Athens, the capital and largest city of Greece, is located at the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula. It has a typical Mediterranean climate, with warm and humid winters, little rain in summer, and abundant sunshine.
This is one of the oldest cities in Europe and even the world. It has a clearly recorded history of more than three thousand years and is known as the 'Cradle of European Civilization'.
It is also the birthplace of European philosophy. It has had a significant impact on the development of European and world culture. It gave birth to a large number of historical greats such as Socrates and Plato. It is the origin of the so-called folk cooking.
In the entire Western world, Athens can even be called people's spiritual home, and its status is extremely important.
After more than three thousand years, Athens still retains many historical sites and a large number of works of art, shining with the bright light of civilization.
The most famous of these is the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens. It is regarded as a symbol of Western culture and stands on the top of the Acropolis of Athens.
In addition, Athens is also the origin of the modern Olympic Games and has hosted many Olympic Games.
When Ye Tian and the others entered the city of Athens in their motorcade, darkness still enveloped this ancient city, and the people living in this city were all asleep in their dreams.
Because of the dark night, although Ye Tian and the others had entered Athens, they were unable to appreciate the beauty of the city and appreciate the historical charm accumulated over the past three thousand years, which was somewhat regrettable.
However, when the convoy entered the central city of Athens and bypassed several hills of different heights, everyone's eyes lit up.
Not far in front of the motorcade, the Parthenon, standing on the top of the Acropolis, suddenly broke into everyone's field of vision.
Although it is early in the morning and darkness covers the earth and the entire city, under the illumination of landscape lights, the Parthenon on the top of the Acropolis in Athens looks magnificent, simple and solemn!
At a sudden glance, it looks like a temple descending from the sky, emitting extremely bright light, illuminating the entire Athens, the entire Western world, and Western civilization!
Seeing this scene, there was an exclamation of exclamation in the motorcade.
"Wow! It's so spectacular! It's so shocking! At this moment, I truly realize the greatness of the Parthenon!"
“The Parthenon is so beautiful. Who would have thought that such a majestic and solemn temple was built more than 2,500 years ago? It’s incredible!”
Unlike those people in the motorcade who were amazed, Ye Tian felt something else when looking at the magnificent Parthenon on the top of the Acropolis!
This ancient Greek temple is regarded as a symbol of Western culture. Its most commendable and shocking carvings were all produced by Phidias, the head of the three major sculptors in ancient Greece. It is its most famous One of the representative works.
The Temple of Pat was built to praise Athens' victory over the Persian invaders. It is dedicated to the goddess Athena, the patron saint of the ancient city of Athens, the goddess of wisdom, art and war.
The name of the city of Athens comes from its patron saint.
The statue of the goddess Athena that was once enshrined here was made by the master sculptor Phidias and is one of his famous representative works.
It was a statue of the goddess Athena inlaid with gold and ivory. It was about twelve meters high and was the largest statue of the goddess Athena in ancient Greece at that time.
In addition to this statue of the goddess Athena, there are two other statues of the goddess Athena made by Phidias in the ancient city of Athens.
One is located in Constitution Square, the statue is nine meters high; the other is located on the pillar of the Acropolis Gate, about seven meters high, both are top-notch works of art.
It is a pity that these statues of the goddess Athena have disappeared in the long river of history and are missing.
Not only these statues of the goddess Athena, but most of the other sculptures by the master of art Phidias have disappeared, have not been handed down, and only exist in legends.
The only surviving sculptures of Pheidias that are widely known are those on the Parthenon.
It is these sculptures on the Parthenon, these most perfect specimens of classical sculpture, that established Phidias' undisputed position as the top three sculptors in ancient Greece.
Everyone thinks that, except for these classical reliefs on the Parthenon, the individual sculptures of Phidias have long ceased to exist,
But who would have thought that Ye Tian would have a statue of the goddess Athena made by Phidias, which was nearly 70% complete.
Once this statue of the goddess Athena is put together, even if it is not completed, as long as it is publicly displayed, it will be announced that it is the work of Phidias, the ancient Greek **** of sculpture, and that he created the statue of the goddess Athena.
Even people like Ye Tian, who have seen and handled countless top-notch antiques and artworks, dare not imagine what kind of scenes will occur and what a huge sensation it will cause.
In front of this statue of Pheidias' Athena, the two treasures of the Louvre, the "Venus de Milo" and the "Statue of Victory" are simply not enough to see, and their value Far from it!
There is no doubt that once this statue of the goddess Athena of Pheidias is unveiled to the public, it will definitely shock the whole world and attract countless people to go crazy for it.
Especially the Greeks, Athenians, and even all Westerners, I am afraid that they will go on pilgrimage like a tide and worship under this statue!
The Parthenon, which symbolizes Western culture, stands on the top of the Acropolis in Athens, but the only statue of the goddess Athena in the world, which was made by Phidias and should be enshrined in the Parthenon, is displayed on its own in the museum!
When he thought of this, Ye Tian felt relieved all over, and he was so excited that he wanted to cheer loudly, not to mention how happy he was!
It didn’t take long for the convoy to arrive at the reserved hotel.
This is a five-star hotel located at the foot of the Acropolis. It is very close to the Acropolis. It takes less than five minutes to walk there. It is even less than 100 meters away from the Acropolis Museum.
When staying in this hotel, you can open the windows or even lie on the bed, and you can see the magnificent, yet simple and solemn Parthenon. The scenery is superb.
Because of the scenery and unique geographical location, Ye Tiancai booked this five-star hotel and booked two entire floors of rooms as everyone's residence in Athens.
In this way, during the few days before and after you go out to sea to explore the treasures of ancient Roman shipwrecks, you can also enjoy the most beautiful scenery in the city of Athens. It can be said that you kill two birds with one stone!
The arrival of Ye Tian and the others made the Athens police and the hotel very nervous, and also raised the security level of this five-star hotel to the highest level.
In and around the entrance of this five-star hotel, Greek police cars with flashing lights and heavily armed Greek policemen with live ammunition can be seen everywhere, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The hotel security staff were also very alert. They all stared at the newly arrived motorcade and everyone in the motorcade with widened eyes, not daring to relax for a moment.
Fortunately, nothing happened, and Ye Tian and his party successfully completed the check-in procedures.
Next, Ye Tian was polite to the Greek friends who accompanied him to the hotel and the diplomats from the US Embassy, shook hands with these guys one by one, and sent them all away.
Afterwards, he took David and Jason upstairs to his own presidential suite.
Entering the room, putting down the things in his hands and taking off his coat, Ye Tian immediately said to Jason:
"Jason, please go and inform everyone that you can move around freely for the next two days, have a good rest, adjust to the jet lag, and go out to visit and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Athens, but you must pay attention to safety.
In Europe, we have many enemies. Because of this exploration operation, there are also many people who are jealous of us. If you go out for sightseeing, you must go together and be accompanied by security personnel.
After two days, we will sail out to sea to explore the treasures of ancient Roman shipwrecks and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean. After the exploration is over, I will set aside time for everyone to enjoy life! ”
"Okay, Steven, I'll let everyone know"
Jason responded, then turned and left the presidential suite.
Next, Ye Tian explained some things to Matisse and David, and the two guys left one after another, went about their business, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
When they all left, Ye Tian first took a look at the Parthenon, which was very close at hand, standing on the top of the Acropolis in Athens, and then began to look at the presidential suite where he lived.
While admiring this exquisite and elegant presidential suite, he also secretly turned on the perspective and looked through the presidential suite completely, not missing any corner.
He also thoroughly inspected the rooms upstairs and downstairs in the presidential suite to prevent anyone from making a fuss, eavesdropping or plotting against him.
In fact, Mattis and the others who were at the front station have thoroughly checked this place and installed a lot of anti-surveillance and monitoring equipment to ensure that there is no leakage here!
After confirming that there were no safety risks, Ye Tian ended the fluoroscopy, withdrew his gaze, and then walked into the bedroom.
At this time, the snow outside has stopped, and a trace of fish belly white appears on the eastern horizon. A new day is coming soon!
