The BCE Greeks and their deities that encouraged excellence. Iliad and the Odyssey, for starters. And their games with the BCE Greek Cities having an ingrained tradition of 'free meals for life,' for the Heroes of those games. Along came the Romans with Constantine and the Theodosius.

[@anitha5895]

Amazing video. Nice to see.

[@ar3728]

I don't understand one thing about the documentary simulations: is widely known that the ancient greeks did practice and compete always fully naked in the gymnasium and in the Olympics, except for the running with shield, but the actors/models were wearing this kind of diaper all along, but in the bath recreation they are showed naked. They were supposed to be naked all the time as the ancient greek athletes did.

Some of the people that speak in the video talk about what the ancient greeks must have been like based most on their opinion and against what the archelogy has clearly shown.

The Goths during the late Roman period and the Slavs during the early Byzantine period swept through Greece. Also, Constantine the Great may have hauled off some treasure to beautify Constantinople. I think that the Goths dismantled the statue of Zeus.

They ran naked, so why have them dressed here?

[@TheOriginalGankstar]

I find it laughable that this dude claims he's better than any single athlete of the jumps in Ancient times with his 17m sequence of jumps. I find this to be highly dubious, especially given the many centuries of history for Greece to unearth special talents.

[@helenamcginty4920]

Oh come on. They fought naked. Give us girls a break eh? 😂😂

[@Alamito24]

The intro shows a woman in the crowd and women are scattered throughout. Women were forbidden at the Olympic Games. The games were all male events. Lovely film, other than that. Looked into the women attending Olympic Games in ancient times and seems I was not entirely accurate. Quite a few opinions indicate that young unmarried girls (some say virgin girls) could attend. Never too old to learn ...

[@stevewagner7507]

It is generally accepted that unmarried women were allowed to watch (at least for some of the years of its existence),

[@Alamito24]

Steve Wagner Perhaps only if they were priestesses? Given how separated sexes were, for example, even in domestic life in Greek society, it strikes me as odd random women would be allowed at the Olympic Games. Maybe at other highly celebrated games women were permitted to attend?

[@carissafisher7514]

I learned that women attended as well.

[@elenasaranti2473]

[@siriuslee9615]

Elena Schneider I so enjoyed this but Laurel ❓wow , that's very strange . Getting the basics wrong makes me curious about what else may not be accurate .

[@duncanmckinnon]

OMG. Why are you showing the athletes clothed? The world knows they were naked, because it was one of the 'rules' of athletic competition. If it's because you don't want to offend anyone, then those who are offended should not look. But the truth is the truth. Come on, if you want realism then get their damn loin clothes OFF and let the world make of it what they want!

[@jeremiahcastro9700]

*The presumptive attitudes of these historians is sickening...* next time just focus on the story telling and don't throw in your opinions if you've never saddled your ass on a horse or gone to the gym on a regular basis, or competed in any sporting events. *It seems that in our modern age of sedentarianism* it is difficult to believe that our ancient ancestors could attempt such physical feats of speed, strength, and endurance. While it's appreciated that they made efforts to unearth and share this ancient history, please do not devalue the achievements of our ancient men and women just because a SELECT FEW people cannot imagine how it was done. *I feel and believe* that these historians and those of whom are like in opinion, neglect the clear evidence of how such great feats were achieved by the ancient Greeks. For one they had a reverence for the gods and dedicated their games to them. Next their philosophy was rooted in order and control in a midst of chaos and agony. Next the men were highly trained in the military: therefore the training in the games and competition in it only built further upon their strong foundation. *In short* their minds were first turned upward to the gods which in turn moved them to align their thoughts and actions with what would be honorable to the gods whom they served. An example lacking in today's sports where many men and women simply compete for their own vain glory.

[@tobysi5281]

why did you try and sum up the entire documentry

[@davidcolley9733]

Jeremy You base your comments about the informed comments of others on your presumptions and beliefs, and then complain about using presumptions. History is about interpreting the evidence and that's what this documentary attempted to do, and it changes in the light of new evidence too. If being religious and in the military were significant factors in performing outstanding feats, then outstanding athletic feats would be performed by only soldiers and the religious today. But they aren't. Also if you think that the ancient athletes didn't compete to win and bask in the glory of the win, you're kidding yourself. I realise the documentary may have burst a bubble or two of yours, but that's what happens when new evidence comes to light.

@@jeremiahcastro9700 Never really addressed my comment and really just deflected from it. God has nothing to do with anything, that's why there are and have been many varieties of god over the years and god-fearing countries have messed up as massively as those who claim to have no god.

[@friedrichzizek6700]

@@davidcolley9733 his point is clear, people dismiss ancient people easily because they think modernity is always better but many athletes in Greece were payed to train all day. They actively supported and encouraged people to do sports and gifted people were searched for. There are stones who weight 180kg engraved with the name of the athlete who pushed it over his head. These guys must have been absolute massive
