Tapered rivets have a conical shank and don’t have a top. Instead they taper from a wide head down to a narrow tip at the bottom. Joints/hinges use an odd number of tenons and come in different tenon-counts. These generally vary between a 3, 5, 7 and very occasionally a 9 tenon-count.

Construction started in 447 BC when the Delian League was at the peak of its power. It was completed in 438 BC; work on the decoration continued until 432 BC. For a time, it served as the treasury of the Delian League, which later became the Athenian Empire. In the final decade of the 6th century AD, the Parthenon was converted into a Christian church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. After the Ottoman conquest in the mid-fifteenth century, it became a mosque. In the Morean War, a Venetian bomb landed on the Parthenon, which the Ottomans had used as a munitions dump, during the 1687 siege of the Acropolis. The resulting explosion severely damaged the Parthenon. From 1800 to 1803, [13] the 7th Earl of Elgin took down some of the surviving sculptures, now known as the Elgin Marbles, in an act widely considered, both in its time and subsequently, to constitute vandalism and looting.

These loops are to distribute pressure on the sides of your head and can also be used to attach a frame chain. For facial comfort, the bridge of your glasses has two main functions. These come from bridge bump and the bridge aperture.Holt, Frank L. (November–December 2008). "I, Marble Maiden". Saudi Aramco World. 59 (6): 36–41. Archived from the original on 1 August 2012 .

The mythological figures of the metopes of the East, North, and West sides of the Parthenon had been deliberately mutilated by Christian iconoclasts in late antiquity. [82]

If so, you might notice a strip of metal inside the temple. This component is called a wire core which is used to reinforce the acetate to help keep its shape. On 26 September 1687 a Venetian mortar round, fired from the Hill of Philopappos, blew up the magazine. [102] [126] The explosion blew out the building's central portion and caused the cella's walls to crumble into rubble. [121] According to Greek architect and archaeologist Kornilia Chatziaslani: [100] The building has a pronaos, a cella housing cult images at the centre of the structure, and an opisthodomos. The alignment of the antae of the pronaos with the third flank columns of the peristyle is a design element unique to the middle of the 5thcentury BC. [ citation needed] There is also an inner Doric colonnade with five columns on the north and south side and three across the end (with the corner columns counted twice). The dispute centres around those of the Parthenon Marbles removed by Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin, from 1801 to 1803, which are in the British Museum. [14] A few sculptures from the Parthenon are also in the Louvre in Paris, in Copenhagen, and elsewhere, while more than half are in the Acropolis Museum in Athens. [19] [134] A few can still be seen on the building itself. The Greek government has campaigned since 1983 for the British Museum to return the sculptures to Greece. [134] The British Museum has consistently refused to return the sculptures, [135] and successive British governments have been unwilling to force the museum to do so (which would require legislation). Talks between senior representatives from Greek and British cultural ministries and their legal advisors took place in London on 4 May 2007. These were the first serious negotiations for several years, and there were hopes that the two sides might move a step closer to a resolution. [136]a b Hollis, Edward (2009).

Instead of using screws and tenons, mechanical hinges may use entirely wooden or intricate folded metal parts which avoid the need for pin riveted hinges.
