Ένα πολύ ωραίο mixed-video για το πως οι Βρετανοί κατέστρεψαν τα γλυπτά του Παρθενώνα…
The Parthenon (Greek: Παρθενώνας) is a temple of the Greek goddess Athena built in the fifth century B.C.E. on the Acropolis of Athens.
It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered to be the culmination of the development of the Doric order.
Its decorative sculptures are considered one of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon, one of the most visited archaeological sites in Greece, is regarded as an enduring symbol of ancient Greece and of Athenian democracy, and is one of the world's greatest cultural monuments. Its continued existence, however, depends on our choosing to use our advanced science and technology to preserve and protect it from dangers such as pollution.
A large collection of marble sculptures removed from Athens to Britain in 1806 by Lord Elgin, ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1799 to 1803. The sculptures were purchased by the British Parliament from Lord Elgin and presented to the British Museum, London in 1816 where they have remained on display to the public.
