I was haunting the finish carpentry forum of one of my favorite construction sites JLC Online last night when I ran across an interesting thread. It seems that the Parthenon has been a restoration project for the last 40 years with no end in sight yet. What’s amazing is the fact that the Parthenon itself was built in a mere 8 years to a mind boggling precision level that we can’t seem to match. Anyway, this Nova episode goes into not only the incredible capabilities of ancient Greek engineers, but also the mysteries surrounding how they did it. Unbelievable and great watch too. Here’s the link to the Hulu stream:
