Parthenon Marbles

All about Education Part 11

Parthenon

P is for all your pieces separated and spread

A is for the Acropolis the mount on which you are built.

R is for the Return of all those pieces still in foreign lands

 still held in foreign hands so the jigsaw of the re-build remains in- complete.

T is for the time you have endured the rape and neglect within powerful minds

Those who wheel the power of keeping your pieces apart.

H is for the hope within our hearts for a truthful conclusion of your story so far.

The one which sees all your pieces returned to the Acropolis museum.

The purpose-built home for all those fragments to be viewed near where you sit.

E is for the energy, endurance, and the exuberance which is evoked at the sight of seeing you

lit up in lights or shining with the sun, that special Attica light.

N is for the names which hold your story aloft and right

O is for your originality which the Western World copied many times.

N is for the never-ending push to bring all your pieces home. Back to the Acropolis

And the Attica light.

For those interested, the Parthenon committees around the world are now developing educational material for cyberspace. One virtual tour can be part of your visiting experience when viewing the Marbles in the Parthenon Museum.

With just your mobile phone and of course the right app, you will receive Melina Mercouri's  speech she gave to the British People when she was the cultural minister of Greece. Melina will always be remembered by the members of the world wide connected committees because of what was said in that speech.

 "There is no such thing as the Elgin Marbles." 

"The Parthenon is our soul, please return the Parthenon Marbles back to Greece. Return our soul."

To develop this virtual education tool and to extend it into the mainstream education of all countries is now our main tool to help the Marbles of the Parthenon be returned to their rightful place.

The legal issues also explained http://www.parthenon.newmentor.net/legal.htm#legitimacy

Pinterpress is being used to help us develop more interactive virtual information. The Acropolis Museum also has developed 3D tours of the Acropolis and its buildings for those interested in finding out more on this subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6Wl4vyRqvw

To like the Facebook page also helps with building up the morale of the  workers. The volunteers behind the present committees still working for one purpose; to reunify the Parthenon Sculptures within the purpose built museum in  Greece, the Acropolis Museum.   

The united world push to return these fragments to Greece has operated for many years in this long running battle of wills between the British Parliament,  the head of the British Museum and the majority of people who wish for the Parthenon Sculptures returned to Greece.
