Explore Ancient Olympia’s glorious past using your iPhone, where history comes to life with the new Ancient Olympia app. Delve into the epicenter of the ancient Greek world during the exceptional Ancient Games, a celebration of humanity amidst political diversity.

The Ancient Olympia app offers more than a mere historical overview; it delves into cultural archaeology. Through your iPhone’s camera, embark on an enriching Augmented Reality (AR) tour of the site’s sprawling monuments revitalized by Microsoft AI.

Despite the remarkable cultural importance of Olympia, what remains today is scant, a testament to the ravages of war, earthquakes, and climate change. However, with this app, you can virtually explore reconstructed monuments in full 360 degrees — and even venture inside them. Uncover the intricate workings of the Ancient Games, from athletic competitions like wrestling and chariot racing to religious ceremonies displaying oracles and sacrificial practices.

Some Sanctuary monuments date back as far as 600 BC, with the Temple of Zeus (470 - 456 BC) housing one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: a grand golden statue honoring the king of gods and Greek god of lightning. Step into the reconstructed temple to discover the tale behind this colossal statue’s creation and significance to ancient Greeks.

Over 40,000 attendees once congregated at Olympia in a spirit of peace, cooperation, equality, and respect that resonates with today’s values. Despite happening centuries ago, the activities at Ancient Olympia fostered principles still cherished by humanity today. Embrace a connection with the past through this dynamic time capsule powered by Microsoft AI.

Download Ancient Olympia now to embark on an enthralling journey.

This innovative app is a collaborative effort between Microsoft and the Hellenic Ministry of Culture & Sport.
