Our artifact is the Ancient version of the Parthenon in Ancient Greece. The time period of the ancient piece in history was around 438 BC to AD 1687. In 447 BC, the construction of the Parthenon began. The Parthenon was used for many things during the time that it still stood up. The Parthenon was a temple that was made in honor of the Greek goddess, Athena, for helping to support their thriving land. It also used as a treasury. It was actually the most important building in Greece that tine and still now. The Greeks decorated the Parthenon to show how art was important to the Greeks and how they were very good at art.
