I would love to know how old the Nashville and real Parthenons are.
I'd also love some survey data of the Nashville one to compare it to the Athenian.

Until I saw this thread I had no idea it was a thing so I can't comment on Nashville, but the Athenian structure has some pretty wow'ful things baked into it which scream the mathematics and geodesy of the civilization(s) that left the same fingerprints everywhere.

The short side is near as damn 1 second of earth arc (in english feet / inches)
60 of those is a nautical mile or 1 minute of arc.
It's so close that even modern satellite measure has difficulty at that resolution what with earth being an oblate spheroid.

Surveyed side: 101.233 ft, Modern Nautical mile/60: 101.268 ft.
Difference: effectively nothing, even in the age of Elon Musk chucking crap into space.

Not satisfied with shouting out their geodetic knowledge with the size of their front porch, the builder(s) took it a step further.









7920(ft) is one of those geodetic numbers you find popping up all over the place.
That'd be pretty much the number of miles in the equatorial diameter of the Earth.

You rarely find 7920 without it's friend 5040.
Plato liked that number. He speaks about it in 'Laws'. I wont bore you with it here, but this is a good article on the geometry of 5040 and 7920.

As it related to Nashville, if the statue of Athena is quoted as 42 feet, that's 504 inches.

It would be nice to find out how close Nashville came to the Athenian one.
Was it peoples of the same skill level, or mere imitators who are enabled with some / all of the knowledges of these master architects & builders.

I plan to visit Nashville Downtown and spend a full day if possible and take some photos; the photo of the Victory Statue has the Goddess "Nicki" in the hand as our friends who research Antiquity in Russia call her !!! The bottom line is that Nashville with its one Victory Statue is just as good as any other Antiquity City anywhere in the world !!! And worth exploring !!!

Well it is the new Hollywood. We used to go there all of the time and always had grand adventures. The people there are quite individual and many go there to make it big. I’m sure its an old Masonic stronghold.

came across this book about Civil War Forts on archive.org ... describes Nashville as a place with weapons manufacturing, railroad center and strategic link between north and south ... there is also a illustration of Fort Henry which was a Star Fortress ... i am starting to think that in the past Nashville was important ... Centennial Exhibition held after conquest to display the spoils ... went into oblivion ... in 1988 there was just one snow truck in Nashville ... started growing after Phil Bredesen brought the football team ... it is a good book to read ... feels like the author was right there with both sides of the Civil War warring troops ... observing everything and taking really detailed notes ... much better than the embedded journalists of the 2004 Iraq War ...

That pyramid nearby is pretty big. Too bad they didn't keep that around.

What is that thing at the bottom center of the third photo? It looks like some sort of dial with a black ball center. A black sun, perhaps? The dial seems to have some sort of depictions too. Anyone know what it is?

In this thread, a full-scale replica of the Parthenon in Nashville. Originally built of "plaster, wood and brick" for the 1897 Tennessee International Exposition, it was later rebuilt from concrete in the 1920s.

In 1990 a full-size statue of Athena was installed, based on the statue of Athena in the original Parthenon.

But as cool as all this might be, seeing the below image on Wikipedia is what convinced me to post it. This is a picture of the architect...

the fourth photo ... the building to the right does not appear on the Centennial Map ... what is the narrative on that ...

Even the simplest of the contemporary ramblers will have a book of blueprints and various other documents accompanying it. I am not talking about various code requirements and such.

I have not seen any such documentation yet. Any older building I’ve put in a public disclosure request for, yielded a fire escape plan (created years after the construction) at best.

• Who built Holy Names Academy building in Seattle?
• Who built Stadium High School in Tacoma, WA?

There is a reason why these original project documents are not available for inspection.

There are hunderds of thousands of these buildings out there. Where are the original documents? These buildings are not that old, some were allegedly built in the 20th century.

As far as photographs go, it’s not enough to slap a scaffolding to a building. Any construction is a process, and this process of creation is missing.

Yep. Most of what we see are refacing, defacing or effacing, I'm pretty sure. Even the fairs.
Even though raping and pillaging are traditions from time out of mind, and they grounded balloons and zeppelins to prevent exploration and nosing around before they could get there by rails (also finding and rebuilding), somebody must have had a map.
All of our earlier pioneers and explorers who they named various territories and districts after... Probably had maps they were cross checking with their excursions.
I also think the buildings used to have different styles, which they replaced with "all roads lead to...", which is exactly what our worldwide history is NOW (NWO). ROME. Dead ends at the STURCH. We might as well not even try to look back past that.

This thing just keeps on cracking me up: 10 Stunning Photos Of The Parthenon Construction In Nashville

LOL. Where are the construction photographs?

This made me lol in the link you posted

"The statue of Athena and the Ionic Frieze that surround the walls were proposed to be completed after the interior was recreated in 1931, but the Great Depression caused the project to be postponed indefinitely."

Wasn't the Hoover Dam "constructed" that same year?! Hoover > Athena
First reply/post so im not sure if i did this right. Love the website!
