his legacy will be when it's a huge legacy? and obviously each generation interprets and legacy in its own way. so we don't know what to look like continuous time, but certainly from where i'm sitting right now. i think right at the heart of his legacy is fierce independence. he spoke to to power without fear or favor. and he was in for the long haul. she, he kept working even as things began to feel hopeless during the year, but not the democratic year as well. yeah. that's the thing. he was tough on the the new democracy just as well as he was on south africa apartheid for, wasn't he? yes he was, he was tough on nelson mandela. she was critical of some of the

10000 and all of them had to participate to the festival. it was a duty for thee and since citizens, their participation and 10 therefore they had seriously and substantially widen, to increase, they weights of their amp. and finally, to create the staircase won't dictated the width of the staircase, was the width of the entrance to the acropolis behind me. built 25 centuries ago. it was designed to allow at least $10000.00 athenians and dozens of sacrificial oxen on to the open space. around the temple of athena, where a great sacrifice would take place each year. goodness intends to open up this gate house so that all 5 of its doorways can be used. but some archaeologists say rebuilding the staircase crosses

a line from restoration to reconstruction. or you gonna get these from there though? i don't say that we should necessarily preserve the zigzag ramp, but this is not a decision of one person. there needs to be a wider discussion. it's a huge intervention. even if we had all the original material that we don't have the right to do it on such a scale, then in and it gets us get plenty of new marble, has been inserted into the buildings of the acropolis as part of a 40 year restoration project. including in the gate house whose restoration done no less oversaw. it's a compromise between 2 schools of thought. conservationists believe in preserving the historical record interventionists would rebuild the temple of athena to its classical glory. and it is that high classical period that tourists come to mark and celebrate to day. so it would appear that got us is merely giving the greeks and the world's visitors what they want. but critics say his view favors some parts of the archaeological record over others. jumps are hopeless. al jazeera evans. i
