When I went to visit Greece, I arrived at the airport and during the ride to Athens, asked the driver where the Parthenon was. He pointed ahead. I saw a golden pillared temple in the distance on a hill, lit by the rising sun. My breath was taken away. I studied Greek art and philosophy and this was the best vacation I ever had in my life. The ancient history along with the friendly people and beautiful islands were unmatched.

Fun fact, the roof was blown off during the 1687 Turkish-Venetian wars as the Turks were using the Parthenon as a place to store their black powder and the Venetians shot a cannon ball into it! Kaboom!

The pillers look like bomb shrapnel hit them during WW2! Before that, there weren't weapons destructive enough to put dents into those pillers.
