Ancient Olympia - For Honour and an Olive Branch, Greece | Treasures of the World

The Olympic Games have been held on the Peloponnese since 776 BC and for around 1000 years. Until earthquakes, historical upheavals and the muddy floods of the river Kladeos caused the field of honor to sink.

1000 years of sporting feats, the struggle for honor and the olive branch. Stories of heroes and demigods - and of scandals. In Olympia, the bases of statues of victors, the column stumps, and the temple sections can be read like a sport and cult almanac.

UNESCO has been protecting the world's most valuable natural and cultural monuments as the "Heritage of Humanity" since 1972. The television series “Treasures of the World” tells of these places in impressive images.
