Reproduction of Athena Parthenos
Construction of the Parthenon began in 447 BC after the orders of the Athenian statesman Pericles. Construction was completed 15 years later. Athena Parthenos, the most renowned image of Athens, stood in the temple with the serpent of Erichthonius at her feet, the head of Medusa on her breast, and a pair of serpents around her waist. The statue was over 37 feet tall (11.5 meters) and the gold weighed about 1,000 kg (2,400 lbs). The entrance to the main temple was through the east main door.
This replica, modeled after the original statue that once appeared in the former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, took eight years to complete, and is the largest piece of indoor sculpture in the Western World. @GreekLeague

From Thursday's protests against the tyranny.
The context of the the protests is that the government wants to impose what's essentially medical apartheid in all businesses, and mandatory vaccinations for experimental vaccines.
For the former, you'll need a "COVID pass" in order to get freely to a store or a cafeteria. If you're unvaccinated, you'll need a negative PCR, rapid or self test.
For the latter it's obvious: the government is blackmailing people to get the death shot.

🇫🇷🏳🌈 MACRON LAUNCHES LGBT CRUSADE AGAINST POLAND AND HUNGARY
Translated in 🇬🇧🇭🇺🇵🇱🇷🇺 (see pictures)
👉🏻 President Macron said he was outraged by the Hungarian authorities' decision to ban campaigns targeting minors and promoting homosexuality.
🇪🇺 Macron affirmed that the defense of LGBT people was part of the fundamental and founding values of the European Union : the right of children to have their sex surgically removed is to be inscribed among the ultimate values of the Union.
🏳️🌈 Also, Macron was very virulent in a video, calling for a real "LGBT crusade" against Eastern European countries that refuse to expose their children to the LGBT community.
📌 Macron said that :
🗣️ "The EU must [bypass the Polish and Hungarian governments] and work directly with Polish and Hungarian NGOs. The EU needs to be more present in the press in these countries to promote those who defend European ideas [such as LGBT rights]."

/GBG/🟢 Turks should make up their minds, their Defense Minister constantly says that weapons owned by Greece are useless, yet the government says it threatens Turkey. This is not to mention the fact that the referred treaties do not call for total demilitarization but predict that Greece can have some military forces there as long as there is no increasing military presence

🔴 the Cistern of Philoxenos, measures around 64 x 56 meters and had a capacity of around 40,000 cubic meters of water. It is a man-made subterranean reservoir in Constantinople, situated between the Forum of Constantine and the Hippodrome of Constantinople
🔸 The cistern was restored by Justinian I in the 6th century, after the palace was completely destroyed in a fire in 475. After the conquest of the city by the Ottomans in 1453, the cistern fell into disuse, and was forgotten until rediscovered during the construction of Fazli Pasha's palace on the same site in the 17th century
🔸 Recently new lighting was installed and its vaults were made more visible
