Interesting.
Looks like they still have a ways to go.
[Here](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fparthenon-athens-greece-1875-vs-2022-v0-1vgpaomdq0c91.jpg%3Fwidth%3D640%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D1a586611ac9fa422ddda490a4673d829791512af) you can see a comparison of the restoration progress.
Almost all stones used, are from the Acropolis itself, minimizing the use of new material as much as possible.
When a block or piece is missing or too damaged, they replace the missing parts with new Pentelic marble, which is the same type of marble originally used in the 5th century BCE. This marble still comes from Mount Penteli, north of Athens just like in ancient times.
What is that platform structure sticking out over the stylobate
Zagreb Cathedral: You merely adopted the scaffold; I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already scaffolded again, by then it was nothing to me but blinding.
But the construction is far from finished! At least one or two stones are missing on top.
It was an impressive sight even with scaffolding…
crazy talk, I know, but what if… y’all just built a new one? Caryatids and all?
maybe make it bigger… I mean, it’s the idea that’s beautiful, just carry it out fully is all I’m saying, give people something to really go wow at… no need to celebrate the abrasion of centuries, after all
It still looks pretty ruined to me. Damn corruption, all these time and money.
The British Museum needs to return the Elgin marbles.
Fun fact, it became a church in the 6th century AD and then a mosque in the 15th century AD, which was then destroyed by Greeks when they gained control over Athens.
What’s with the photoshopping though?
And it’s still not finished
You’re kidding me. And I was just there two weeks ago. I should have postponed my trip.
„They say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is…“
Terrible they still haven’t got a roof on it cowboys!
Serious question- how does a monument like this even fall into disrepair? Like sure its old, but like people stilled lived in Greece for all this time. They may worship different gods but like didnt anyone think „hey the roof of our national monument is starting to break, let’s fix it“ and „wouldnt this be a fire church?“ ?????
Nah ive been seeing scaffold free pics of it for years
/s
One of the great structures of the ancient world.
I actually saw it new in assassin’s creed. Matter of fact I jumped off the top into a pile of hay.
Fucking Venetians
I know where they can find some of the missing pieces.
When will they add the roof back?
Do the Colossus next!
At this rate that thing will never be finished.
John Wilson would be disappointed.
I was there last week for the 1st time ever and didn’t see any scaffolding.
Never knew how lucky we were
Rather have my name recognized in the pantheon then have to spend eternity with a prude whose focused on coin.
heighest honor a mortal or demi god can recieve.
kinda like valhalla.
They say of the acropolis where the parthenon is…
I saw a jigsaw puzzle of the Parthenon and they’d used a photo showing it shrouded in scaffolding.
I can’t find a job in America
There is another one in Tennessee in much better shape.
