Six girls in long skirts are graceful, with different expressions and vivid images, showing the superb skills of Greek artists 2,500 years ago. The second root on the left is the real root in the British Museum. Hadrian's Arch Hadrian's Arch has two inscriptions on the edge of its frame, one on each side. The side facing the Acropolis reads: This is Athens, the ancient city of theseus. On the other hand, facing the new town in the opposite direction, the inscription reads: This is Hadrian's city, not Hughes' city. This famous building is supported by Corinthian crown pilaster. Today, Hadrian Arch is still a symbol of the entrance to Athens. There are 15 huge columns directly behind, which are the famous ruins of Zeus temple.
The temple of Zeus, which once had 104 beautiful Corinthian columns, has now become a messy and overgrown ruin. The Olympia Temple is in the northeast of Hadrian Arch, and you will reach the famous Olympia Temple. The temple of Zeus in Olympia and Hadrian's arch stand on the same huge platform. The Temple of Zeus in Olympia is the oldest temple in Athens and the largest at that time.
The temple was built in 5 15 BC, but it was not completed until the reign of Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century. It is said that there were 104 Corinthian cylinders before it was destroyed. The original pillars in the temple were decorated with gold and ivory according to Zeus' design. Zeus, the Greek god of gods, is the main god of Olympia. The statue of Zeus built for sacrifice is the largest indoor statue in the world, and the temple of Zeus where the statue of Zeus is located is the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Byzantine Philo wrote and described these seven wonders. He said: We are proud of the other six wonders, but we are afraid of the statue of Zeus.
The temple of Zeus was the religious center of ancient Greece. The temple is located in the southeast of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, in the middle of a vast flat land along the Rizos River, controlled by Zeus, the god of ancient Greek gods. Now, this place is full of hills in Huang Chengcheng, but in ancient Greece, it was surrounded by green valleys and clear streams with elegant scenery. Not far away, there is a lush forest. On both sides of Haoer in the forest, there were flowers and trees, which was the religious center at that time. In ancient Greece, it was located outside the walls of Athens. During Hadrian's period, in order to expand the scale of Athens, the city walls extended outward and the temples merged into the city.
The Temple of Athena, also known as Wingless Victory Temple, was built in 42 BC1year. There are four Ionian pillars in front and back, and there is a winged statue of Athena inside. It is said that the Athenians who fought for victory in the war deliberately cut off the wings of the goddess of victory in order to maintain the glory of victory. The temple of Athena is also related to a fairy tale.
Prince theseus and his father King Egers, after successfully killing Minotaur Minotaur in Crete, agreed to change the sail of the ship to white to show their victory. However, the prince forgot this agreement. When he returned home in triumph, King Aeos saw the ship with black sails hanging on it and thought that the prince's task was not completed, so he committed suicide here sadly. The sacred avenue of Lamisse ruins leads to Ulysses, and the Pan-Athena Avenue leads to the Acropolis. On the periphery of the city wall, along the main direction of the two roads is the official cemetery of the city, which was used from the 9 th century BC to the late Roman era.
The systematic archaeological work of Keramix site began at 1870. Under the guidance of St. Cumanu Dis, in the next twenty years, the Greek archaeological department cooperated with German archaeologists A. Brueckner and F. Noack.
19 13, the Greek government officially handed over the archaeological research of Keramix site to the German Archaeological Association, which is still going on today. Several important tourist attractions of Keramix site are: part of the wall of Themistocles, which was built in Athens in BC 1478. Puri Hong Men is the largest and most formal gate of Athens, which was built in 478 BC. The Fountain House is located on the left side of the entrance of Dupree Red Gate, which provides a continuous source of water for urban residents. It was built in 307-304 BC. Demosion Sema is a public cemetery in the city, which is located in the extension outside Di Plihon Gate. The center of Athens Constitution Square is undoubtedly Sintama.
There are not only tourist service centers nearby, but also express buses departing from the international airport. Many airlines, banks, travel agencies and coffee shops are also concentrated here. Most street cars and blue buses have stop signs here, so the traffic is very convenient; It can be said to be the heart of Athens, because the distance from Athens to other parts of Greece is based on this. To the west of the square is Praka, where affordable accommodation, Greek barbecue shops and gift shops are located on winding paths. The Acropolis, the ruins of ancient Rome (Agora) and the Temple of Zeus, which tell fairy tales and splendid relics of ancient civilization, are all located in this area. From Constitution Square to the Acropolis, you can walk along Leoforos Amalias next to the National Garden, pass Hadrian Arch and Olympia Temple, and you can reach the foothills of the Acropolis.
There are two main roads from Constitution Square to Monastery Square: Ermou and Mitropoulos. The street of the former is the only place for shopping, and the Orthodox Church of Mitropoleos Pohris of the latter is the largest church in Greece. There are many museums on Vassilissis Sofias Road from Constitution Square to Lika -vitos Mountain, such as Byzantine Museum and National Art Gallery. The handover ceremony of the guards in front of the Monument to the Unknown Soldier in Constitution Square is the most unforgettable program. The two main roads from Constitution Square to Mogna Square are one-way streets. Stadiou Road and Panepistimiou Road have high-class hotels, shops and office buildings, which are very important commercial avenues in Athens, and even Akadimias Road is very busy.
On the left and right sides in front of the Monument to the Unknown Hero, there are always guards dressed in national costumes. Red hats, shoulder ornaments, wide dresses and knotted shoes are like little guards in fairy tales. Every time on time, there is a wonderful dressing ceremony here. The guards walked around the tomb with a unique and elegant pace, attracting tourists to fill the square. After the independence of the National Library of Greece, the first consul, John Cabordeyas, with the assistance of educator and book lover George Gennadius, issued an order in 1829 to set up a collection center in the Greek National Museum and Educational Institution Center in Aina. 1832, the library moved to Navran, and was named as a public library through legislation.
At that time, there was a book 1844, and the first curator was George Nadiz. 1834, the public library moved to Athens, and the government passed a new law requiring each publication to submit a copy to the National Pavilion. National University of Athens was founded in 1838. Thanks to the generous donations of Greeks and pro-Greeks, its library is rich in books. 1842, the collection management departments of public libraries and university libraries merged and both moved into the new university building. 1867 was officially renamed as the national library according to the law, but it remained in the university until 1903. 1888 earthquake contributed to the birth of the new library building. The magnificent marble library building, known as the Athens trilogy, was completed in 1903, with three floors in total.
The Greek Pavilion was established according to the law promulgated by 1943, and it is still valid today. The classification of national collections is based on the old classification table hall ische system, which has poor flexibility. If it is changed, the library space and manpower are not enough. Bibliography initially relied on this system, but in 1978, the National Pavilion adopted the second edition of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Regulations (AACR2) and the Universal Machine-readable Catalogue Format (UNIMARC) as the exchange formats of internal bibliographies and subject names. The national bibliography of Greece is Dewey decimal classification.
At present, the National Library of Greece is working hard to formulate a new payment law. The National Library carries out interlibrary loan, and is also a member of IFLA, the National Library Directors' Conference and other institutions. Corinthian canal Corinthian canal is a tidal channel on the Corinthian isthmus in southern Greece. Connect the Gulf of Corinth and the Gulf of Ronicke, and connect the Ionian Sea and the Aegean Sea. It was excavated from 188 1 to 1893. It is 6.3 kilometers long and 7 meters deep, with a river bottom width of 2 1 meter and a river surface width of 25 meters. It is of great significance to shorten the voyage from Adriatic Sea to Piraeus by 320 kilometers. The Corinthian Canal passes through a small piece of land called the Isthmus of Corinth, which provides a sea passage from the Aegean Sea to Ionia.
From a distance, the canal looks like a narrow and slender waterway, but its scale will only be revealed when the ships gradually approach and enter the canal. However, the canal is still too small to accommodate supertankers and container ships in modern shipping. The Corinthian Canal is only 5.5 kilometers long, but its depth is 79 meters. It is the deepest canal in the world and one of the few canals dug in hard rock areas. Therefore, ships passing through the canal are always at sea level. The idea of connecting the Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea originated in ancient times, but it was not until the reign of Roman emperor Nero in 67 AD that the canal began to be dug. Most of this huge project was undertaken by Roman Jewish prisoners in Jewish colonies.
Due to unrest in other parts of the empire, the project was suspended in 68 AD. It was not until the 1990s of 19 that this project was completed with the development of science and technology. 1892, a French company began to build the canal. 1893, the Greek government completed this project. A highway bridge and a railway bridge cross the canal. There are many theories about how the canal project started in 67 AD. Most people think that King Nero dug the first hole himself. But there are different opinions about whether the king used a gold shovel or a silver shovel.
