“NOVA is excited to partner with organizations and individuals that share our passion for scientific discovery as we spread the word about upcoming shows. On January 29, we invite you to join us for the premiere of Secrets of the Parthenon For 25 centuries, this ancient temple has been shot at, set on fire, rocked by earthquakes, looted for its sculptures, almost destroyed by explosion, and disfigured by well-meaning renovations. It has gone from temple, to church, to mosque, to munitions dump. Now, a multi-decade, multi-million-dollar restoration effort is revealing architectural subtleties that at first glance seem impossible given the techniques of the day. Join NOVA as we unravel the architectural and engineering mysteries of this celebrated structure in “Secrets of the Parthenon.” The show will premiere Tuesday, January 29 at 8pm ET/PT on most PBS stations.
