Athens (Greek: Αθήνα) is both the largest and the capital city of Greece, located in the Attica periphery. Athens is one of the oldest cities in the world with a recorded history of at least 3,000 years. Today, the Greek capital is Europe's 8th largest conurbation, a bustling and cosmopolitan metropolis with an urban population of 3.3 million and a metropolitan population of about 3.8 million people. The Athens metropolitan area is the centre of economic, financial, industrial, political and cultural life in Greece. The city is also rapidly becoming a leading business centre in the European Union.

"It was falling into the dream, As I was coming out of the dream, I woke up with this marble head in my hands, It exhausts my elbows and I don't know where to put it down." "It was falling into the dream, As I was coming out of the dream, So our life became one, And it will be very difficult for it to separate again." - stanzas from the Mythistorema 3 poem by the late Giorgos Seferis (Γιώργος Σεφέρης; 1963 Nobel Prize Winner for Literature). From there, this clip highlights how the Greek civilization went from one period to another. First, a "Cycladic head" to symbolize around the year 2,700 BC period. Second, after it breaks, a KOUROS was shown to represent the ARCHAIC period (around 650 BC - 500 BC). Finally, it breaks once more to reveal a classical statue to symbolize the CLASSICAL period (around 510 BC - 323 BC). Next, a man standing on a cube came out, in which it represents the Earth rotating around the Sun, as the ancient Pythagoreans saw it then. The Pythagoreans were the religious followers of Pythagoras of Samos' (Πυθαγόρας ὁ Σάμιος) beliefs. He was born at around 580 to 572 BC and died at around 500 to 490 BC; he was an Ionian Greek. Finally, this clip ends with the "outside rocks" showing various vignettes of the growth and evolution of humanity through progress, development and diversity over the ages. Then, these "rocks" form a representation of the over 1,500 Greek islands that make up modern Greece today.

The Ministry of Culture and the Organization for the Construction of the New Museum of the Acropolis of Athens (OANMA), adhering to the Greek Government's earlier decision concerning the location of the Museum for its construction, are in the process for the same site "Macriyannis" at the South slope of the Acropolis Rock. This decision, made some years ago arbitrarily, without any previous research for the most suitable location, has been strongly criticized by various professional organizations, such as the Architects' Association, as well as by distinguished archeologists and other specialists. This criticism, based on documented arguments, has been ignored by the Ministry of Culture and collaborating archaeological institutions. 1. This site is considered unsuitable from an archaeological point of view because: a) Significant archaeological findings have been unearthed in the field intended for the Museum as verified by the Organization for the Construction of the New Museum itself. These antiquities date back to the mesohelladic and late neolithic periods down to the 7th century BC. As mentioned by OANMA itself (July 2000), "The antiquities found in the piece of land intended for the Museum have been proven more significant than originally anticipated. The new finds have changed radically previous agreements concerning the availability of the site, which had resulted from test excavations". Nevertheless, radical change in estimates did not lead to a reconsideration of the choice. The competent Ministry and its archaeological services are going on with their plans to construct the Museum on the location decided originally, thus committing an act of inconceivable vandalism, building on important archaeological finds, which essentially are destroyed, a Museum whose purpose is to preserve and reveal antiquities. b) The installation of the Museum in this space will prevent the possibility of an extension and unification of the field of excavation in the southern belt of the Rock. Such excavations in the same belt would, probably, offer significant information about the city and its relationship to the Acropolis. It must be noted here that, despite the opposite assertions of the competent body which declared the archaeological research finished in May 2000, the excavation of the field intended for the Museum has not been concluded and it is most probable that the scheduled demolition of the buildings, existing in it, will reveal important archaeological findings. In any case, it is obvious that this will create a gap on the history of the city and its relation to the Acropolis. Today's residential area neighboring the Sacred Rock separates it from the ancient urban environment, while it diminishes the vital space which is necessary in order to put on value the monuments crowing it. The objective here should be to decongest the area surrounding the Acropolis rather than add more buildings to it. 2. The site in question is entirely unacceptable from an aesthetic point of view; It is obvious that the construction of whatever building, and especially the voluminous Museum, in the immediate environment of the Rock, on the edge of it -- only a few dozen meters from its southern wall-- is a vulgar, aesthetically unacceptable act that alters drastically the morphology of the archaeological landscape, upsetting its scale and contributing to the downgrading of the image of the Acropolis and its adjacent Monuments. We are not, of course, aware of the particulars of the building to be approved, since the competition is still in progress, but some features of the structural program are enlightening. According to the proclamation of the competition, the building will occupy a total mixed area of approximately 14000 m2; from which, 8000 will be used for the display of the antiquities. However, along with already existing in the space of the Museum buildings to be assigned to it, its total area will be over 20000 square meters. The height of the southern wall may approach 40 m. It is worth mentioning that the floor area at the stylobates level of Parthenon is 2145 m2 and the total height of 17 m. without its pediments. Its height is diminished drastically during the visual perception not only because of the damages it has sustained, but also because of the fact that in viewing the southern side from the level of the ground, the lower part of the colonnade is hidden. After the erection of the intended building, the visual field of the spectator will be overwhelmed by the image of the Museum, which is going to be projected oppressively over that of the Acropolis and the Parthenon. The Museum will also dominate the landscape of Acropolis when viewed from the West, "merging" with the Propylaea and the entire image of the Monuments, while its presence will be strongly noticeable from an eastern sighting of the Rock as well

Tags: 2004 athens athletes cauldron ceremony finale fireworks flame games greek kaklamanakis light olympic opening XXVIII
In this final clip of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games opening ceremony, it was the final and biggest moment of any Olympic Games opening ceremony: the lighting of the Olympic Flame. Here, a total of SIX (6) Greek past athletes carried the Olympic torch to its final destination. They were in order: - NIKOS (Nick) GALIS (Νίκος Γκάλης; of New Jersey, USA): He was a member of the Greek national basketball team, when they won gold (1987) and silver (1989) in the European Basketball Championships; - DIMITRIS "Mimis" DOMAZOS (Δημήτρης Δομάζος): One of the best Greek footballers ever, who played for Panathinaikos FC and AEK Athens F.C. from 1959 to 1980; - PARASKEVI "VOULA" PATOULIDOU (Παρασκευή "Βούλα" Πατουλίδου): She was the Olympic gold medalist at Barcelona 1992 in the women's 100m hurdles event. If you remember, she was given dual honors, with Evander Holyfield, to carry the Atlanta 1996 Olympic torch to its final destination in that Olympic Stadium, too; - KAHKI KAKHIASHVILI: He won an Olympic gold medal for the UNIFIED TEAM (former Soviet Union) at Barcelona 1992 in the 82.5-90kg class weightlifting event. He went on to represent Greece and won gold at Atlanta 1996 in the 91-99kg class weightlifting event and gold at Sydney 2000 in the 85-94kg class weightlifting event; and, - IOANNIS MELISSANIDIS (Ιωάννης Μελισσανίδης; of Munich, Germany): He won the Olympic gold medal at Atlanta 1996 in the men's artistic gymnastics floor exercise event. The biggest honor to light the Olympic cauldron was NIKOLAOS "NIKOS" KAKLAMANAKIS (Νικόλαος Κακλαμανάκης). He won the Olympic gold medal at Atlanta 1996 in the Mistral-class windsurfing sailing event. He would go on to win the Olympic silver medal in the same event at these Games. Also, he was the flagbearer for his team at Sydney 2000. After this, you see some fireworks displays to signal the end of the opening ceremony. The two CBC commentators have their final say about the ceremony and that is it. I hope you enjoyed watching these set of clips. Now, it is the day before the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games opening ceremony to be shown live throughout the world. I hope you will enjoy that opening ceremony, too, wherever you are to watch it.
