I've found a cool website with 360 degree views of the Acropolis in Athens.
Most of this stuff was knocked down during the Persian invasions, and was later rebuilt. The Parthenon is dedicated to the goddess Athena Parthenos. The design of the building, built entirely of marble.
The dimensions of the Parthenon are 225 feet in length, 100 feet in width, and the columns of the outer colonnade are 34 feet high. (a paper towel role is 11 inches?) How can we calculate the other dimensions of the Pathenon to scale using this information? Oh... Algebra... imagine that! Talk to Ms. Davis, she should be able to help us. Here's the link to the 360 degree views.
