Thanks vt, one Greek friend send it to me and it was so beautiful. I thought that it would be nice to post it here.
This shows how old some of the ideas we think of as modern really are. And proves that not only is "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" a relevant truism, it's converse "Those who cannot remember the past will be unable to repeat it" is also true.
Thanks so much for posting this, I love learning more about great monuments etc. You're very lucky to be part of this rich cultureThanks vt, one Greek friend send it to me and it was so beautiful. I thought that it would be nice to post it here.

I just loved the Parthenon video---
I was amazed by this,
I sat here absolutely transfixed for an hour-----
I had no idea of any of this story,
it really is an amazing thing that you are doing to restore the parthenon,
it is a huge job and it is a wonderful gift to the world from greece.
Thank you for sharing this with us love, very nice, -----

I saw this on television a while back. It was very interesting. It is such a shame that our past is a mystery.
Very good, imeo, and a great cultural reminder to westerners of the origins of democracy... when so often you come across irritating ignorance that such only materialised in the last 200 years (or thereabouts).

, you are so right again
Thanks for the video from a fellow Athenian! I've been to the Acropolis countless times. Whenever someone's visiting they DEMAND I give them the tour. Now, I just find a nice shady place to sit and watch tourists while my visitors make the long uphill walk.
Hi Norm,
Sounds like you have exactly the right plan in place for your visitors these days, I like it!
Welcome to the GG forum, we have a lot of fun here, as well as learning some useful things too.
Hi Norm, it was about time for a Greek man to come here!!. The last one was 4-5 months ago. I feel very good my friend that I have you here
Do Greeks still believe in all their Gods...... LOL........ Much of the English language comes from greek, as well as math, other science, philosophy and don't forget astronomy....... Most people forget the contributions to civilization that came from the Greeks...... OK, I removed it...... People are so touchy here and easily offended by a dumb joke......

I'm not Greek, I retired here from the U.S. Air Force. But having a Greek wife makes me feel Greek. It's her #1 rule and I like it! It keeps the kefi flowing!!
I see that you make jokes like a Greek man Norm, so you are a Greek, thats for sure
