#triangles #parthenon

Surviving Ancient #Greek marbles from the #Parthenon, c440 BCE. The temple was defaced by Christians in the 500s. In 1687 it exploded when Venetians bombed the Ottoman's gunpowder stored inside. Ambassador Elgin bought the #sculptures under controversial circumstances. Now held at British #Museum.

[10/10] Le compromis recherché est donc précis. Athènes veut une réunification permanente des marbres, sans reconnaître la propriété du British Museum. Londres doit composer avec sa loi de 1963. Mitsotakis propose d’en faire le socle d’un partenariat culturel durable. #HGGSP #heritage #Parthenon

[1/10] Pour #HGGSP Terminale, The Guardian analysent les négociations sur les marbres du Parthénon, tandis que Kyriakos Mitsotakis défend leur réunification. Les 2 articles montrent comment ce #patrimoine disputé cristallise souveraineté, mémoire et diplomatie.

#OnThisDay in 1687, a Venetian mortar round set off gunpowder that Ottoman Turks were storing in the #Parthenon in #Athens, partly destroying the building; in 1975, the Greek government began a partial restoration of the building, a symbol of classical Athens & Greece

Respect for antiquity is uncommon in world history. The #Acropolis in #Athens was still in remarkably good condition when, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1687, the #Parthenon was blown up by #Venetian bombardment. The #Ottomans stored gunpowder in it during the #MoreanWar with #Venice.

Greece “cannot accept any arrangement that would require it to recognize the British Museum’s ownership of the [Parthenon] sculptures, or a scheme that would mean we ‘borrow’ parts of our own monument,” Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Thursday

Why isn’t the Parthenon straight? New research challenges the long-held idea that its famous curves were designed to correct optical illusions.

The structure's famed optical illusions are, in fact, an illusion.
