One section is called the "Acropolis Experience" and includes a 3-D animation of the Acropolis at : http://www.pbs.org/empires/thegreeks/acropolis/intro_html.html there is also a section to describe how the Parthenon was built. http://www.pbs.org/empires/thegreeks/acropolis/built.html I am not exactly clear how archaeologically and architecturally accurate it is - but it is great fun to play with. (one part even promises to teach you how to talk like an ancient Greek !) JUNE SAMARAS 725 Vermouth Ave.(# 1) Mississauga Ontario, L5A 3X5 CANADA .
