While the Parthenon appears to be getting a facelift, it appears the Acropolis Hill itself has been blasted into a smaller platform to accommodate the urban transportation systems of Athens, which looks like an electromagnetic Maglev system.  The AI future of the Acropolis shows a reverence for the original Parthenon, as the roof has been left alone, it appears that the Erechtheion, which has solid wall construction rather than the peristyle of the Parthenon, has been replaced with a random temple (although this could be their representation of the long-gone Temple of Zeus Polieus reconstructed, depending on the angle, though still not accurate).  The elevated transportation system runs around, but not through the Acropolis Hill, preserving the picturesque Parthenon.
