Where the Gods Were Born: Real Places from Ancient Mythology

The ancient gods weren't just stories—they had addresses. From Mount Olympus where Zeus ruled to the volcanic forge of Hephaestus, we're exploring the REAL locations behind Greek and Roman mythology that you can actually visit today.

🏛️ In This Video:
Mount Olympus - The actual mountain home of the Greek gods
Delphi - Where Apollo's Oracle shaped ancient history
Psychro Cave - The birthplace of Zeus in Crete
Troy - Heinrich Schliemann's legendary archaeological discovery
Lake Avernus - The physical entrance to the underworld
Mount Etna - Hephaestus's forge still erupting today
Rhodes - The island sacred to Helios the sun god

These aren't metaphorical places. These are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, active archaeological digs, and locations with thousands of years of documented worship. The ancient Greeks pointed to specific mountains, caves, and rivers and said "That's where the gods live." Modern archaeology has proven they were describing real geological phenomena—volcanic gases at Delphi, toxic fumes at Lake Avernus, and the perpetual storms around Mount Olympus.

Whether you're a history buff, mythology enthusiast, or planning your next ancient world adventure, this video reveals the stunning truth: mythology was ancient geography. The gods may have faded, but their birthplaces remain, waiting for you to explore.
