A Trip to Ancient Greece - September 14th, 2006 at 09:55 AM
My grandson, wife and I yook a trip to the world's ONLY full-scale replica of The Parthenon. It is located about 3 miles west of Downtown Nashville, TN, in Centennial Park. It includes as exact a reproduction of the statue of the Goddess Athena as can be made from historical accounts of the times. Here are some pictures.
THE PARTHENON
YOU MUST BE THIS TALL TO SACRIFICE A BULL TO ATHENA
ATHENA AND NIKE
ATHENA AND NIKE (With mere mortals for size comparison)
And YES, Folks, that IS REAL gold on the statue and NOT gold Paint.
