I thought it was very interesting. I dont think you should say that pple should bug off if they dont find it interesting because that would just earn people's disrespect for you. But I love the history of everyone's culture and I respect them too. Am also happy you got your dream. I will go someday too. have a nice day.
Buying from the Turkish conqueror was no different than buying from Hitler, French artworks, stolen by Nazis in occupied France
Those artifacts were returned to France, no?
I think that the conservative ruling class of Britain embarrasses its nation and especially the British people who are ethical and respect whats right and most importantly, whose majority wants the return of the stolen artworks
They are spending a lot of money,time and people,because they want to make,with the help of modern technology, what the ancient greeks had done in the past...
I respect them,their country,music,people,history ,etc. OO,and JimmyTheGreek2000 is right! Happy for your dream come true...I was there too:X:X:X LONG LIVE GREECE!
Hey Hugh!I know the feeling you had when you enter the Propileea, I know how it feels when you are so close to the thing you had wanted to see.... ,but you know,if the Greek State don't make the things that are necessary for the restauration of this Great and Beautiful Piece of Art of The Ancient World( Greece) it will soon be gone forever!!
great video Hugh..feels really good to see that people love to get outside of their "frontiers" and make their dreams true,and also loved how you interacted with this great symbolic monument!!
NA SE KALA FILE MOU(i hope you learned some greek expressions here in athens :D)
it's easy to see that you really care about archeology and i am envious of that. it makes me really regret studying mass communications when i really should have pursued paleontology instead. that is my one life regret, not studying my one true passion. keep living the dream, it gives us all hope!
I know you made this last year...but this is a very inspirational video for anyone!!! I hope to go spain someday just so I can study Flamenco there!!! HAH the ending was hilarious!
Very kool I am actually Greek and born in Athens now I wish i had the chance to see it and be there at the Parthenon. When I get another vacation i am going back to Greece and I am ganna cheack everything out especially the Greek candy
i do ancient history at school and love it, and Archaeology was something that i had only thought about. and im sick of seeing all these awesome places on videos. i want to leave brissy and go!!
hey hugh, this is a great video. glad to hear that you got to fullfill your dream of going inside... and thanks for the advice on not going on a tour group to c something like that. love the vids, bye
I just want to say congrats because I love seeing people happy and I can see this made you very happy. I know that this was a wile ago but I am still happy for you. I hope there are more happy events like this one for you in your future.
hi!i live in athens right now and i assure you each time i visit parthenon i have this feeling that i can't describe.i'm proud that our ancestors managed to build this masterpiece to last until now (imagine from the 5th century B.C. until the 21st!we are now in 2007!) the machinery there by the way is for its preservation but i agree that this image does not suit to parthenon!it makes me sad that it's threatened by air pollution
Very cool vid. Could you message me with the soundtrack info? You chose good music for documentary backup. I never knew about the resotoration; there must be mixed feelings about it amongst the Archeological community. I was going to show this to my grade 6 students next year (we study ancient Greece), but the end was kind of whack-o. I think you were being sarcastic, as you were hammered, but...hmm. Anyways, I will probably show the first 8 minutes.
Do more of these - it great to share experiences. It's a nice alternative to the usual straight films and commentaries. There is more of a feel to what it would be like to visit.
You're an inspiration Hugh! I just got back last week from Mexico seeing all those Mayan ruins... Greece and Rome are dreams of mine that hopefully someday I'll see! ....But I'll be one of those losers far back in the distance! :*(
I wish i was as passionate about something as you are about , that. (goes to wikipedia), yea yeah, built 500 bc. fascinating. the colosseum and amphitheaters have always fascinated me
oh I get it, just because I'm not cultured like you I must be some sort of barbarian! i appreciate it for its acoustical precision. gladiator the movie sucked :p also, wikipedia said it was 500bc. this obviously proves you wrong
wait i dont know if i should believe this. you didnt actually go in, was that a hint? hmmm that looked like a greek bar i used to go to called "The Part E NOne". JK
four years man...i'm sorry but i liked this.

Hugh, congrats for your sentiment and video
This is a pure case of buying stolen goods
Buying from the Turkish conqueror was no different than buying from Hitler, French artworks, stolen by Nazis in occupied France
Those artifacts were returned to France, no?
I think that the conservative ruling class of Britain embarrasses its nation and especially the British people who are ethical and respect whats right and most importantly, whose majority wants the return of the stolen artworks
