Mathematician debunks the Parthenon’s famous optical illusions

The Parthenon is undeniably one of history’s most renowned architectural feats,but one detail of its structural genius is a total hoax. For over 2,000 years, scholars and admirers have alleged that the ancient Greek building’s nearly imperceptible curves were specifically crafted to compensate for optical illusions that would otherwise ruin the structure’s clean lines.But recent analysis says otherwise. After a detailed investigation and complex computational modeling, Universi
