Chapter 1250 Acropolis of Athens
Jin Jingcheng reached out and rubbed Han Jiaren's head, and smiled and said, "Because I have more knowledge than you."
Han Jiaren snorted, but she had to admit this in her heart.
The black luxury car that Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren were riding in was Kors' own car, and Kors was currently driving in the driver's seat.
After seeing that Han Jiaren was very interested in Hadrian's Arch, Khos deliberately slowed down the car and specifically asked Han Jiaren and Jin Jingcheng to look at this ancient door for a while.
Han Jiaren asked Jin Jingcheng: "Do you know the origin of this door?"
Jin Jingcheng nodded: "I know."
Han Jiaren couldn't wait to say, "Tell me quickly."
Jin Jingcheng smiled playfully and thought to himself that even a woman like Han Jiaren would feel particularly excited when traveling to a place like Athens and would show her posture as a little woman.
Immediately, Jin Jingcheng briefly explained Hadrian's Arch to Han Jiaren.
Hadrian's Arch was the Arc de Triomphe of the Roman era. It was built by Emperor Hadrian in 131 AD. At that time, the architectural arch divided the city into two new and old districts. To the east is the new urban area expanded by Emperor Hadrian, and to the west is the ancient urban area.
After listening to Jin Jingcheng's explanation, Han Jiaren exclaimed: "Jingcheng, I didn't expect you to know Athens so well."
Jin Jingcheng showed a little complacent and thought silently: "Of course we should understand it in advance. When a man shows rich knowledge in front of a woman, he is often very charming and heart-warming."
Kors, who was driving, couldn't help but praise Jin Jingcheng: "Boss, you are so awesome."
Jin Jingcheng smiled and said, "Are you flattering me?"
Khos said: "No, it's the truth. Now many of us Greeks don't understand Hadrian's Arch."
Behind Hadrian's Arch is the modern city of Athens.
And when the black limousine bypassed Hadrian's Arch, it reached the foot of the Acropolis of Athens.
The Acropolis of Athens is the most outstanding ancient building complex in Greece, a comprehensive public building, the center of religious politics, with an area of about 4 square kilometers. It is located on the hills of the Acropolis in the center of Athens. It was built in 580 BC. The earliest buildings in the Acropolis were the Temple of Athena and other religious buildings. The Acropolis of Athens, also known as Acropolis in Athens, originally meant "a city on a high place" or "a city-state on a high hill".
Since he had planned to be Han Jiaren in advance, Jin Jingcheng would do this glorious "job", so he took the initiative to explain to Han Jiaren about the Acropolis.
After hearing this, Han Jiaren became more interested and said to Jin Jingcheng: "I want to go and see the Acropolis of Athens."
Jin Jingcheng asked: "Now?"
Han Jiaren nodded: "Well, now."
Jin Jingcheng nodded: "That's OK."
Anyway, I’m not in a hurry, so I’ll have a tour of the Acropolis of Athens first, and then take Han Jiaren to the hotel.
So, Jin Jingcheng greeted Kors who were driving: "Mr. Kors, please stop here. My girlfriend and I want to go to the Acropolis of Athens first."
Kim Jingcheng and Kors communicated in English. In addition, Kim Jingcheng let Kors know in advance that Han Jiaren was his girlfriend. There was no way. This time Kim Jingcheng and Han Jiaren's travel itinerary in Greece were all arranged by Kors, so it was inevitable that he would know that Kim Jingcheng told Kors in advance, and of course Kors would not spread such things casually.
Kors hurriedly parked the car at the foot of the Acropolis of Athens, so Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren got off the car together. Under the leadership of Kors, the three of them walked towards the Acropolis of Athens on the hill. Jin Jingcheng's assistant, bodyguard and Kors's entourage followed the three of them, deliberately separated by a distance.
At the foot of the Acropolis, Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren saw a row of tall and neat marble.
After getting on a platform, Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren's vision became much wider. At this time, looking up the hill, you could already see the Parthenon and the Adicus Concert Hall.
The Parthenon is the main building of the Acropolis of Athens, and is also the most famous building of the Acropolis of Athens. It is also one of the seven world-famous ancient wonders. It can be said to be the earliest ancient temple in the West and even the world. It appeared 430 years before the emergence of Christianity. It was a temple of primitive religion. The temple was 70 meters long and 31 meters wide. It is surrounded by 48 Dorian columns. Each column is 10 meters high and 2 meters in diameter. It has a total area of 12oo square meters, which is about 13 of Notre Dame de Paris, but it is 15oo years earlier.
On the limestone hills, there is a towering Parthenon, standing at the highest point of the acropolis. However, this temple has undergone more than two thousand years of vicissitudes. Now the top of the temple has collapsed, the statues are gone, and the reliefs are severely eroded. However, the temple's appearance can also be seen from the towering colonnade.
Located on the south side of the entrance to the Acropolis of Athens, the Adicus Concert Hall was built in the Roman era. It is an outdoor theater with a capacity of more than 6ooo people. In the summer of the 21st century, there are still performances held here. The concert hall is a three-story architectural structure with a semicircular theater with a diameter of 38 meters. At any point, you can hear the actors' lines and music seats on the stage clearly.
Today is September 1st, and it is noon at this time, so there is no performance in the Adicus Concert Hall.
Under the leadership of Kors, Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren continued to admire the ancient buildings in the Acropolis of Athens.
For example, the Temple of the Goddess of Victory, which is also known as the Temple of the Goddess of Wingless Victory. Athena is the goddess of wisdom, skills and war in Greek mythology. She competed with the sea god Poseidon for Athens and became the patron god of Athens.
The Temple of the Goddess of Victory is located next to the southern wing of the front gate of the Acropolis of Athens. It is a beautiful temple with Ionian columns. Legend has it that in order to keep victory forever, Athenian citizens cut off the wings of the Goddess of Victory. This temple has experienced the rise and fall of the rise and fall of the temple and the war. The British dismantled many reliefs in the 17th century, and by the 21st century, there were only a few 11-meter-high cylinders left.
For example, Artemis Temple. Artemis is the Moon God and the Goddess of Hunting in Greek mythology. Artemis Temple was originally a place where the goddess Artemis was worshipped, and there are also square earthen platforms on the left.
For example, ha1kothk is a building located on the north side of the Temple of Victory of Athena. It is a storage place for weapons and bronze. There is a staircase leading to the balcony in front of the Parthenon. This is also the place where sacrifices are placed.
For example, the Temple of Erechthus was built in 4o6 BC. It is located opposite the Parthenon. It is an beautifully built Ioni Temple, which combines the two halls of Athena and the sea god Posettedon.
For example, the Acropolis Museum is located in the southeast corner of the Acropolis and was completed in 1878. In order to make the height of the museum less than the ancient buildings on the Acropolis Mountain, the museum was built by digging up soil layers. In addition to bronzes and Greek ancient bottles preserved by the National Museum, all cultural relics unearthed from the temples of the Acropolis Mountain in 1834 are preserved here, including "the man carrying a calf", "the barefoot winged goddess of victory" and four pillars of the temple statue of the Irektion Temple stored in nitrogen tanks. This museum provides valuable information for the study and exhibition of ancient Greek sculpture art.
For example, the Temple of Irektion, behind the mountain gate, the Temple of Irektion was built in 395 BC. There is a wooden statue of Athena inside. The six female pillars on the south side of the temple are Ioni-style deformations. The beautiful female pillars seen in the 21st century are perfectly structured, so they will not cause unnatural visual appearances. However, these are not genuine products. Due to air pollution, they are replaced by replicas. To see the authentic products, you can find the Acropolis Museum and the British Museum in London...
