391 AD they shut down the games. In 405 AD they murdered the last librarian, Hypatia, in Alexandria and burned the Seripium. In 529 AD they closed the Academy of Athens and sent the scholars into exile. The Christians of late antiquity turned off a lot of lights prior the dark ages.
Also, the alexandrian library was destroyed by muslims fer in the middle ages. Christians probably destroyed some pagan books, but they admired ancient thinkers and preserved their works in monasteries.
+Joseph Ang History must always be taught in absolute truths. Patriarch Cyril and his Lackey Peter, along with a mob of Christians were responsible for the death of Hypatia, (daughter of Theon), and there is no question among historians . Theophilus, mentor of Cyril, burned the Seripium to the ground in a show of Christian dominion a decade earlier. Orestes, the last of the secular governors of Alexandria, was deposed and exiled soon after the death of his friend Hypatia. The library had no protection and was lost in history after these events. All literary focus after Christian hegemony was established in Alexandria at the beginning of the 5th century was Theological drivel. These events were almost 200 years prior to the blood and devastation wrought by the invading Muslims. I doubt the 4th century Christians had any respect for preserving pagan works on geometry, or neoplatonism. Christianity is best when it submits to secular laws and secular science. It is worst when theological laws and education are the laws of the land.

And the winners were granted with 'free meals for life,' I recall reading that somewhere. A boon that was sometimes extended to that winner's immediate family, again I read that somewhere.

hi Ted-Ed your videos really help me build my nologe even though I'm only 12 my mum will often be outsmarted by me so thank you for you videos and please keep making more
So the Olympiads began just 23 years before the founding of Rome in 753 BC (of which the Roman calendar was based) and lasted for millenia (more than 11 centuries at least). They saw the Founding of Rome (as a Kingdom), the Roman Republic and most of the Roman Empire.

Don't blame Christianity. Emperor Constantine of the Byzantine Empire was also a Christian but he was okay with the Olympics. Plus, 98% of modern Greeks are Christians since the Roman times. (making it the 2nd most Christian nation not counting the Vatican).
I really love this video because its sound is awsome and because I can learn so much of this. Edit: I also love the way it looks actually looks like its an old movie :D
Brilliant history about the olympics. It seems like by looking at the Paris olympics opening, honouring of pagan gods is coming back. From Sunny South Africa
In my school, we learned the Olympic game story, and we like everyone like the story my class like the story my teacher, Miss Rivera, Miss Cochran, everyone like you and Miss calroy 0:16
It is said that men from different cities used to compete and when the winner to his homeland they used to destroy the protecting walls of the city. That's because they were proud for his win and sure enough they have someone with strong mind and body to protect the land from enemies 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
I believe the first modern olympic games were hosted in England in 1850. It was known as the Wenlock Olympian Games held in the small town of Much Wenlock. Give it a Google if you don't believe me!!
+Sam H That's partly true. Many used the name "Olympics" before the first modern Olympiad, although most of them werent exactly international events. It is true that the "Wenlock Olympian Games" of 1850, And the "Olympic Games of Athens" in 1856 played an important role in the formation of the IOC some years later, however neither are regarded as the first modern Olympic games. The first Modern Olympics organized by the International Olympic Comitee, which was founded by in 1890 by Pierre de Coubertin and presided by Demetrios Vikelas, occured in Athens, in 1896. That's why we count the Olymipiads since this event, and that's why Greece always enters the stadium first, as the country that was the home of the original games, both ancient, and modern.
😒 exactly. As the video says Olympic Games stopped during the reign of the Roman Emperor Theodosius...in the 4th century after Christ. During the Christian era of the Roman Empire...so, you confuse the timeline....great comment thought
The Olympic Committee should bring back the poetry event of the Summer games.
Thomas Harlovic true
Agreed!
Ah nothing reminds me of ancient Greece like a 1940s-like TV broadcast.

go winter olympics!!!!!
I am so glad the Olympic games were revived. I wish more of such things happened.
4 years ago lol
@@Notorious-AP 1 minute ago lol
OHM-968692 the olympics are every 4 years its cool lol
Like build a "Neo Pompei"
they were not revived. Some capitalist commercialized sports event happens to bear the same name

+CHAS1422 That's why we had the dark ages. Who turned out the lights? Why the Christians turned them out.
It is not clear who killed Hypatia, and you could blame many pagan and christian thinkers who were very anvious of her.
Also, the alexandrian library was destroyed by muslims fer in the middle ages.
Christians probably destroyed some pagan books, but they admired ancient thinkers and preserved their works in monasteries.

Well... this didn't aged like wine
You forgot to explain that they started the olympics to honor Nike, the goddess of victory and competition
Not sponsored
@Jocelyn Bencosme Everything is based on Greek mythology😹
you know, its interesting how so many companies and places in the modern age are influenced by acient greek and Roman names.
No... zeus the king of gods
Some say if u promote adidas shoes, u will get Nike’s attention
The Olympic spirit will never die.

Be productive rather than destructive
your info helps me a lot thanks
Awesome Video Thanks.
I was hoping for a video about Olympus. I read the title wrong...
This is awesum
Don't blame Christianity. Emperor Constantine of the Byzantine Empire was also a Christian but he was okay with the Olympics. Plus, 98% of modern Greeks are Christians since the Roman times. (making it the 2nd most Christian nation not counting the Vatican).
this video came in our maths quiz competition 😃

I gotta get this done for my social studies class
I really love this video because its sound is awsome and because I can learn so much of this. Edit: I also love the way it looks actually looks like its an old movie :D
Grrrreeeeeeaaattttt video guys
They should bring back music and literature for the Olympics.
AND HERE WE ARE CELEBRATING THE gods FROM THE PAST AND PEOPLE CANT EVEN REALIZE >_>
can you do egyptian gods?
I love the olyimpics its so cool to learn where they come from
It’s amazing information
a great everlasting legend!

what is it with guys posting single letters
Hello my teacher wanted me to watch this for history
A lot of interesting facts. I wonder: why does a man think that tear away his clothes will help him during a competition?
Its got to do with Ancient Greek culture and their appreciation of the male physique.
New subscriber :D
Why does this sound like a 1920s documentary
Tailteann Games in Ireland are much older than the Olympics
La profe te mando el video, verdad?

then it was made for folks like you
I thought this is about Greek gods
I am not busy ikr, all he talked about is the game
"Olympics"...not "OLYMPUS"
@@yelyharmony2047 the usage of 'ancient origins' definitely gave some sort of mythical vibe so I guess I was mistaken
Yes is games for ancient Greek gods
Olympius = A mountain in Greece
Olympia = A town in Greece.
our teacher showed this to us and when the part where the dude ran without pants my teachers face was hilarious :D lollololol
What was the first game to be played at the Olympics?
Sir i really like your video, can i save your video and i use it for my study in college, i will put your channel on our video❤

So when Athens hosted in 2004, did they come first or last? Since the host country marches in last.
Was this made in 1967
the olympics actually continued throughout the roman reign so.... great vid thought
😒 exactly. As the video says Olympic Games stopped during the reign of the Roman Emperor Theodosius...in the 4th century after Christ. During the Christian era of the Roman Empire...so, you confuse the timeline....great comment thought
Virgil was a roman poet
The olympics existed well into the Roman Empire.
And only Greeks participated.
I ment the ocean liner
Somewhere in the comments is and Indian kid saying the Olympics started in India, and India number 1.
Just searching this up bc I'm into history 😐💪
Very nice
and yet Christmas an obvious Pagan Festival was not banned.
Wow! I didn't know ancient greeks had TV's and microphones and computers able to do video editing and effects.
BUT why Theodosius banned Olympics...?????😕😕
What is the summary
Yes
should have mentioned baron rober pieere de coubertine as well. he was the one to initiate the modern olympics
Bring back the foot race.
Honestly was watching this cause I’m curious
