    Nashville is the "Athens of the South" because of it's dedication to higher education. Vanderbilt University in Nashville is called the Harvard of the South. Nashville is the South's Education Center with 39 Colleges and Universities in it's city limits. That's why the Parthenon is there.

    That was very historic, and unusual. Classic architect in real time. Would be nice to see all the true originals restored.

    there is an old Paul Harvey episode of "the rest of the story, " where he speaks of Nashville not wanting to be the home of country music. In its beginning "hillbilly, " music was considered crude and beneath the people of Nashville since they were the "Athens of the south."

    Neoclassicism had a long appeal here in the US, after it had gone out of vogue in art in Europe. At least until WWII many government buildings were strongly influenced by a whimsy for ancient Rome and Greece. After than modernism in architecture tamped down that whimsy.

    Tartarian structure that was founded, not built. Sister to the Parthenon in Athens built by an advanced world wide society

    Freemasons designed all this. DC is laid out in a way that mocks the God of the bible. There's a the points of a pentagram designed into the streets just north of the white house pointing to it like the star of Bethlehem that led the wise men to the birth of Christ. The land was ceded by Virginia and Maryland and that gives you the virgin Mary. There's an empty tomb in the basement of the capitol building dedicated to Goerge Washington that has sat empty ever since he was buried elswhere. There's a painting on the ceiling of that same building depicting Goerge Washington on a throne in heaven surrounded by angels. All of that was designed by freemasons. With all that symbolism, their saying whoever is in the white house is God, and the white house is welcoming the antiChrist to rule from there.

    It’s strange here. It’s not a great area and the lawn is not on par with the magnitude and cost of this replica. The outdoor building restrooms adjacent to the building has a lot of male to male prostitution where simple backing into your parking spot signals you want to be approached by a gay hey 👋. Of all places in the South near all the civil war history that will still get outsiders called Yankee behind their back, we have a massive golden Goddess enshrined. 🤷‍♀️

    Nashville downtown was built on an 'indian' necropolis (burial ground). Estimated 100k bodies. Add an estimated 50k musicians (soothsayers), the largest cave system in the world to the north in mammoth cave, a football team called the titans, and a hockey team called the predators, a giant corridor of trafficking of people and drugs; Nashville (Naagsville?) is a VERY occult city.

    Peoples without understanding certain principles that are now only achieved through esoteric research. Did not build these imagine monkeys Neanderthals talking about cold fusion it just cannot be possible unless the civilization had knowledge of secrets geometry construction methods and advanced mathematics it’s impossible that a relatively primitive ( horse and buggy people )in times of war and uncertainty could achieve that level. Just some examples is the Corinthian order and the principle of vatsu energy
