According to the pre-planned stay, the group only stayed in Athens for two days, so they had to speed up their visit, which looked a bit like a sightseeing.

But for Ye Tian, it was not like that.

He had been to Athens for a few years and had visited most of the historical sites and tourist attractions in the ancient city.

These include the Acropolis Museum and the Parthenon at the top of the Acropolis.

What's more, at this time, he has a perspective ability, and he seems to be looking at the flowers, but he has a full view of every grass, tree, brick and tile here, and has not let go of any corner or detail.

Even the secrets hidden deep underground and unknown to the public, as well as the many antique artworks that radiated bright light, did not escape his eyes and were seen clearly by him.

It is fair to say that after this visit, no one can compare with him in his knowledge of the Acropolis Museum, including his old friend Pendemaris.

After visiting the ground floor of the Acropolis Museum, the group walked along a glass passage to the middle exhibition hall.

Located on the middle floor, these rooms are double-height and supported by numerous towering reinforced concrete columns, which look spectacular.

Most of the antiques on display in these rooms are from the Hellenistic and Hellenistic periods, and most of them were excavated around the Acropolis, but some from Athens and other parts of Greece.

There are sculptures of ancient Greek medicine, a restored model of the Dionysian theater, a statue of the boy of Critos, a colonnade of maidens from the Temple of Erechtion, and a contemplative Athena.

Every exhibit, every sculpture, and even every remaining building component on display here is of extraordinary value, telling people about the glorious history and civilization of ancient Greece.

Walking through this exhibition hall is like walking into the long river of history, walking into a treasure house of ancient Greek civilization, and everything that appears in front of you is full of reverie.

After visiting the middle exhibition hall, Pendemaris led Ye Tian and his party to the upper exhibition hall and introduced them to the upper exhibition hall.

"The upper floor of the Acropolis Museum is a square Parthenon with a courtyard, the interior of which is identical to the Parthenon nave on the top of the Acropolis.

The exterior of the exhibition hall is fully transparent tempered glass, which provides the ideal light for the exhibits displayed inside, and from the inside of the exhibition hall, you can look up to see the Parthenon on the top of the Acropolis.

And vice versa, standing in the Parthenon, you can also see the situation in the exhibition hall, echoing each other from afar, standing in this Parthenon exhibition hall, you can also see the panoramic view of the Acropolis, and the view is excellent!

Most of the antiques on display in this room come from the Parthenon on the top of the Acropolis, which was part of the temple, and some from the ruins of the Acropolis."

As they spoke, they arrived at the entrance to the Parthenon exhibition hall.

On the east and west sides of the entrance of this exhibition hall, there are many quaint stone carvings on display, some of which look very dilapidated and cracked, but they reveal a historical atmosphere.

Pendemaris turned his words around, pointed to the stone sculptures, and said:

The triangular frieze carvings in front of you are from the Parthenon and other historical sites of the Acropolis, depicting the birth of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and the struggle between Athena and Poseidon for the patron saint of Athens.

In ancient Greek mythology, when Athens was first founded by a Phoenician, Poseidon and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, both wanted to be the protector of the great city, and a battle ensued.

The main god Zeus ruled that whoever could give the Athenians something as useful would own the city and become the protector of Athens, and Poseidon conjured a war horse by striking the ground with a trident.

And Athena struck the rock with her spear, and an olive tree grew on the rock, a symbol of peace and prosperity. The Athenians chose Athena, and from then on, the city was named Athens.

The Parthenon, built between 447 and 432 B.C., celebrates the victory of Athens over the Persian invaders, and is dedicated to the goddess Athena."

As soon as his words fell, a female employee standing on Ye Tian's left hand immediately said:

"Mr. Curator, it is said that the carvings of the Parthenon came from the hands of Phidios, the head of the three great sculptors of ancient Greece, that is, the god of classical carving, are these exquisite stone carvings in front of you all his works?"

Pendemaris looked at the female employee, then smiled and shook her head and said:

"The carving and decoration of the Parthenon was indeed carried out by Phidias, the god of classical carving, but this was a large-scale systematic project, and even Phidias could not have done it alone.

After countless historians and artists, it is almost certain that the statue of Athena, which was once enshrined in the Parthenon, is indeed the work of Phidias, but unfortunately the statue no longer exists.

However, through some replicas from the Roman period and later, we can still feel the greatness of Phedias, the god of classical carving, and his incomparable and amazing carving skills.

The other carvings inside and outside the Parthenon, including the stone carvings in front of you, were done by other sculptors and craftsmen of the same era under the direction of Phidias, and the shadow of Phidias can be faintly seen.

Although these stone carvings are not the work of Phidias, they are also very beautiful and significant, and each stone sculpture here is a rare antique work of art and has extraordinary artistic value."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded slightly.

Next, we approached the ancient, faded and dilapidated marble sculptures and listened to Pendemaris's introduction, and reveled in their admiration.

On these stone carvings, we see the birth of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, the war between Athena and Poseidon, the god of the sea, and the past and present life of Athens, a historic city.

Walking forward, a faded stone tablet records the first time in human history that a government has made its finances public, and on several other broken stone carvings, the rhythm of ancient Greek characters is clearly visible.

The myths and legends of ancient Greece, the inhabitants of the city-state, the wars and peaces, and the long history and culture are all whispered here, in the form of carvings, to the people of today, thousands of years later.

Before you know it, more than an hour has passed.

Ye Tian and the others had finished visiting the Acropolis Museum and left there, and were walking along the central passage of the Acropolis Mountain Gate towards the Acropolis Square located at the top of the hill.

The moment they stepped on the last step and entered the Acropolis Square, the tall and grand, but also quaint and desolate Parthenon suddenly broke into everyone's field of vision.

Although everyone has seen the ruins of this famous temple from different angles before, many people, including Ye Tian, have also come to Athens and admired the Parthenon up close.

However, when everyone saw this world-famous ancient Greek temple building again, they were still very shocked, and they couldn't help but stop and admire it quietly.

A few of them, who were visiting Athens for the first time and seeing the Parthenon for the first time, were particularly excited, as if they had made a pilgrimage here.

It's not hard to understand that the Parthenon and the adjacent Erechtion Temple are recognized symbols of Western culture, and it's not unusual for these excited guys to behave like this because they are Westerners and have a special job!

Of course, this does not include Ye Tian.

He looked at the Parthenon, but it was a different feeling, more like a spectator from another civilization that was equally brilliant, amazed and admired, but not at all pilgrimage.

After a moment of intoxication, everyone came to their senses, and then walked out towards the Parthenon, which stood on the right side of the Acropolis Square.

At this time, it was about half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining, the sky was blue, and there was a light breeze on the top of the mountain.

The midday sun poured down from the sky and cast a shadow on the tall and majestic Parthenon, as if to give the ancient and dilapidated temple a sacred halo.

Especially against the backdrop of the clear blue sky, this world-famous temple is even more magnificent and dignified.

Its dilapidated body, scattered architectural components, and especially the carvings and decorations throughout the building are extremely delicate and charming, and it is dazzling to look at.

Thanks to the colonnade around the Parthenon, the interior and exterior of the building are integrated, and the sunlight shining on the temple naturally gives a warm and intimate feeling.

Looking at the Parthenon in front of you, you even have the feeling that the spirit of freedom and folk cooking in ancient Greece seems to have been vividly expressed here.

As he walked towards the Parthenon, Ye Tian had replaced Pendemaris, and as he walked forward, he introduced the temple to his security guards and company employees.

The Parthenon, the main building of the Acropolis, was built between 447 and 432 BC to commemorate the victory of Athens over the Persian invaders, designed by Ictinor and Carriclitus.

Phidias, the head of the three major sculptors of ancient Greece, was responsible for the carving and decoration of this temple, and the 12-meter-high statue of Athena that was once enshrined in the inner temple of the temple was made by Phidias.

It is a rectangular classical building with a circumference of nearly 200 meters, and the temple has a front hall, a main hall, and an apse, and the temple base covers an area of 2,300 square feet, the size of half a football field.

The temple was supported by forty-six marble columns of thirty-four feet high, which were designed and built to represent the highest level of ancient Greek architecture,......"

As he spoke, everyone had come to the front of the Parthenon, and they all tilted their heads slightly, stopping to admire.

Ye Tian also stopped talking, admiring this world-famous classical building, his eyes hidden behind his sunglasses, and from time to time they swept to the ground.

At this time, if someone can see his eyes through sunglasses, they will definitely find a color of surprise, even greed, and deep regret.

While Ye Tian and the others were admiring the Parthenon, the other tourists who were also on the Acropolis Square were all looking at them, and their eyes were full of curiosity and a little frightened.
