@@lilpenny1982 Do you mean the temple to Hephaestus in the Agora? My favorite is the Erechtheion, because of the legend, the different temples and the Caryatids, but the temple to Hephaisteion is small but impressive for its story, it is fading away though… I wish someone will protect it in some way. It gives me that nineteenth century romantic feelings. The temple of Zeus must have been absolutely magnificent. It is a pity things have been stolen, it would be great if they could restore those buildings at least partially. The UK could make perfect marble copies and return the originals to Athens. They have the techniques and the money to do it and people has other reasons to visit the British Museum and London.

Agora, with all sense of freedom

The Parthenon was erected after the victory over the Persians to honor those who fought for freedom. Its frieze depicts 192 men, they were the men who fell in the battle of Marathon. It is the first monument in the whole world to honor simple, ordinary men. Parthenon is the symbol of democracy.

I visited the Acropolis twice in my lifetime. In each instance, I was overwhelmed. My first visit was in 1974 and was of a short duration. Happily, I spent six months in Athens in 1976 and walked up those steps and around those buildings many dozens of times. At nights, I would sit in the Plaka with a glass of retsina or ouzo and look at the lighted Parthenon. Athens is magic. I easily felt at home there, as if, in centuries past, it had been my home.

To those supporting the British Museum idea of holding the Parthenon Sculptures in England: 1. By the time (1800) the English lord stole the marbles, the place (modern Greece), was occupied by Islamists. 2. The Lord came.with one and only intention to get the marbles and sell them afterwards for profit. 3. He got permission from the islamic Sultan of Constantinople who didn't care less. 4. From 500 BC to 1800 AD (2300 years) the Temple was intact in most of it's parts. 5. At least the decorations was there, an no-one had the devilish idea to remove them. 6. Parthenon was converted to a Christian church. No priest thought of removing the marbles. 7. Parthenon was converted to an islamic mosque. No imam cared if the marbles stood above. 8. The English thive came and saw the marbles off. Yes he used iron saws to cutt them of and down. 9. Some parts was feld down during the process and broke. 10. Three ships carried them to London, in a most dramatic voyage. 11. The enslaved Greeks of Athens, while in a small number, wiped tears for the unwilling theft. 12. The English Lord held the marbles for years at his residence, trying to auction them to nobles and kings throughout the World. 13. Initially the British Museum didn't want them, as the selling price was too high for them. 14. After the possession of the marbles (after 50 years of coming to England), in the reing of Queen Victoria, the museum tried to clean them with citric (lemon) acid (!!!!!!!!!) and make them white again, witch caused bigger damage after the centuries and the cutting. 15. In 21st century, the roof of the Hall of the Parthenon Galleries was dropping rain water directly on to the marbles (!!!). 16. In the summer of 2023 A.D. a huge scandal surfed on British Museum, that the curator of greek antiquities was leaving his day job every day, with small antiquities in his briefcase, selling them on Ebay afterwards. 17. There is no information if the curator and the English Lord of the beginning are related by blod. 18. The Director of Governors of the Museum was resigned after the issue came in public, and he failed to cover it up. 19. The New Acropolis Museum in Athens is built in right proportions and orientation to host back and protect the stolen Greek treasures. 20. We, the People of Greece will spare no effort, publication, demand, and negotiations for our goal to be successful one day, if not in ours generation, to the generation of our children at least.

It's like a man calling a man, man, or a woman calling a woman, woman. Islam is not a race, so raising the racist card, on a religious subject, it's a well known tactict, not to be appropriate on the subject. A white muslim cannot call a white Christian, racist, simple for expressing his freedom of expression, speach, and ideas. It's a fascist behavior, demonstrating the mentality of Islam, suppressing any different opinion, towards global dominion. So.who is the worst advocate here, you calling me racist, because this is the argument they gave you to call all that are not same like you, with a bad term, and deliberately insult them, or me presenting Histocal facts in a well balanced comment ?

The Parthenon Gallery at the Acropolis Museum already have replicas of the Elgin Marbles on display. Their exhibition combines the original marble sculptures with plaster copies of those retained in the British Museum or other foreign museums. The plaster casts were made in 1802 by Elgin. Dr. Emma Payne, a Classics department fellow at King’s College, analyzed the casts and found that they "preserved details lost from the in situ originals over the past two centuries. Elgin’s plaster casts are a time capsule of how the sculptures appeared in 1802, whereas the originals remained outdoors, suffering some damage [including from Athens city air pollution] until they were transferred to the Acropolis Museum in 1993", only 30 years ago.

Re: Octastyle vs Hexastyle. I was taught in art history that Greek temples had six columns at the entrance because six was the number of objects a human could recognize in a glance. Any more, and a human would have to count them. Gods, on the other hand, could perceive larger quantities at a glance, so the Parthenon, a temple of a God, exhibited this by having eight columns.

Only one word: EXCELLENT.

The statue of Athena Promachos transferred to Constantinople around A.D. 395 and was placed in front the Parliament House. It was destroyed by the crusaders of the Fourth Crusade.1204 A.D.

With your videos of the treasures of the past, you make history come alive again, you can almost touch it, feel it, be part of it.

Brilliant analysis, Manuel Bravo. You are among the finest teachers in the world!

In the early 2000's the theater next to it had no security, some Athens friend used to jump the fence with some beers and play music in the theater at night :-) also the rock under the entrance is a awesome chill-out place ...

My first time in Athens was February 1979 - terrible traffic but no scaffolding then on the temple and the original Caryatids and remaining sculptures were in place , all thankfully now protected in the museums, plus a few friendly cats and the site was uncrowded - I was fortunate to have a professional guide who was wonderful - and your video explains the site exceptionally well! Have since returned to Athens at least 5 or 6 times and every time it’s as magical as the first. My spiritual home and can’t wait to return later this year and hopefully many more times in the future. Also your Delphi video was fantastic - it’s an amazing place too and not to be missed. Thank you so much!

Manuel, I am overwhelmed with respect and awe by the reverence, cultural and philosophical background of the architects and planners, mathematical knowledge, and execution of the Acropolis. Through your thoroughly realized video arising from great research, photography, and tastefully and precisely utilized CGI, I am sitting in stunned amazement not only of this astounding and beautiful Greek accomplishment and window into Athens of 2400 years ago but in the learning of the previously unknown to me existence of a detailed replica of the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee. Mind blown! I simultaneously felt a simmering anger upon learning of how the so-called Elgin marbles of the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the Temple of Athena, and the Propylaia sit in the British Museum having been looted "removed" in 1801-1812 by Thomas Bruce and shipped to England. I cannot comprehend how this holding by the British Museum can continue to be accepted as legitimate and legal by any governing body today. Congratulations on the execution of this concise, inspiring, educational, and beautifully executed video.

The Elgin Marbles were bought by the Brits from the Turks who had conquered Greece at that time. The Turks later filled the temple with ammo, figuring the Greeks would never blow it. They did. The Greeks fired mortars at the temple, and the ammo eexploded. If the Elgin marbles had not been removed, they would have been destroyed then.

Elgin shipped the Marbles to the UK 1802-1812 over a 10 year period. Difficult to believe that the local and central Ottoman government didn't know about it. There were no complaints raised at the time or in 1816 when they were sold to the British Museum. The Elgin Marbles were acquired by consent of the Ottoman authorities. By 1816 Athens had been part of the Ottoman Empire for 358 years ever since 1458, so many would say that they were the legitimate government at the time. "His actions were thoroughly investigated by a Parliamentary Select Committee in 1816 and found to be entirely legal, prior to the sculptures entering the collection of the British Museum by Act of Parliament," source: British Museum.

Very useful--- I have climbed up there twice in the hoards of tourists, also been to Nashville, where it is considerably less crowded.

Always love seeing a new video from you! It's always exciting, and I always learn something new :)

As a Greek I can positively say that this is the best rendition of the architectural marvel of the Acropololis that I have come across! Congratulations Mr Bravo!!! Bravo indeed!!! I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that an accurate reproduction of the Parthenon exists in Nashville, Tennessee - didn't know that. Excellent video Mr Bravo, thank you!

In Greek it is η Αθήνα / i Athína the city and η Αθηνά / i Athiná the person, with at times the definite article (the - η). In Greek every word longer than one syllable seperated by a consonant will have a vowel marked which denotes inflection on that vowel with the voice (like we now say bálcony in EN), so this is why the twain are said out differently (and Greeks *will* correct you when you say a word without the required inflection or inflect it on the wrong vowel. They are helpmeets like this). There is also οι Αθήναι / oi Athínai which is a plural. When I asked my Greek φιλολόγιος / philológios - Greek language master, once he told me this particular name is plural, if this is why we call it "Athens" in English he enigmatically answered "maybe...".😋 🧿

I and my wife were at the Acropolis in May 2023. I'm fortunate to visit Parthenon and its adjoining buildings

What a great video

Excellent video, thanks for paying tribute to our ancient history! A small addition to the narration, the Caryatides were the most beautiful women of the time, that’s why their look was chosen for the Erechthion.

The proper name of Athens is "Αθήναι"= Many Athenas because it consisted of 10 tribes, 10 Athenas. It is one of the very few cities to have a plural in their name (Another example is Thebes of Egypt).

Manuel Bravo provides an excellent explanation and understanding of the Acropolis of Athens. The pictures are extremely helpful in understanding this extraordinary grouping of structures, and his commentary is very clear.

Very excellent. Thank you sincerely. Interesting how again the idea of procession is integral to the plan of the site, much like the plan in Thebes with those pylons.

This would have been so useful in 1985- 86, in my final year at secondary school, when I did a "Crash" Higher Grade in Ancient Greek. After years of Latin, Green architecture and drama was an overwhelmingly refreshing experience. My teacher managed to get a grant for my father and I to travel from Glasgow to London to visit the (stolen) marbles at the British Museum. Nearest I came to actual real life Greek ruins, along with a Classics trip to the Bay of Naples in summer 1986, when we visited Pompeii, Herculaneum, Capri and the temples at Paestum.
