Look at everything here, you will learn a ton about architecture, Greek philosophy, the Parthenon, the Vietnam Memorial; and male bees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maya Lin’s Vietnam Memorial is essentially a sort of triangle bent in the middle like a wing. But it is also, like what in architecture is known as a pediment. The triangle at the end of Greek temples whose shape is created by the left, and right roof line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In these pediments were sculptures, telling stories of Greek Gods, lots of horses, an occasional seer ( I see the future guy ); and importantly fallen soldiers.<\/span><\/p>\n

There were a few rules in the competition for an architect to enter, to win the rights to build the Vietnam Memorial:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. You had to include all of the names of service members who sacrificed their lives in the war.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Your design had to relate to other buildings in the area of the Washington Mall. In this area are buildings such as the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial; and of course the Washington Monument.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lincoln Memorial is a Greek Temple, but in place of the Goddess Athena, we have President Lincoln.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now you can understand how Maya Lin fulfilled both of these rules, creating a Pediment shape, and as the Parthenon, includes warriors who have given their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following websites deal with the Parthenon, and the geometry that the Greeks found sacred.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pythagoras founded the Pythagorians. These two sites deal with explaining math, and physics connected to the Pythagorians.<\/span><\/p>\n
