@ancient.insights31: The Parthenon is a marble temple built between 447 and 432 BCE at the height of the ancient Greek Empire, dedicated to the goddess Athena. Scientific research proved that every single one of its sculptures was originally painted in vivid colors — the white ruins we see today bear no resemblance to what the ancient Athenians actually saw. Over its lifetime it was converted into a Byzantine church, then a Roman Catholic cathedral, then a mosque — and still survived essentially intact for over two millennia. Builders used 100,000 tons of marble quarried 10 miles away — cut and fitted by hand with no mortar whatsoever. 🇬🇷⚡ Everything you learned about the Parthenon is only half the story. Drop a 🏛️ if this changed how you see the Parthenon. #learnontiktokcontest #DidYouKnow #todayilearned #greek #History

I hate when they say it’s impossible to recreate one of these ancient monuments. It’s not impossible, just impractical and hugely expensive to do and it’s just not financially feasible to do it. Nashville recreated the Parthenon and I guarantee most could not tell the difference

Furthermore, for the first time in history, a temple—specifically the Parthenon—depicted on its frieze not only gods, deities, etc., but also citizens of Athens, officials, etc. For the first time, humans were the focus, not the gods.

But the European Union didn’t recognize Pericles as an important man to put on banknotes … not to say for democracy and many other things related to European culture … this is so frustrating ….!
