An acropolis is a hill in Greece which means "upper city". When a city-state was formed, a hill was fortified as a refuge during attack - it contained a temple of the patron god/goddess and the settlement's valuables were stored there under protection of the deity. As the area developed, a city grew up around it, often walled. The acropolis of Athens came to have several temples, one of which is the Parthenon (parthenos = the virgin Athena, patron goddess) where the treasury was located under her protection and her statue presided.

many greek cities have an acropolis. It was built on a hill overlooking the city and often housed temples and some sacred burial sites. when raiders came it served as a look out and sometimes as a place to shelter. as ilt was on a rise, it would have been easier to defend.

Christian bishops decided a date of the birth of Jesus the Nazorean, which became accepted. The monk who proposed the year botched the date - as according to the gospel of Matthew it was in the reign of Herod who died in 4 BC. According to Luke it was after 6 AD when Quirinius became governor of Syria. We just don't know.

The actual date was originally set at 6 January, but with the difficulty of suppressing the popular festival of the Saturnalia, Christmas was shifted on top of it to 25 December. The Orthodox Christian churches still retain 6 January.

The original purpose of the Acropolis of Athens was like a fortress build high above, to defend the city below it. Later it was used as a temple by many gods and goddesses.

This is a strange question!

The Acropolis is a flat-topped rock which rises 150 m (490 ft) above sea level in the city of Athens.

On the Acropolis is built the Parthenon a temple built for the Greek goddess Athena in the 5th century BC

The Acropolis is a natural land form and Parthenon a construction of man, both are very beautiful but both are linked one to another.

In my opinion the location of the Parthenon makes its beauty and the Acropolis would just be another rock without the Parthenon's presence.

I honestly do not know exactly why it was so important to the Greeks, but I think I know why it is generally important to us... It is because of the statues of the women and its age. I hope this is helpful for some people! :)

The acropolis in each Greek city was a high ground used as a fortress, where the citizens could take refuge when attacked. This expanded to include temples where people congregated for religious ceremonies. It also accommodated valuables which the city and citizens could leave under protection of the gods. And accused people could also claim refuge under protection of the gods.
