Athens
where old collides with the new covered with secrets from the past
an ancient world where you can still hear the birds sing the old songs
and timeless ideals that still stand to this very day
watch out for the dog
Athens is the heart of the ancient Greece the birthplace of the pillars of democracy
where temples were built to praise the lost gods and goddesses of yesteryear
the Parthenon was constructed in 447 BC during the Athenian empire after the statesman and general
proclethius persuaded an assembly of 6000 men to vote for the rebuild of the Acropolis
it took almost 15 years to build and the Parthenon still stands on the hill for almost 2,500 years
to celebrate the goddess of war Athena
it is known that a larger-than-life Athena statue once resided inside the temple
Athena the protector brave and wise she has stood against the sands of time
these monuments that overlook the city day in and day out the celestial bodies that look
down from the heavens to observe and the sun and moon dance across the
sky in wonderment of the beauty on the earthly soil there's beauty in it all
many people have come to these grounds to visit the Parthenon its structure is
magnificent the columns the ratios everything with symmetry
remember that the soul doesn't understand time but the body does and the body fades
the buildings of what once was fades with it
Athens reminds us that beauty resides in the imperfections the cracks and those details are
infinite
in Athens, you will see the ancient structures along with graffiti of today
Morden culture of today has put a stamp on Athens but that too will wash away
let's follow this kayaker into the mediterranean sea
here we see the mediterranean sea take a look around and watch the waves lap against the shore
and I bet you might even see Hugh walking around playing with a VR camera in the back
the water is crystal clear and it's different shades of blue
like a sphinx in the night Athena rises in the moonlight again and again
thank you for joining me on this journey through Athens we hope to see you in the next city
