Olympics: 7 seditious facts

It is somewhat unknown when and, by and large, it is not known where the authors who lived write about the Olympic Games. They write a lot and colorfully. They write convincingly. Names of champions, statues and religious cults, mention of kings, names of cities, details of events.

The Olympic Games in some way, not very clear from the context, are associated with the Olympiads, that is, the chronological-calendar invention of the ancients.

The Olympics are a very attractive thing for a researcher. They were counted and celebrated for a long time and regularly. Many important civilizational events of both civil and religious nature are tied to them.

However, in the official version of the history of the Olympic Games everything is false - dates, geography, frequency. On the basis of materials from the book "Games Pleasing to the Gods" by II Kurinny, Kramola decided to deal with another historical forgery.

The Olympics and the Olympics are not the same

The Olympiad is a four-year cycle introduced by Hercules to streamline time and the convenience of remembering the past. Is a four-year cycle introduced by Hercules to streamline time and the convenience of remembering the past.

There were several Olympic Games, namely five, they were held in different places, were dedicated to the Olympian gods and therefore were called Olympic (i.e., simply sacred), celebrating during the Olympic (i.e. sacred) four years. In each Olympiad, a number of significant sports and cultural games were held. That is, each Olympiad contained games, but was not a period of time between games. The games were intended to mark the boundaries and milestones of the Olympiads so that they do not go unnoticed.

Legendary Olympia

Historians of the 19th century have narrowed the concept of Olympia down to the small Slavic village of Servia, near which one of the ancient stadiums was excavated. A stadium in Greece is far from unique. There were many stadiums, like games. Each more or less significant town had its own stadium and its own tradition of games. But only the most significant of these games could be called Olympic.

However, as mentioned above, the Olympic Games were held, along with Olympia, in several other places, namely in Delphi, Nemea and Isthma. The names are famous and, of course, they are all stamped on modern maps. Finding them is not difficult. It is believed that all these areas were located in Central Greece, around the Gulf of Corinth in a circle with a diameter of a couple of hundred kilometers. It would seem that everything is clear.

But the connection of Olympia to any locality, before the 18th century, simply did not exist. Olympia lived only in poems and was located only on the pages of ancient stories. In those days, it could be placed anywhere else, where there is a hill, a river and a temple.

Moreover, the main source of the entire history of the Olympics, Lloyd in his work "History of the Olympiads" makes the categorical conclusion that Olympia was in Dacia:

“Since ancient times, this area has been called Olympia according to a legend relating to the Ides of Hercules. Olympia refers to Dacia, where the Pythian oracle, located in Delphi, was located."

Most often, in connection with the description of Olympia by ancient authors, the river Istres is mentioned, that is, the modern Danube. There is reason to believe that Olympia was somewhere in the immediate vicinity of this great European river.

Today Olympia is a tiny town or a village with a couple of streets and a couple of hotels for tourists, which, in fact, are the only source of income for local residents. A hundred and fifty years ago it was very quiet and deserted here. Nobody disturbed the local shepherds, except for a few strange scientists with shovels who spoke German and were constantly digging or building something. The locals themselves had no idea what historical place they were lucky enough to be born in and what easy money fate would bring them in the near future.

There are no traces of impressive excavations in Olympia, all the structures of antiquity stand on the surface and it is obvious that they were never buried deep underground. Old shovels, vessels, coins, all sorts of utensils that are presented there can be found in any place where people have lived for more than a hundred years.

Olympiad and early Christianity

It is believed that there were initially fundamental differences between the mythical ancient (antique) and Christian religions. Ancient priests disliked Christians, and Christians disliked ancient priests and supporters of their faith. At first, the polytheists persecuted Christians, oppressing and oppressing them, and then, when the Christians seized power, they more than recouped their recent offenders, destroying their faith, destroying churches and anathematizing their leaders. Olympia here should provide us with seemingly excellent illustrative material. After all, the Olympic Games were the most sacred cult of the old religion, and Zeus, Hercules, Dionysus and other gods were the most, that neither is, a vivid embodiment of "that vicious faith."

But the early Christians were very respectful of Zeus and his descendants. For example, in the caves, where, according to legend, Hercules descended into the kingdom of the dead, the first Christian temples were set up, and in the temples, once dedicated to Zeus by the "ancient" Greeks, Orthodox holidays were held and religious cults were celebrated.

The first Olympiad game is celebrated at Easter. The first Olympiad of modern times was on April 6, 1896, on Easter Monday of a leap year, in which Easter of different Christian denominations coincided. This is a historical fact that is not usually remembered.

By the way. When the first archaeologists appeared in Olympia, the former temple of Zeus was there … a Christian sanctuary.

Dating

By calculating dates of the first Olympiad and medieval scholars-priests were engaged. This date is the key to building the desired chronology.

In the column of primary sources opposite the original date: - 776 is the same name - Joseph Scaliger. It has already been said that Bishop Lloyd in his "History of the Olympiads" refers to Scaliger only twice. And both times at “fateful” chronological points. In the start date of the Olympiads and the start date of the "second stage" of games.

It is because of this that the date - 776 remains unshakable for many centuries, because this is the number introduced by the founder of the accepted chronology today.

The end date was the fruit of an obvious mistake - a curiosity, and the start date of the Olympiads was the fruit of calculations of the dubious accuracy of the priest Julius Afrikan, analyzing the prophecies of Daniel, and confirmed by no less dubious accuracy by the astronomical calculation of Joseph Scaliger.

Thus, Scaliger's calculations were designed to substantiate the hallucinations (prophecies) of a certain prophet Daniel, one of whose main achievements is the prediction of the time of the coming of the Messiah, and at the same time the end of the world. It was because of the importance and interest of these moments for Christians that Daniel became a very important and revered biblical figure. This information was formulated in the form of the so-called "Prophecies of the Seventy Weeks." It is characteristic that the medieval priests perceived these prophecies as truth by definition, though incomprehensible, but indisputable. The church fathers got down to business and, tirelessly, began to interpret the dates captured in the biblical stories. On the basis of Daniel's predictions, many times of important ancient events were calculated. Including the date of the first Olympiad. This "became possible" due to the parallel dating of some biblical events over the years from the kings and the years according to the Olympic account.

Strange Source: The History of the Olympiads by Bishop Lloyd

Lloyd's book has not been reprinted for several centuries and is practically inaccessible to a wide range of readers. It is not even in the central Olympic library in Lausanne (Switzerland). This repository of books contains almost everything related to the Olympic movement. Books and articles on methodology, statistics, history of sports. But such a primary source as Lloyd's Chronology of the Olympiadum is not exhibited here.

In Lloyd's book, the density of our knowledge about games decreases the more noticeably the closer the games are to us. We know much more about the games of deep antiquity than about the games that are a millennium closer to our time. The last decades of the Olympic Games in general, judging by Lloyd's table, have not been described by anyone.

The entire chronological table of the Olympic Games in this book is wrong.

Strange protests against the ban of the Games in the 14th century

The first critics of the prohibition of games and advocates for their resumption appear at the end of the fifteenth century. This is practically the time of their ban! That is, the “great humanists” did not advocate the resumption of the tradition, interrupted one thousand hundred years ago, but for the abolition of the ban on games, which had just come out of the pen of the new emperor. This is quite understandable. The games probably had their fans from all walks of life, as they do today.

One of the first attempts to revive the concept of the Olympic Games was made by the Italian Renaissance statesman Matteo Palmieri (1405–75), referring to the ideas of the ancient world in his treatise (around 1450), where he polemicized with the church and feudal authorities.

He was opposed by his compatriot and contemporary, physician and historian of physical education, Jerome Mercurialis, who opposed games (that is, apparently supporting the authorities in banning them) in his work "De arte gymnastics".

In 1516, the lawyer Johannes Aquilla organized his Olympic Games in Baden (probably in protest and in an attempt to renew the glorious tradition in a new place). The English playwright Thomas Kid (1544–90) actively showed scenes from the history of Olympism from the stage. Generally speaking, itinerant theaters of the 16th century, showing scenes from Olympic competitions, appear to be reproducing what playwrights saw with their own eyes in youth or childhood. In an extreme case, something that still living eyewitnesses, eyewitnesses of older generations could tell them, and not something that humanity has not seen for a thousand years.

With the support of King James I of England, the Crown Prosecutor Robert Dover organized a series of competitions in 1604 called the Olympic Games. Anyone could participate in the competitions of athletes, wrestlers, horsemen, regardless of gender and class. The games were accompanied by a kind of "cultural program" that included hunting, dancing, singing, music, and chess. The competition has become very popular and has been held for almost 100 years.

It is clear that the outbreak of debate and attempts to revive the tradition of the Olympic Games since the mid-15th century testifies to the real end of the official games. It is hard to believe that for no apparent reason, more than a thousand years later, they began to discuss whether the emperors of antiquity correctly banned the game or not.

Pharmapiada

First, professional sports have long been a competition not of people, but of pharmaceutical technologies. Secondly, all kinds of doping scandals are just a political stick for the disobedient.

Thirdly, doping will soon become the new philosophy of sport.

A striking example is the Chinese. They took over the hosting of the 2008 Olympic Games and promised to demonstrate a small sports miracle, and, in simple terms, to wipe everyone's nose. Well, they succeeded.

The state, which previously took the third or fourth place in the overall team classification, in 2008 not only became the first, but overtook its closest competitor, the US national team, by 15 gold medals, having made an increase from 32 medals in the Athens Games (2004) to 51st at the games in Beijing (2008) and increasing the total number of prizes from 63 to 100 (!).

Naturally short and frail, the Chinese received one of the tallest basketball teams in the world and one of the strongest weight lifting teams. They began to swim and run well, which was not very noticeable for them before. This cannot be called simply an increase in the result. It's an explosion. What is this "explosive" that provided such acceleration?

Here are some finishing touches:

Live blood in a test tube - even at a considerable distance from the body - is covered by the same control as blood in the body, therefore, when a familiar test protein is added to a test tube, the corresponding restructuring of antibodies is quickly performed there (by the way, it is in this connection between blood in a test tube and the blood in the body is the solution to the fact that exposure to blood in a test tube causes a corresponding reaction in the body - which has long been practiced by sorcerers and other specialists). Before the most important starts, blood is taken from the obvious favorites - as if for a doping test. After that, the favorites often do not show all that they are capable of. Pure coincidence.

Back in 2006, 200 thousand doping tests were made in the world. 3,887 turned out to be positive; only about 2%. Does this mean that the remaining 98% of athletes certainly do not use any artificial drugs or methods? Maybe the fact is that part of it is masked, and part of it has not yet learned to identify? And maybe gene doping is no longer a conspiracy rumor?

The question arises: how to legitimize what has become the default feature in sports?

New philosophy. Doping is fair. Doping, moreover, gene is what eliminates the injustice committed by nature. Nature is cruel. She gives some gifts generously, and deprives others. The disadvantaged have no chance of being the first. Under no circumstances, under any desire, under any coaching methods. The only thing that can help them is the mind of medical doctors and progressive scientific trends.

A society where gene doping will be widespread is made up of millions of mutants. Non-mutants will have less and less place in such a society. Old people will be doomed to extinction, as they will be uncompetitive. Supertaxis with phenomenal reactions, super loaders working two shifts at a high pace, super soldiers without fear or pain. Brave New World …

Are all these fantasies that have nothing to do with reality? Let's see, it won't be long to wait, just look at the graphs of the world records of recent years.
