Presentation description: During the 19th century there was something of a cultural Renaissance right here in the Hudson Valley region. America’s first world-class literature appeared. We also saw the birth of American landscape architecture. Most importantly, led by Thomas Cole, we saw the appearance of the Hudson River School of Art. In short, our region became the center of a truly important cultural movement. None of this, we argue, would ever have happened if the Hudson Valley and Catskills had not been so heavily glaciated. We take our readers to see how the glaciers created the landscapes that so inspired the great artists of those times. Then we look down into the greater Hudson Valley region. First it is filled with ice but later it is filled with the glacial meltwaters of something called Lake Albany and other glacial lakes throughout the region. Those waters drained away and platforms composed of lake sediment emerged. When the Livingston family came along, on the east bank of the Hudson, they built their mansions upon those platforms. Their architects designed the grounds so that scenic views were opened up. These are called planned views, and they became central to landscape architecture as it developed all across America. Knowing the ice age history that inspired all the arts of the Hudson Valley will help you appreciate them so much more. That is our goal. Bios: Robert and Johanna Titus are, respectively, retired professors of Geology and Biology. They are best known in the Catskills as popular science writers. Over the years they have written for several regional magazines, including Kaatskill Life and Tri-County Historical Reviews. They currently write for local newspapers as well: the Mountain Eagle and the Columbia Paper. They are the authors of five books on Catskills and Hudson Valley geology. The Titus’s are frequently invited to present PowerPoint lectures on their research and have been seen on television and heard on radio. They have a Facebook page (“The Catskill Geologist”), a blog site (“thecatskillgeologist.com”) and can be contacted at randjtitus@prodigy.net.

It is an important historical heritage of ancient Greek culture and is worth visiting. If you go, it is best to learn about the culture in advance or find a guide. If you go by yourself, you will just take a quick look and may not be able to understand the interesting things in history. The only thing you need to pay attention to is not to bring any equipment related to commercial photography, which may be temporarily confiscated when you enter the park. Secondly, do not touch the marble, even if it is not fenced off. There are staff who are always watching and reminding tourists not to touch the marble.

Acropolis Museum

Museums

千帆尽处无夕阳

The biggest feature of the Acropolis Museum is her spatial design, which is equivalent to making the Acropolis as a whole a space easy. Standing in front of the huge glass curtain, watching the Acropolis ruins, it is like a space conversion. The sculpture art of ancient Greece is indeed inextricably added. My favorite is the maiden column of the Poseidon Temple; it is said that everyone has been visiting the Acropolis Museum for a long time before a sculpture. It is a pity that my stay is too short. I suggest you leave more time for the Acropolis Museum for at least half a day.

The Athens Archaeological Museum is the largest museum in Greece, with a collection of nearly 20,000 pieces, covering prehistoric to late ancient artifacts, and is the epitome of ancient Greek civilization. It is worth seeing, but unfortunately there is no Chinese explanation... Seeing favorite collections can only understand history with translation software...

Parthenon

环球史蒂夫

Theater of Herodes Atticus and Caryatids and Parthenon
However, the Caryatids in the Acropolis are not authentic. The authentic ones are in the nearby Acropolis Museum and... the British Museum

Like most Greek temples, this temple was also used as a treasury.
1. It was built in 447 BC to replace the old Parthenon (destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC).
2. For a while, it was the treasury of the Delian League (which later evolved into the Athenian Empire).
3. In the 6th century AD, the Parthenon was converted into a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary (the original Athena was also a virgin).
4. In the early 1460s, after being conquered by the Ottoman Turks, it was used as a mosque.
5. It was used as a gunpowder magazine by the Turkish army in 1687 and was unfortunately severely damaged in an explosion.
6. By 1800, only half of the Parthenon statues survived. After obtaining approval from the Ottoman government, British Ambassador Sir Elgin began to transport half of the surviving statues back to Britain at his own expense starting in 1801, and they began to be exhibited in the British Museum in 1817.

Although it is a site under restoration, you can still feel the weight of history. The ticket inspector did not immediately recognize the admission voucher. He looked at it for a long time and asked why there was no price displayed. We explained and finally got in.
