Wow!!! Giant Athena and Nike at The Parthenon Nashville, TN - 4K
I was totally not expecting to see this Golden Athena from Ancient Athens at the Parthenon - Nashville, TN during the escape from hurricane Dorian... What a piece of History, big thanks sculptor Alan LeQuire, the team and to the people of Nashville for such a gift to the World. It was amazing to see the Full Scale Replica, ~40 foot Statue of Athena with Nike in her hand which is made with 8.5 Lbs of gold leaf. The Parthenon is located at Centennial Park.
3D model of the Parthenon can be seen in A ssassin's Creed Odyssey Discovery Tour by UBISOFT

And now imagine how the original in Greece is made entirely out of Pantelic white marble. Stunning and imagine the cost in today's dollars. Mindblowing

Hey Athens, when are you going to finish yours!? 😅😅😅
I really wish we had one here in the UK. They started one one on a hill in Edinburgh in....18......sumink. Never got far. They just finished the front collonade, that was it. Athena Polias in all her STUNNING, haughty glory. FANTASTIC. Would love to go there dressed in a set of Classical Athenian armour, and pay my respects.

As a greek, i totally disagree. While impressive, this building cannot compare to the original Parthenon. It is a good copy but the architecture and material quality is just not the same. The original was made out of limestone and marble while the nashville copy is made out of bricks and cement. The greek parthenon has inspired a huge amount of modern and classic architecture. The us supreme court is an example of that. I believe that if you don't have the ability to travel to Athens but still want to experience the sophisticated ancient greek history, then the us copy is an amazing option. I am happy that our historic background is being shown in different parts of the world and especially in such a magnificent way. But the truth is that a copy of one of the icons of western civilization is just not enough to replace the original Acropolis experience.

Mind you, I have visited the Acropolis in Greece and it's absolutely amazing. I couldn't see much of the Pathenon itself due to the scaffolding, but there's nothing to compare with standing on Mars Hill and looking out over the city of Athens.

Originally Built in 1897 and intended to be temporary for Centennial celebration. It was torn down 1920 and built again from 1925 until 1931 from more permanent materials. I went many time during the time that the sculptor was making Athena. The artist for Athena was Alan LeQuire and was built in the late 1980s and finally completed in 1990. Alan , besides being a great artist was very kind in answering dozens of my questions as I visited often during his work on-site. Nike who is held in Athena’s open hand is 6 feet tall…. Life size human. Which gives a sense of scale to this monumental work.

@@VolkanYuksel The precision and dedication to this model is crazy to me. Unless there is a local scene of Athena-worshipers? It's a lot of resources, and time? Or maybe it was made with surplus materials from local businesses with down time, and a similar interest? Historical Landmark Tax write-off for the state to provide jobs? So many questions, lol. EDIT: A friend showed me when I was in Nashville for college. I feel like, we walked out of some woods, from a trail or something, and came to this massive thing seemly out in the middle of nowhere. That was 16 years ago.

Well, I think love of the locals the made the temporary construction stay alive and made it keep getting better over time and eventually it evolved in to the fascinating level that it is today. I believe its is more like a art venue / museum today than an active place for faith related practices...Again, I hope some experts can help us and hope you'll have chance to visit it at minimum to stare at so much pure gold 😊🏆

With all due respect.....the Statue of ... "SOFIA PARTHENAS"... herself ..(Wisdom)...is incorrectly depicted. It is in the "Post Kouros - Pre-Classical style...... austere and tensely poised ...totally inappropriate for the "Classical Golden Age of ELLAS". Phidias. the unsurpassed genius of monumental sculpture was the hero of "Hellenic Classicism" .....less stiff ...onto supreme postural perfection....referred to as... "CONTRAPOSTO" ...A total adherence toward Hellenic Naturalness of this New Age....a move toward ultimate graceful lines...more lifelike and pleasing. We ELLINES invented this hallmark in World History to a level unsurpassed to this day. Study the frieze that surrounds the inner wall, like a woven, silk ribbon, enveloping our magnificent structure cradling it to the path of Perfection...then close your eyes and dream of what ...ATHENA'.... must have looked like when my ancestors gazed upon Her for the very first time. "PERFECTION"...one our countless gifts WE have awarded Mankind !

You'd think they'd have taken a couple photos of the sculptor building Athena? You know, considering he won a contest as a non sculptor to make it back in 1982. His name should be as familiar as Frank Lloyd Wright or Michael Angelo for what they claim he accomplished with this piece? I'll tell you exactly what they did, they covered the Statue in white back in the 80s, it was already there inside the Parthenon, had been the entire time. Then unveiled it, then later had the "sculptor?" wash off the white, revealing what was there the entire time. And that's how history is faked.

Hello, from what I see, yes in the 80s, it took sculptor Alan LeQuire 8 years to finish the Athena sculpture and yes, he took photos during the process.... as you can see in the link below, photo of him showing the armature of the unfinished sculpture when it was still visible... images.app.goo.gl/6q6mD7apACRqmwMc6 Hope this helps.

Im greek actuality is bobamred from Venetian ship from sea during Turkish ottoman Venetian war the ottoman use the Parthenon to store gunpowder from wiki As part of the Morean War, the Venetians had landed on the Peloponnese peninsula (then known as "Morea") in southern Greece, and in a series of campaigns in 1685-1687 had managed to wrest it from the Ottoman forces holding it.[1][2] The Venetian position in the Morea was unsafe, however, as the Ottoman strongholds of Thebes and Negroponte (Chalkis) provided the Ottoman Empire with excellent bases for an invasion and reconquest of the peninsula.[3] As a result, the Venetian commanders, under Francesco Morosini, decided to expand their campaign into eastern Central Greece, with Athens as the first target. On 21 September 1687, Königsmarck's army, 10,750 men strong, landed at Eleusis, while the Venetian fleet entered Piraeus. The Turks quickly evacuated the town of Athens, but the garrison withdrew to the ancient Acropolis of Athens, determined to hold out until reinforcements arrived from Thebes. The Venetian army set up cannon and mortar batteries on the Pnyx and other heights around the city and began a siege of the Acropolis. The Ottomans first demolished the Temple of Athena Nike to erect a cannon battery, and on 25 September, a Venetian cannonball exploded a powder magazine in the Propylaea. The most important damage caused was the destruction of the Parthenon. The Turks used the temple for ammunition storage, and when, on the evening of 26 September 1687, a mortar shell hit the building, the resulting explosion killed 300 people and led to the complete destruction of the temple's roof and most of the walls. Despite the enormous destruction caused by the "miraculous shot", as Morosini called it, the Turks continued to defend the fort until a relief attempt from the Ottoman army from Thebes was repulsed by Königsmarck on 28 September. The garrison then capitulated,.- few years before greek liberation from ottoman lord Byron from uk destroy more the temple by taking the sculptures of Parthenon and one caryatid from Erethio and his family donor what they steal to British museum greek governments with archaeologists and modern engineering give back to original temple his form and in 2004 build a museum with a view of Parthenon the only Pieces are missing is incide British museum that denied to return the stolen sculptures before 2004 the justification was you don't have a museum they just destroyed Parthenon and is against to be reunited with rest of sculptures in Athens this is a monument of great world heritage is a must to be hole .
