The golden -ivory statue of the goddess Athena was strategically illuminated by the sunlight while the rest of the temple was kept dark
With a digital representation of the interior of the Parthenon with advanced 3D technology, a professor from the Oxford University created an impressive video that puts the viewer on the “sanctuaries” of the Parthenon.
According to Juan de Lara- the four-year study of which was published in the journal The Annual of the British School at Athens- inside, the imposing temple of the goddess Athena on the Acropolis was dimly enlightened to cause a spy, divine awe.
According to archaeologymag.com, on the day, the golden -ivory statue of the goddess Athena was strategically illuminated by the sunlight that was entering the Eastern Gate, while the rest of the temple was maintained dark, creating an impressive, deliberate visual illusion.
According to the professor’s study, the ancient Greeks had made inside the Parthenon a system of lighting that included small windows on the roof, reflective tanks with water, translucent ceilings and glittering materials – all interacting to create a devastating atmosphere.
