dionisosb's video: The rapture of the sculptures of Aphaia s Temple

The Aphaia Temple of Aegina was built about the 500 BCE, is Doric peripteral and was famous for the pediment sculptures. The complex of sculptures of Parian marble depict scenes from the Trojan war and were put in place when the temple was completed around 490 BCE. . The sculptures of the pediments were stolen in 1811 by the English Cockerell and Foster the German von Hallerstein and the painter Link , while Greece was still under Turkish occupation. In 1814, Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria purchased the sculptures, and exhibited them in the Glyptothek Museum in Munich, Germany. We hope that these sculptures will someday return to their motherland. Let us do together make this a reality. Let us do the beginning from here: http://www.bringthemback.org/Default.... Τhank my dear friend Kassandreia for help in English translation
