My server and I just finished constructing this. Someone came to the server head, saying they would build a Greek temple; I got assigned to the project at some point, and eventually sort of took it over entirely, for whatever reason, giving instructions for how to complete each element and supervising, lol.
I have many years of academic knowledge of Greek temples and their construction methods, so I can faithfully say that this is just about the most accurate rendition possible of a Doric Greek temple from late classical, to early Hellenistic period , in terms of proportion, elements, ratios of parts, column numbers, architectural elements, materials, ornamental patterns, and overall plan that minecraft is capable of. If you look carefully at out work, you can pick out triglyphs, mutules, astragals, and pretty much every other major Doric detail.
Based on size requirements to get this scale of detail, it was constructed from sea level to clouds.
Needless to say, blocks were spawned during construction.
Favorite quote from construction (by a visitor): "... Your cathedral has far too many half blocks....."
and here are some pics from during constructions- some of them look like ruins, which is funny, since they are basically ruins in reverse:
People involved:

Did you enter the Nether on your save file? Currently it has glitches in the chunks and whatnot. VERY buggy. My friend said he lost like half of a mountain because of it.
