the human story

“Every story builds upon ones that came before. In a sense, there aren’t multiple stories, there is only just one story - the human story” - Welcome to Nightvale, paraphrased

acropolis museum
- I mentioned that the ground floor has glass so you can see the dig site, but the glass doesn’t stop there. Each floor you go up, you can see the one’s below you, a sort of reminder of what came before you. The acropolis itself was an attempt by the Greek to build and build on top of itself, culminating in the Parthenon, a temple meant to connect to the Gods themselves. The museum’s emphasis of the layers that came before serve as a reminder that there are always others that came before us, stories that we have built our own story off of.
