=﻿Greek influence's on the world today=

==As you know anicent Greece was one of the early civilaztion. Since the poeple of greece had a religon they had to have a place to come to and worship thier god. So they made a temple to honor that god or goddess. I Chose the Parthenon. Because it has some unknown things about it. I also chose the lincoln memorial as my second pick because he made history in the united states.==

==The consruction of the parthenon begin in the 447 B.C. It is made of marble. When the Athenians won in war against the persians in 479 B.C.They came home to see that their house's have been destroyed.So they wanted to rebuild their city with a more artistic and cultural feeling.In 439BC the parthenon was starting to get built in honor of the goddess Athena.It has doric columns and it took fifteen years to finish.In 450 A.D the parthenon turned into a church dedicated to virgina mary,Then it turned into a catholic church.Then when the turks came in 1458 they turned the catholic church became a mosque with a turkish house around it.Then in 1687 there was a explosion in the parthenon that destroyed most of the building.==

==The lincoln memorial was built in 1914 and finished in may 1922.It was made in honor of Abraham Lincoln during the civil war in 1861-1865.It was styled after a doric temple.It has thirty-six doric columns representing the states that was on the union side of the civil war.After the war was over they added a plaque with the states on it.The memorial is commonly used as a spot for protesting and it was also the spot were martin luther king gave his speech "i have a dream". In dedcation of him they add this plaque above his head that said.== IN THIS TEMPLE AS IN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE FOR WHOM HE SAVED THE UNION THE MEMORY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN IS ENSHRINED FOREVER

The memorial is damage from the from tourist and the environmental factors.It is undergoing restoration to make the memorial withstand more damage from the effects of the weather and the tourism.
==﻿As you can tell from the paragraphs above that anicent greece had some influence on the way architechure is today in america.If they would had never did some of the architechure that they did then some of the monuments today probably would not be here cause of it.Architechure be much more different if it was'nt because of anicent greece.The lincoln wouldn't have thirty six doric columns cause it would have never existed if they didn't do want they did.The temple would have look better if they had someone looking after them but that was the old age. In this time period we have someone to look after the architechture to keep it clean and to preserve it.Modern day architechture has also change a little.well not a little but a lot more from when the people of greece was the one's doing the architechture designing. It is because of them that architechture is the way it is without them this would have never happen Thank you people of ancient greece for this new way of look at architechture.==
