Briefly

The Parthenon in Athens, an enduring ancient site for nearly 2,500 years, continues to inspire awe despite its ruined state. Archaeologist Juan de Lara has dedicated four years to creating a 3D digital reconstruction that brings the Parthenon’s ancient beauty back to life, focusing particularly on the majestic statue of Athena Parthenos, crafted by Phidias. The reconstruction aims to reflect the architectural and artistic brilliance of the Parthenon as it once stood, especially how it would have appeared during significant festivals with dramatic lighting effects enhancing its features.
