Secrets of the Parthenon Trailers

For 25 centuries the Parthenon has been shot at, set on fire, rocked by earthquakes, looted for its sculptures, and disfigured by catastrophic renovations. To save it from collapse, the modern restoration team must uncover the secrets of how the ancient Greeks built this icon of western civilization in less than nine years without anything resembling an architectural plan.

Reviews
Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
MartinHafer This is a very good show about the Parthenon...perhaps the best you can find. This is because although it does talk about the history of the structure, it goes beyond that--discussing at length the amazing architectural design as well as how difficult it is to replicate the precise cuts as they try to restore the structure today. Apparently, there were a lot of mistakes with the big restoration done during the 20th century--and pieces were put together WRONG in many cases and must be corrected today. And, in an effort to create a pleasing structure to the eye, certain optical illusions were designed into it! All very interesting and a show that will keep your attention from start to finish.
