I don't know... But the only thing I can tell that this song was made for NBC by Rampage Music New York.

Needless to say this was nothing compared to the incredible cinematic BBC promos for the Athens Olympics.

gottagothatsme,

Let me say that commercials in the US are very different than the ones broadcasted in the UK. Networks usually make promos appealing to their viewing public.

For people in USA this commercial was one of the best NBC olympics commercials.

Watching this video, you'd think that Santorini makes up 90% of Greece.

Athens was my favorite Olympics - because I a Greek American and proud. However, everyone must understand each country adds its own twist which makes every Olympics unique and exciting. Looking forward to Rio! I'm sure they will put on a show.

@skyduster4 there is no mountainous Greece at all, Pilion, and Crete.

@djlida

All over Greece? Over half the video is Santorini, most of the rest is the Acropolis. There's a few shots of the Shipwreck Cove in Zakynthos, some very, very, very brief shots of Mykonos and Patmos, and a bunch of shots of unidentifiable beaches and staircases. Noticeably absent are: anywhere in the Peloponnese, Crete, Thessalia, Epirus, or Makedonia. No neoclassical Syros, no medieval Meteora or Rhodes' medieval city, no baroque Corfu or Chania, and no Zagoria region or Kastoria.

Relax. Just bc theres a couple bigotted people in Greece doesnt give you the okay to be just as bigotted. FYI, its YOUR country (AMERICANS) that constantly romanticizes Ancient Greece & Rome, & claims to be the successor to Greco-Roman civilization...which sounds absurd to modern-day South Europeans. In the 18th/19th centuries, ancient SOUTH EUROPEAN history came in vogue in Germanic & Anglo countries...hence why the US govt has borrowed so many Greek/Roman legal words & symbols

@skyduster4 Actually,this video includes pictures from many places in Greece,but pictures from Santorini are more than the others.They could use and other places which are different and so wonderfull too!believe me there are so many...!

[kloiros]

it s sooo obvious that it was made from usa

[lostalex77]

@DunhillX1 greece is 100% pure what do you mean by that?? you sound like hitler. so i guess you pay no attention to all of the black greeks, and asian greeks, and all other races of greeks?

fuck off with your racist bullshit.

[lostalex77]

@sevlarievlis the greeks did not found western civilization. the greeks were primitive barbarians, just like the rest of the world at that time. many people think because greece had some smart people they were civilized, they were not.  most of the people of ancient greece were barbaric and illiterate, had no education.

You have romanticized the reality of ancient greece.
