The parthenon
The Parthenon was a temple dedicated to Athena Parthenos in Athens and built between 447-438 BC. It was designed by architects Iktinos and Kallikrates and sculptor Pheidias oversaw its construction. Over the centuries it was converted to a church and later a mosque before being damaged by bombing in 1687 and the removal of sculptures to the British Museum in the early 1800s. Conservation efforts have since worked to restore it.
Temple Of Athena Nike
The Temple of Athena Nike sits on the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. It was built in the 5th century BC as an expression of Athens' ambition to defeat Sparta in war. The small, Ionic-style temple has a prominent location on the southwest corner of the Acropolis to maximize visibility. Friezes on the entablature depicted Greek victories in battle against the Persians to inspire worshippers' hopes for success in war. Though damaged over time, its main structure and columns remain intact today.

The Acropolis became exclusively a sacred site for worship of the gods in the 5th century BCE, as decreed by an oracle, with taxes from other city-states funding its elaborate temples, statues, and artwork. It remained the prominent religious center of Athens.
The Parthenon
The Parthenon is a 5th century BC temple located on the Athenian Acropolis that was dedicated to the goddess Athena. It was built to worship Athena after previous temples to her on the site had been destroyed by the Persians.

Situated on the Acropolis in Athens, the Parthenon is a temple dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena. Many scholars look to the temple as the pinnacle of Doric architecture, the simplest of the three classical Greek styles. Completed in 432 BCE, many of the white marble walls and columns of the Parthenon have crumbled over the centuries. That said, the main structure has endured and remains a popular attraction for both tourists and locals.
The temple retained its original structure for approximately one thousand years, until Christians began converting the temple into a church during the 5th century. Turkish forces remodeled the Parthenon as a mosque in 1458, while fighting between Turks and Venetians in 1687 resulted in severe damage to the temple. This is to say nothing of the many statues and busts that have been removed from the temple since its creation nearly 2,500 years ago.
Over the last 50 years, however, the Parthenon has seen a number of significant restoration efforts. The latest stage, headed by the Acropolis Restoration Project, was projected to be completed in 2020.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
