They use special oils and stuff to do this. It was a bit unusual,

that's how I found out that the pyramids was use to create a

World of Sport

Which cities have hosted the Olympics?

Discuss your answers.

Read the essay. ,

The Ancient and Modern Olympics

The modern Olympics of today are based on the ancient Olympics of thousands of years

ago. In some ways, the modern and ancient games are similar. In other ways, they are

very different.

The ancient and modern Olympics have a lot in common. Like the modern Olympics, the

ancient games were events for athletes held every four years. In addition, both the modern

and ancient Olympics were started to help encourage peace. Perhaps the most important

similarity is that like the modern Olympics, the ancient games were a very popular event.

However, there are big differences between the ancient and

modern Olympic Games. Modern Olympic winners get medals,

while ancient athletes did not. Unlike the ancient games, the

modern games have both summer and winter versions. Possibly

the most important difference is that the ancient games were

just for men from Greece, whereas the modern games are for

men and women from all over the world.

The ancient and modern Olympics have a lot of similarities and

differences. It would be a mistake to think they are exactly the

same kind of event.
