The Temple

Based on the current deformation of a column of the temple of Olympios Zeus (Olympieion) in Athens, Greece, a backward analysis is performed in an effort to investigate the seismic history of the area during the last 2,000 years that the monument has been standing. The analysis inevitably contains many ambiguities, due to the nonlinearity and sensitivity of the seismic response, and the unknown geometry of the structure during each era of its life. In spite of these drawbacks, conclusions can be drawn; these, however, should be verified by similar analyses of other nearby monuments. The results show that the present state of the monument could be the result of: many medium-size, typical, near-field earthquakes with a PGV around 30 cm/s and with an average return period of about 250 years; or a smaller number of stronger earthquakes with a PGV around 50 cm/s and a return period of about 500 years; or a single event with a PGV up to 100 cm/s. It seems unlikely that earthquakes containing pulses of long periods (greater than 1.2 sec) have occurred.

Architecture of the ancient kingdoms of Kediri, Singasari and Majapahit, have the same  religion that is Hindu and Buddhist shrines, which requires either a temple. Each temple has a good difference in the environment, culture technology, function, and form of the building.The method of the description will be used here to be able to give you an idea of the temple reliefs in details.Each temple has a different relief and can be found on the head / body / foot which tells about the life story or series, or legend of a moral message containing the story.

Popular culture has long conflated Mexico with the macabre. Some persuasive intellectuals argue that Mexicans have a special relationship with death, formed in the crucible of their hybrid Aztec-European heritage. Death is their intimate friend; death is mocked and accepted with irony and fatalistic abandon. The commonplace nature of death desensitizes Mexicans to suffering. Death, simply put, defines Mexico. There must have been historical actors who looked away from human misery, but to essentialize a diverse group of people as possessing a unique death cult delights those who want to see the exotic in Mexico or distinguish that society from its peers. Examining tragic and untimely death—namely self-annihilation—reveals a counter narrative. What could be more chilling than suicide, especially the violent death of the young? What desperation or madness pushed the victim to raise the gun to the temple or slip the noose around the neck? A close examination of a wide range of twentieth-century historical documents proves that Mexicans did not accept death with a cavalier chuckle nor develop a unique death cult, for that matter. Quite the reverse, Mexicans behaved just as their contemporaries did in Austria, France, England, and the United States. They devoted scientific inquiry to the malady and mourned the loss of each life to suicide.
