https://mocomi.com/ presents: Acropolis of Athens Fun Facts
The Acropolis is one of the most imposing historical structures in Athens.
The word ‘Acropolis’ is derived from the Greek words ‘akron’ meaning edge and ‘polis’ meaning city. It was thus named because it stands on a hilltop that overlooks the city of Athens.
The Acropolis was also known as the sacred rock and was built for defensive reasons. During wartime, the Greeks used it to get a better view of the position of enemy forces.
The construction of the Acropolis started in 447 BC and ended in 438 BC.
The Acropolis served as the venue for festival celebrations and historically significant events during the peak of Athens’ power.
The Greeks built many temples on the Acropolis, such as the famous Parthenon temple dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena.
The first excavations on the Acropolis were conducted between 1835 and 1837.
The first habitation remains on the Acropolis date back to the Neolithic period.
Since the monuments of the Acropolis of Athens were being damaged due to pollution, many of the relics and historical objects were shifted to the newly constructed Acropolis Museum in 2007.
The Acropolis was the runner-up for the New Seven Wonders of the World.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
