Υeah, the Olympics were stopped in 393 AD. I don't blame Christianity for the actions some people did in the name of it, just like I don't blame any religion for the actions of specific people
Theodosius was a criminal for allowing all these persecutions against Dodekatheists under his reign. It's not just the end of the Olympics, a lot of temples and great treasures were destroyed that time because they were related with the old religion.
I love this video!! It practically has everything you need to know about the Olympics.By the way, can someone please tell me what piece of music this is? This is one of my favorites! I could listen to this for hours on end.
I must point out something I saw. Around 4 minutes into the video, which is near the end of video, you said that in 393 BC, Theodosius I ended all non-Christian religions bringing an end into the Olympics. I don't know much about the validity of the claim of whether Christianity was to blame for the end of the Olympics, but I do know however, that Christianity didn't exist in 393 BC. In case you didn't know, BC stands for Before Christ. I'm confused about the meaning of your claim. Take care.
Let's see what Alexander said with his own words shall we ???
" ...Your ancestors came to Macedonia and the rest of Hellas and did us great harm, though we had done them no prior injury. I have been appointed leader of the Greeks, and wanting to punish the Persians I have come to Asia, which I took from you..."
Arrian, Anabasis of Alexander II, 14, 4 (Loeb, P. A. Brunt) - 95-175 AD
An abundance of water is described with the word "vodi" in contemporary Macedonian language. The corresponding ancient Macedonian word for this is the word "vedy". The Greek archaeologist Aliki Stuyanaki in the periodical "Edesaika Hronika" (Edessa, may-august, 1972) advised that the Macedonian city of Voden, to which the Greeks gave the name "Edessa", was originally a Brygian city and its old name was Vedy which means abundance of water.
The name of the Ancient Macedonian city you change.
For on many occasions when I and the other Greeks sent embassies to you begging you to remove from your statutes the law empowering you to get booty from booty, you replied that you would rather remove Aetolia from Aetolia than that law
The Macedonian Philip V verifies his Greek identity:
Polyvius, 18.4.8: For on many occasions when I and the other Greeks sent embassies to you begging you to remove from your statutes the law empowering you to get booty from booty, you replied that you would rather remove Aetolia from Aetolia than that law
...Your ancestors came to Macedonia and the rest of Hellas and did us great harm, though we had done them no prior injury. I have been appointed leader of the Greeks, and wanting to punish the Persians I have come to Asia, which I took from you..."
Arrian, Anabasis of Alexander II, 14, 4 (Loeb, P. A. Brunt) - 95-175 AD
The speech of Alexander I, when he was admitted to the Olympic games
"Men of Athens...
Had I not greatly at heart the common welfare of Hellas I should not have come to tell you; but I am myself Hellene by descent, and I would not willingly see Hellas exchange freedom for slavery....
pfffffff only that you have?That is big lie and that is Aleksandar I not Aleksandar III.
And After that Hellens consider Filip II as a Hellen?hahaha Poor gipses nice try!That is false statment!And for your better education first city of the Macedonians was HELEA first name of Atina!Before u gays camefrom Ethiopia!;)More lesons next time!;)

Curtius Rufus 5.6.1: Alexander called a meeting of his generals the next day. He told them that no city was more hateful to the Greeks than Persepolis, the capital of the old kings of Persia, the city from which troops without number had poured forth, from which first Darius and then Xerxes had waged an unholy war on Europe. To appease the spirits of their forefathers they should wipe it out, he said.
Curtius Rufus 5.8: As for Alexander, it is generally agreed that, when sleep had brought him back to his senses after his drunken bout, he regretted his actions and said that the Persians would have suffered a more grievous punishment at the hands of the Greeks had they been forced to see HIM on Xerxes throne and in his palace.
Josephus 11.8.5: And when the book of Daniel was showed to him (Alexander) wherein Daniel declared that one of the Greeks should destroy the empire of the Persians, he [Alexander] supposed that himself was the person intended
Livius, From the Foundation of the City 31: The Aitolians, the Akarnanians, the Macedonians, men of the SAME speech, are united or disunited by trivial causes that arise from time to time; with aliens, with barbarians, all Greeks wage and will wage eternal war; for they are enemies by the will of nature, which is eternal, and not from reasons that change from day to day
Arrian Anab. 3. 18. 11-12: But Alexander replied that he intended to punish the persians for their invasion of Greece, the destruction of Athens, the burning of the temples, and all manner of terrible things done to the Greeks: because of these things, he was exacting revenge.
Philip II of Macedon, (Greek: Φίλιππος Β' ο Μακεδών — φίλος = friend + ίππος = horse[1] — transliterated Philippos (help·info) 382 336 BC, was a Greek[2][3] king (basileus) of Macedon from 359 BC until his assassination in 336. He was the father of Alexander the Great and Philip III.
Herodotus 5.20.4: Tell your king who sent you how an Greek man, viceroy of the Macedonians (anêr Hellên Makedonôn hyparchos)has received you hospitably
Arrian 2.7: There are Greek troops, to be sure, in Persian service — but how different is their cause from ours ! They will be fighting for pay— and not much of it at that; WE on the contrary shall fight for Greece (tous de xyn sfisin yper tis Ellados ekontas amynomenous) , and our hearts will be in it. As for our Foreign (barbarwn te) troops —Thracians, Paeonians, Illyrians,Agrianes — they are the best and stoutest soldiers of Europe
From this video i see not only white but black people too,how can thay participate in the Ancient Olympic games?When only Hellens were alowed to participate?Does this mean that Hellens were black people?
Someone is lieing all world,something is wrong with the history!
"I happen to know, and I will demonstrate in a subsequent chapter of this history, that these descendants of Perdiccas are, as they themselves claim, of Greek nationality. This was, moreover, recognized by the managers of the Olympic games,. Alexander, however, proved his Argive descent, and so was accepted as a Greek and allowed to enter for the foot-race. He came in equal first." Herodotus book 5. 22.
