The Olymipic games began over

two thousand seven hundred

years ago in Olympia, South West

Greece and happened every

four years. they did this

to worship Zeus [the god of

all gods/goddesses] and give

him offerings of love.

They created the Olympics

because they loved competition

of all sorts. Every four years,

although the ancient games were

staged in ancient Greece.

the Olympic continued even after Greece

was conquered by Rome, but the last

game were held in 394 A.D., after which

they were abolished by Emperor

Thedosius 1 as a pagan festival.
