3/8

Today in class Mr.Schick wasn't there, and we watched more of the movie that we've been watching for the past two days, this part didn't have as much information as the other two, but it still talked about some interesting things I thought would be important to jot down. For example, Parody's wanted a city that was fit to Roman Empire, so he created the Parthonon  which would now be home to Athena, who originally live in Acropolis. To create the Parthonon it required 20,000 tons of marble, which would cost over a billion dollars in todays money, not to mention it took years to build. Inside of the building, there was a statue of Athena that survived over 2,000 years. Also, Athens was the heart of a cultural revolution. Lastly, in 429 B.C. Paraclys died.
