Moving Acropolis... is this another milestone in moving Greece out of its ethnic background?

written on: October 15, 2007

This below scene will disappear in a couple of weeks. For the 2,400 year old 'Acropolis' is being moved downhill into a modern day museum called the Acropolis museum... along with more stones.

Yea, once inside the museum it will all look like odd stones.. the real beauty is to see them in their natural environment where they were sculpted and erected years ago.

Looks like modern day Greece is not at all interested in being called ethnic, or traditional.. Probably the feeling to move towards modernity only got more stronger after the Greece olympics at Athens few years back.

Rumour is that,
They are purposefully triggering fires in Greece forests to deforest them for making way for development .. and they put some skape goat culprits to take the blame for triggering the forest fires and put them a couple of months in jail.

Do people in Greece understand the level of ethnicity attached to their land, or the traditional value that has been deep-rooted there by people like the Spartans.

We will miss ancient day Greece if everything is going to be made modern. It will only add to the pressure on modernizing places at the cost of destroying the place's identity.

Now, moving Acropolis is only becoming another milestone in moving Greece out of its ethnic background.
