The Real Story of the Ancient Olympic Games

The Real Story of the Ancient Olympic Games

An exhibition from The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology

"The ancient Olympic Games were primarily a part of a religious festival in honor of Zeus, the father of the Greek gods and goddesses. The festival and the games were held in Olympia, a rural sanctuary site in the western Peloponnesos.

The Greeks that came to the Sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia shared the same religious beliefs and spoke the same language. The athletes were all male citizens of the city-states from every corner of the Greek world, coming from as far away as Iberia (Spain) in the west and the Black Sea (Turkey) in the east.

This website is a comprehensive resource about the ancient Olympic Games and reveals how similar our current games are in comparison."

The problem of the poor: faith, science and poverty in 19th century Britain | The National Archives

Recommended by THF.

A podcast from The National Archives.

The problem of the poor: faith, science and poverty in 19th century Britain

Dr. John Shaw discusses Victorian attitudes to the poor and how they developed over the 19th century. As the Church tried to decide whether charity was the solution or part of the problem, Victorian science afraid of 'degeneration' in Britain began to suggest some sinister solutions of its own. This podcast is part of The National Archives A level Masterclass and is particularly suitable for AS and A2 students who are considering studying History to degree level.

Author: Dr John Shaw Duration: 43:25

The Origins and Ancient History of Wine

“The Origins and Ancient History of Wine”

An exhibition from The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology

Fermented beverages have been preferred over water throughout the ages: they are safer, provide psychotropic effects, and are more nutritious. Some have even said alcohol was the primary agent for the development of Western civilization, since more healthy individuals (even if inebriated much of the time) lived longer and had greater reproductive success.

This website introduces you to ancient wine-making practices in the neolithic period, in ancient Egypt, and Mesopotamia.
