A lot more than just art history but I appreciate the depth of analysis all the same

this set is the very PINNACLE of Greek artistic creation, in this case, in Asia and "Hellenistic"

Very interesting reference is written in the Bible about this altar and the city itself. This art has a bigger meaning.

A Turkish crime fiction writer named Ahmet Ümit wrote a book including this magnificent altar. A detective novel intertwined with mythology. Be sure to read it when translated into English. I hope it will return to its real home one day, because the altar of zeus is a wonderful thing to discover in its historical place. The name in Turkish is the land of the lost gods (of the book).

Were the vertical divides in the frieze there from the beginning or are they from the Prussians cutting and moving it?

Loved this video! It was very straight to the point. I only wished the commentary was a little bit slower, but nonetheless great vid.

Me encantaría saber porqué los subtitulos en castellano se cortan en lo más interesante.... Una lástima no poder entender todo su análisis. Es muy interesante. Gracias

I feel like the figures spilled to germany...never to return

[cliff_see]

Is this a replica? Or or the real frieze?

It's sad to compare the ugly buildings we are building in London to these beautiful ancient cities, we need to build for beauty again, not just for profit
