MICHAEL JACKSON HIS MUSIC

In this site we do care about music and the impact of this Art to people`s feelings. People are quite curious to find out the reasons that drove Michael Jacskson to end his life in this suddden manner.Well i`d say it was expected. It doesn`t take much to understand that he had the end Elvis was trying to get.It was all over for them,years ago.When there is no evolution there is end. They were stars ,bright ones that were lit a long time. There was nothing new,no music,no human relations,no light anywhere.It takes courage to try to live and stand up when you believe there is nothing at all.Michael Jackson was a big musical phenomenon but we know nothing about his education,his beliefs. We shall remember him for what he was.........the GREAT ENTERTAINER

NEW ACROPOLIS MUSEUM THE FLOATING MIRACLE

A FEW DAYS ONLY BEFORE THE GREAT OPENING OF THE MUSEUM The international press writes articles about the New Museum,and the possibility of the marbles`s coming back to Athens. It is unlikely that the British Museum would discuss such a possibility says the vice supervisor of the museum.NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE SAY THE GREEK PEOPLE. MORE FACTS ABOUT THE NEW MUSEUM
  1. MOST EXIBITS ARE LIT WITH PURE NATURAL SUNLIGHT SO THE MARBLES CAN BE SEEN AS THEY WERE
  2. THE MARBLE USED FOR THE PARTHENON CHANGES COLOR ACCORDING TO THE TIME ONE WATCHES IT. IT IS A UNIQUE MARBLE THAT COMES FROM THE NORTH SIDE OF ATTICA FROM THE MOUNT PENDELI. IT SHOWS ONE COLOR IN THE MORNING ANOTHER IN THE EVENING.
  3. THE DESIGN OF THE NEW MUSEUM IS SIMPLE(THE CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLEX) SO THE VISITOR`S ATTENTION IS DRAWN TO THE ANCIENT ART AND NOT TO THE BUILDING.

ACROPOLIS NEW MUSEUM

THE NEW ACROPOLIS MUSEUM AND THE MARBLES OF PARTHENON

1821. Greece fully conquered by the Turkish Empire decides to begin the Revolution against the Turks. imewIt was a very bloody and hopeless fight because the Turkish side was stronger and bigger in number of armies.

However the first and second years were successful for the Greek side. The war lasted nearly 9 years.

During the war years a dominating figure was watching the facts closely. Lord Byron. He even gave money for weapons to the Greek side. With his speeches to the house of Lords he informed the English people about the struggle of the Greeks for their freedom and also for the danger of the Antiquities ,as Acropolis . For Historical reason we should mention that Lord Byron died in Greece and was buried here until the British government asked for the transportation of his remains to THE WESTMINSTER. Another lord called ELGIN was the Ambassador of Great Britain in Athens during the Revolution years. Being inspired by the Ancient classical Art he had the idea of transporting part of the sculptured marbles of Parthenon in ENGLAND to decorate part of his new home. The Turks never giving a steady answer ,said they could but....never really authorising such an act.A great part of the marbles were taken down from the temple and had to be cut by saw in order to be transported.

For many years the marbles were rotting in the warehouse of the Lord together with the coals,he was using to heat his house. His intention was to sell them to the British Government but the price was too high and so they remained buried to his warehouse.Finally they were sold to the British museum in London.Since then, 1816 they decorate the British museum. Many times the Government was asked for the repatriation

of the marbles but the answer was negative.According to the British constitution they are property of Great Britain,according to the Greek contitution they are property of Greece.

ATHENS THE MUSEUM DESIGNER A GIFTED ARCHITECT

Bernard Tschumi

Bernard Tshumi tries to produce a building "as precise and pure as the Parthenon would have been 2,500 years ago". Indeed, this latest project, awarded in 2001 following an international competition for which there were fifteen candidates, can be seen as the apotheosis of a great architect. Bernard Tschumi met one of the great challenges of the third millennium - to build something new in a city so charged with history. On piles, he constructed a glass trapeze at the foot of the Acropolis while conserving the almost mathematical purity of the spirit in which the Parthenon was built 2,500 years ago.
