As a step towards convincing the Brits that lord Elgin was a
thief and that his loot should be returned, the friezes have
now been returned virtually, by means of the Parthenon movie
by an international colleague of mine, Paul Debevec. (Links
and infomation on www.debevec.org, the actual movie is not
on the web, though). I added a silly link to a Lego version
of Paul on my Parthenon page. Luckily, there was such a thing
as a Lego chrome sphere. A chrome sphere is my favorite toy
at work, while Lego is my favorite toy at home.

If I can only get hold of Paul's lighting measurements from the
Parthenon site, I could make a rendering of what the Acropolis
would have looked like if it had been crowned by a Parthenon
built from gigantic Lego pieces. :)

(...) Great proportions, Stefan. I'm especially fond of the cutaway peek-a-boo at the inside. Now if only the Brits would return the friezes... -Teddy (20 years ago, 5-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)
