"Acropolis?" Sitting on the bus, Qianyu looked at the instruction manual in his hand and raised his eyebrows. "Aren't you going to the temple?

"What temple?" Conan, who had already read the instructions, was a little confused.

"The Parthenon!" Qianyu spread his hands.

"You can tell after reading the instructions..." Conan's mouth twitched. "The Parthenon is within the Acropolis of Athens..."

"Hmm..." Qianyu was stunned, and then he reacted after taking a look at the map. "Uh, right..."

"By the way, today is the best opportunity to see the Acropolis," Dr. Ali said with a little pride. "It's free to see the Acropolis today!"

"Why?" Qianyu was surprised.

"Today is May 18th, which is a free opening day stipulated by the management of the Acropolis. (This is true, May 18th is one of the free opening days. 3.6, 4.18, 6.5, 1o.28, September

The last weekend and the first Sunday of every month from November to March are also designated free days.)" Conan said speechlessly. "Did you not even see the travel recommendations in the free movement section that came down before?"

"Cough..." Qianyu's face turned slightly red, then returned to normal.

"We're almost there," Dr. Ali said as the bus started moving again and left the bus station. "The next stop, acropo1i, is where we will get off. After that, we just need to walk west to get to the Acropolis."

…

After getting off the bus, the three of them did not go directly to the Acropolis ruins, but first went to the Acropolis Museum in the southeast corner of the Acropolis. This museum was established in 1878 (the current new museum was only built in 2008) and preserved the bronze artifacts.

In addition to ancient Greek vases, all cultural relics unearthed since 1834. Similarly, the history of the Acropolis is also engraved in the introduction in the museum.

The history of the Acropolis can be traced back to the Mycenaean civilization period (16oo to 11oo BC). At that time, the Acropolis was the residence of the Mycenaean monarchs and their families, guards, believers, craftsmen and common people. However, at that time,

The buildings can no longer be verified.

Athens 2500 years ago was a democratic city-state and the leader of the entire Greek city-state group. In order to prevent foreign invasion, the Athenians built the original acropolis in 580 BC. Among the earliest acropolis, there was the Temple of Athena, Pat.

The Temple of Saturn, the Theater of Dionysus that can accommodate 17,000 people, and a large number of magnificent buildings - Athena is the goddess of war, wisdom, civilization and craftsmanship, and is also the city protector of Athens, even the city of Athens.

The name also comes from Athena. Athena is also the spiritual pillar of the Greek army's courage and victory, and is also the symbol of the city-state. This also makes Athens, which was originally just a military fortress and national center, become a religion like Jerusalem and Rome later.

Holy place.

However, during the Greek war against the Persian invaders, Athens fell in 48o BC and the Acropolis was completely destroyed by the Persian army. After the Persian army was repulsed, the Athenian sculptor Phidias and architect Ikti

Novocallicrates spent about twenty years (437 BC to 421 or 415 BC) rebuilding it in white marble.

In 146 BC, Greece began the period of Roman rule, and a large number of buildings were built under the rule of the Romans - including the Atticus Concert Hall, which still holds performances every night. In the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, Athens

As a key cultivation target of the Roman Empire at its peak, it became a super city at that time.

However, prosperity must inevitably decline. After the Eastern Roman Empire chose Constantinople as its capital, Athens gradually declined amid continuous marginalization. From 18o1 to 18o3, the British aristocrat Lord Elgin transported most of the remaining carvings to

Yes, these precious cultural relics that originally belonged to Athens are also found in the British Museum, the Louvre and other places.

"Give history to civilization, rather than giving civilization to history..." Qian Yu lamented.

"Yes," Conan looked at the description of the last paragraph with a somewhat sarcastic expression. "At that time, if you had power, you could really do whatever you wanted."

"Isn't it the same now?" Qianyu curled his lips.

"That's right..." Conan laughed dumbly. "Isn't it the same now..."

"Look behind you." Qianyu stood opposite Conan because he wanted to take a look at the back of the Temple of Athena. But at this moment, he seemed to see something and motioned Conan to look back. "Look behind you."

"Behind me?" Conan turned around and saw an older golden child snatching something from a smaller golden child - they were obviously brothers, because they were wearing the same clothes, which must be family clothes.

"Give it to me! Give it to me!" During the scuffle, the things in the smaller children's hands were scattered on the floor - they were some candies - and the older children quickly took the opportunity to snatch a few pieces, then ran to the side and ate them happily.

He got up, leaving only the smaller child clumsily picking up the candies and sobbing softly.

"..." Conan's lips pursed, but his expression was the same as Qianyu's, a little sad.

Is this... the original sin of mankind?

"Devils who take pleasure in hurting each other, devils who make progress by hurting each other." Qianyu smiled bitterly. "Are we the spirits of all things designated by Jehovah? I think we are Lucifer's fanatical believers in the world."

"We are both," Conan shrugged. "If Jehovah is a good man, then the Garden of Eden will not change its owner, will it?"

"I think of "The Internationale."" Qianyu agreed with Conan.

"Internationale?" Dr. Ali, who was an audience member next to him, was confused. "What does it mean?"

"Yes," Conan also understood what Qianyu meant. "There is no supreme savior, and there is no Caesar or tribune." (This is the literal meaning of the original text of the Internationale. Caesar is one of the three titles for the emperor of the ancient Roman Empire.

Our translation is: There has never been a savior, nor a fairy emperor!)

"Wait a minute," Dr. Ali still didn't understand the riddle between the two of them. "Does the Internationale have this sentence?"

"We don't have the Internationale," Conan spread his hands. "But the original version, the French version, does." (The Japanese version of the Internationale is only 20% similar to the original version, both in song and lyrics.)

"Our Internationale..." Qianyu coughed, her expression clearly trying to hold back laughter, with a hint of disdain. "I would rather listen to Mikami Taku's "Song of the Showa Restoration"!"

"Don't worry about it for now," Dr. A Li looked at his watch and showed a hint of urgency. "We have to hurry up, otherwise it will be too late! We have more important things to do tonight!"

"Tonight..." Thinking of the Champions League final tonight, Conan's mouth twitched. "It is said that Italian fans are quite powerful..."
