Though revered as a symbol of beauty and perfection, for 25 centuries the Parthenon has been shot at, set on fire, rocked by earthquakes and explosions, looted for its sculptures, and disfigured by catastrophic renovations. Now, to save it from collapse, the modern restoration team must uncover the secrets of how the ancient Greeks originally built it. Through unprecedented access to the restoration project, Secrets of the Parthenon is the definitive film on the engineering of the Parthenon.
