Presentation description: During the 19th century there was something of a cultural Renaissance right here in the Hudson Valley region. America’s first world-class literature appeared. We also saw the birth of American landscape architecture. Most importantly, led by Thomas Cole, we saw the appearance of the Hudson River School of Art. In short, our region became the center of a truly important cultural movement. None of this, we argue, would ever have happened if the Hudson Valley and Catskills had not been so heavily glaciated. We take our readers to see how the glaciers created the landscapes that so inspired the great artists of those times. Then we look down into the greater Hudson Valley region. First it is filled with ice but later it is filled with the glacial meltwaters of something called Lake Albany and other glacial lakes throughout the region. Those waters drained away and platforms composed of lake sediment emerged. When the Livingston family came along, on the east bank of the Hudson, they built their mansions upon those platforms. Their architects designed the grounds so that scenic views were opened up. These are called planned views, and they became central to landscape architecture as it developed all across America. Knowing the ice age history that inspired all the arts of the Hudson Valley will help you appreciate them so much more. That is our goal. Bios: Robert and Johanna Titus are, respectively, retired professors of Geology and Biology. They are best known in the Catskills as popular science writers. Over the years they have written for several regional magazines, including Kaatskill Life and Tri-County Historical Reviews. They currently write for local newspapers as well: the Mountain Eagle and the Columbia Paper. They are the authors of five books on Catskills and Hudson Valley geology. The Titus’s are frequently invited to present PowerPoint lectures on their research and have been seen on television and heard on radio. They have a Facebook page (“The Catskill Geologist”), a blog site (“thecatskillgeologist.com”) and can be contacted at randjtitus@prodigy.net.

An important historical heritage of ancient Greek culture is worth a visit. If you go, it is best to understand the culture in advance or find a commentator. If you go by yourself, you will be watching the flowers, and you may not know the interesting things about history. The only thing to note is that you don&#39;t bring any equipment related to commercial shooting, which may be temporarily deducted when entering the park. The second is not to touch the marble, even if it is not surrounded, you can&#39;t touch it. Some staff have been guarding it and remind tourists not to touch the marble.

Acropolis Museum

Museums

千帆尽处无夕阳

The biggest feature of the Acropolis Museum is her spatial design, which is equivalent to making the Acropolis as a whole a space easy. Standing in front of the huge glass curtain, watching the Acropolis ruins, it is like a space conversion. The sculpture art of ancient Greece is indeed inextricably added. My favorite is the maiden column of the Poseidon Temple; it is said that everyone has been visiting the Acropolis Museum for a long time before a sculpture. It is a pity that my stay is too short. I suggest you leave more time for the Acropolis Museum for at least half a day.

The Athens Archaeological Museum is the largest museum in Greece, with nearly 20,000 collections, covering artifacts from prehistory to late antiquity, and is a microcosm of ancient Greek civilization. It is worth a visit, but unfortunately there is no Chinese explanation... If you see a collection you like, you can only use translation software to understand the history...

Parthenon

环球史蒂夫

The Theatre of Hirod Atticus and the Column of Patten, however, the Column of the Acropolis is not real. The Column of the Acropolis Museum and... The British Museum is like most Greek temples, and the temple is used as a vault. 1, built in 447 BC to replace the old Parthenon (destroyed in 480 BC by Persians). 2, for a while was the treasure of the Tyrolean alliance (later turned into the Athenian Empire). In the 6th century, Patnon was converted to a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary (the formerly dedicated Athena was also a virgin). 4. In the early 1460s, after being conquered by the Ottoman Turks, it was used as a mosque. In 1687, it was used as a gunpowder bank by the Turkish army and was unfortunately badly damaged in an explosion. By 1800, only half of the statues of Patnon had survived, and British Ambassador Sir Erkin, after obtaining the approval of the Ottoman government, began to transport half of the surviving statues back to the UK at his own expense from 1801, and began to be displayed in the British Museum from 1817.

Temple of Olympian Zeus

Although it is a site under restoration, you can still feel the weight of history. The ticket inspector did not immediately recognize the admission voucher. He looked at it for a long time and asked why there was no price displayed. We explained and finally got in.
