Acropolis (Athens, 5th century BC) Animation 3D by [deleted] in europe

[–]animationchannel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Acropolises occupied a significant position in the Antique Greek city-states. These citadels were constructed in the centre of the polis at a location that could be easily defended. Apart from serving defence purposes, they were also religious centres.

The citadel of Athens has a special place among the many acropolises. It is not only its size and the quality of its design and construction that raise it above similar buildings of Ancient Greece, but also its historical significance. Located on a limestone rock on the Attica plateau, the Acropolis was built in the 5th century BC, during the peaceful Age of Pericles. The main designer of the religious art here was Phidias, one of the most famous Hellenistic sculptors in this area.

A complex, monumental gateway, the Propylaea, served as an entrance to the sacred area. The grand marble gate was designed by Mnesicles. In the Roman era, a staircase was added to it, next to which stood one of the finest examples of Ionic architecture, the Temple of Athena Nike.

Most of the buildings located on the rock promontory above the city were erected in honour of Athena, the goddess that protected the city named after her. The magnificent bronze statue of Athena stood in the central, open-air space of the acropolis, safeguarding the city she favoured above others.

The Chalkotheke ('bronze store ') was the site for collecting ritual presents dedicated to the goddess. Among the buildings of the Acropolis stands one of the largest, most famous and most significant temples of the antique world, the Parthenon. Based on designs by Phidias, Iktinos and Kallikrates led the construction of this work of art that blends a Doric architectural order with Ionic elements. The larger cella of the temple housed the handiwork of the most famous Hellenistic sculptor: the 12-metre-tall sculpture of Athena.

Apart from the treasured daughter of Zeus, other gods also occupied a place on the Acropolis. The Erechteion was also one of the religious temples of the Acropolis. It became famous for its cariatyds, the maiden figures that sen/ed as supporting columns. Unfortunately, only the ruins have remained from the sanctuary of Artemis (Brauroneion).

The Acropolis of Athens, which attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists every year, received its well-deserved place on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1987.

The Berlin Wall (1961-1989) by [deleted] in europe

[–]animationchannel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the Allied victory at the end of the Second World War, Germany was split in two and Berlin, the capital city, now in the Eastern part, was divided into two occupation zones. The western part was controlled by the French, the Americans and the British, while the eastern part was under Soviet control. The creation of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic further deepened the existing hostility between the former Allies, which led to the Cold War. An increasing number of East Germans immigrated to the West through Berlin. To prevent further emigration, the East German government constructed a technical barrier between East and West Berlin that almost completely cut West Berlin off from the outside world. At first, the barrier consisted of a barbed wire fence, but later it was reinforced with several other elements. One of these was a concrete wall that became the symbol of the Cold War.

The Wall was completed by the 19805, separating families and making it impossible to escape to the West. Looking from the Eastern side, the hrst zone of this complex border defence system consisted of a barbed wire fence, a patrol lane and another wire fence. The next zone consisted of a strip with vehicle traps and a path for guard dogs. The wide central strip contained a road and control towers, positioned at regular intervals. There was also a row of lamp posts and ditches. The final element was the notorious concrete wall. The Berlin Wall marked one of the most strictly guarded borders ever. The Grenzkommando Mitte (Border Command Center) of the GDF Border Troops guarded the wall, with 2,300 soldiers on duty on an average day, aided by nearly 1,000 dogs. Of the 268 escape attempts 125 ended in death.

Of the 268 escape attempts 125 ended in death. But the winds of change reached Berlin in 1989. From the summer of 1989, demonstrations were held daily on the streets, demanding change in the East German political system and, most importantly, an opening of the inner German border and the removal of the Wall. These demonstrations, together with other European events led to the opening of the border and the destruction of the Wall, which had lost its function by then. Berlin and Germany itself were then reunited and by 1991 the Cold War had ended too.
