The Rape of Athens (and Greece)!

I decided to move my postings about Athens, to this site for one reason.

The reason is that the distruction of Greece, in the Archaeological and Historical sense, happened to have mostly occurred in the period of 1790-1920, etc.! And, as such, it fits neatly into what we might call the modern era! That is, we had printing presses, and new-papers, etc.!

Thus, I will have to post web sites, without the ability of you to merely point and click upon the highlighted site, since I have not yet aquired the ability to make such posts!

You will then, however also have to use the "copy and paste" function to follow the action, as it is!

It seems I have already shown some of you the site that can be Google searched, entitled "Athens 3D", or words to that effect!

But, hopefully, if my copy and paste function is now working, I will merely post sites that contain information or especially photo-graphs or paintings of Athens, that will enable all of you to both visually and informationally be able to verify the point of this post.

And that point is, the site(s) within Athens proper, as well as most all of the other historical sites within Greece proper, have mostly been comprimised to such an extent, and so much has been written and accepted as fact by the early "gentlemen" who actually looted most of Greece, to make a point! Their "point" was to glorify "ancient Greece", and its lists of famous personages! Not to mention that they also intended to impress their friends, etc.! Perhaps money was also an incentive?

I hope you understand the reason for posting such items here? I.e., the distruction and looting was done in what we might well call the modern era!

The sites I will be posting, are the result of a diligent search of inter-net sources, that will hopefully make some difference in how each of you look at our currently considered, modern views of Athens (to the most point) and the history of both Athens and Greece, that most of you have been both taught, and believe!

I would doubt that not one in 10,000 students of the history of Athens, whould have any knowledge that such actions actually took place?

Perhaps some of you might well then have some doubts?

As yet! NO responses! How sad!

Were my words or sites presented above too hard for any of you to follow?

Or, do you all await for someone else to respond for you?

Note, as an addition, I would suggest that the "best and the brightest", from this site, which includes every "moderator", and "viser?", etc., has either ignored my above postings or have better yet, merely deigned to, ignore?

Since no one seems to have even read this thread, thereby, the lack of responses, I might well assume that there might well be some animosity towards me? But, I would imagine that it is merely the result of feelings of superiority that some of you feel?

But, if you are really believers in the currently accepted view of the history of Greece, etc., then just how do you explain the obvious view that certain "stone works", that once existed at the entrance (The Beule Gate) to the Acropolis, were allowed to be destroyed (since they were "obviously" Frankish or Ottoman works!), when the stone work itself looks exactly like the "stone work" that now is exhibited as "Mycenaean stone work", upon which now rests the little temple called "Nike-Athena?"

Just how do you explain it?

Originally posted by opuslola Please don't try to tell me that it is "obvious" that later builders found all of these previously cut "Mycenaean stone work", and built the great tower? That is basically the only response you could have? Do any of you have the guts or science to dispute me? I doubt it!

I will have to find the time to read over all your posts and then we can see where it will lead. So far, only you are on this thread but maybe others will find it interesting.

Well eaqlecap, it seems I have given you enough time to make some type of response?

But, it seems I only can read the words of silence or the words of ignorance?
