech tools admit they could not build such a perfect structure. They were better than us
This has actually nothing to do with the fact that they were STOLEN... Yes they are for the world to enjoy but who says they cant be enjoyed the same way over here...where they were SUPPOSED to be !!!!???!!!
i like the fact that scientists try to explain every little thing on Earth!! :) but i think that ancient Greeks knew better...!! Greetings from Athens!! :D
To calareify they were not stolen they we're given to the british as a gift by the ottoman governer of greece, as back then greece was ruled by the ottomans
omg mate, u have your facts wrong... homer lived and wrote iliad and odessey in around 8th century BC... and Greek history goes back to 3000BC Greek, egyptian and Chinese culture are the oldest and most important cultures ever. it is wrong to try and compare them. each one offered great things to humanity
Beacuse of the following: 1. that museum's design is an insult to the partenon 2. the museum destoroed many statues sacred to hellenistic reconstruction 3. the brithish museum celibrates the similarity and diversity of humanity and unlike the partenon museum is not driven by nationalism. sumery: greece clearly mismanages it's antiquities, the british museum is a much better home

The so called Elgin Marbles now in the British Museum belong to the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens.
Dionysus Artificers , on Naxos . these were Ionian greeks . Ionnic columns . one family the Leontini were exporting marble . Paros marble as well
I just watched the 5 part video on your website and it was superb. 5 stars.
The build quality of these structures were far better than this video quality....
It was 16 years ago, dude

NOVA is... the hub of science!
sad how half the building got blown up in a explosion
I caught that too. I think "literally" is now misused more often than "ironic."
Thanks NOVA!!!!

Don t make a legend out of simple things . The architects had just seen through experience that straight lines appeared like curved . That s all .
The Astrolabe was invented by Arab muslims to assist in prayer. Whatever changed didn't change until long after Islam.

The gypsy languages was the Language of Alexander!
How to prove it? Easy! In his fathers tomb the name is written like that

It disgusts me that the Christians defaced this relic. Again, ruining yet another aspect of history. Thanks 'Jesus'
It was actually the muslims that defaced them.
