A request for the Marbles of Parthenon was made to Blair by Simitis due to incoming elections! A giant museum 32m high and 10 acres on base is illegaly under construction in Archaeological site with the excuse to host the marbles while they can be return back on the monument. A recearch will help to find out what is correct and you may give your opinion at:

It's a global demand and decision of UNESCO 1982

There is an UNESCO decision since 1982
about the return of all parts back to the monument.
UNESCO is a facist organization according your thinking?
There is not only the British Museum that holds parts of Parthenon,
but also many other museums around the world and private collections.
This decision includes all but the Greek governments never activate this decision!!!
This moment the monument suffer with EU money, under new attack with business plans for taking pieces for the final catastrophe of this global monument among with the philosophical schools in Makrigianni Archaeological site 150m away in an area protected by UNESCO .
There, some businessman want a monster museum to a state land, with EU money and private collection Parthenon and other monuments of Akropolis (NIKE temple etc)
The effort for the salvation of Parthenon has nothing to do with nationalism.
Parthenon is a GLOBAL MONUMENT for humanity and a result of the multi politismic environment of ancient Athens that was the meeting point for all civilizations of the area.
Well done Dimitris.
Saving a whatever global monument, treasure for the humanity and for all visitors from all around the world, is nationalism?
The birth place of Democracy and the salvation of his symbol has to do with nationalism?
This is the most poor view and the greatest lie about this matter,
from very poor minds close to real facism.
Only real facists, want to destroy the monument of Democracy and Civilization with all kind of excuses, like the return in a museum 32m high and 10 acres in base full glass with restaurants, bars etc. that will ruin Akropoli, the surrounding area, the philosophical schools of Athens 5 BC- 7 AD, four layers of ancient cities begining from prehistoric period. Just to still the last free space and state land in the area. Just to still the monument. Just to use the EU money float to their pockets.

NOW
AKROPOLIS NOW
AKROPOLIS 2 NOW
In a hurry...
in a hurry 2 ...
thank you so much for your kind help in this effort for the salvation of Akropolis and surrounding area (archaeological field Makrigiannis) were philosophical schools
5th BC -7th AD still exist.
I have to tell you that for this poll none in Greece was informed to inflow the research. Was only published in a INDY in USA, and Netherland only. Is strange that not many entries were at the poll. This doesn't help enough but at least none asks for catastrophie and this is important.
There was an same research in INDY ATHENS, a research in the street below Akropolis (Dionisiou Areopagitou str) only to save something.
To be clear that none really wants the catastrophy of the monuments of the area of the Global Monument. That's all.
The monument of Akropolis belongs to humanity
and complete and proper restoration worth a chance.
I send you photos from the situation on the archaeological field NOW that is in extreme danger for fatal catastrophy. Also some other photos from Parthenon.
Regards and thank you again for your help.
