2. View the PBS Nova Film "Secrets of the Parthenon (Links to an external site.)" (if link does not work google "PBS Nova Secrets of the Parthenon")
3.Answer the Following questions:
a. In the film there is a question about which of the 46 columns is missing a capital. Why is it so difficult for the restorers to figure out where to place this capital?
b. Why did the computer program devised by the restorers not help them in restoring the building?
c. How did the original builders construct the temple of Athena with such precision in only 8 years? What is, in other words, the "secret" of the Parthenon?
