Olympia Racecourse discovered
An ancient hippodrome has been discovered in recent months at Olympia. This seemed a topical post given the imminent start of the Olympic Games.
Archaelogists have been continuously excavating the site since since 1875 and the discovery confirms historic writings about the racecourse from the 2nd Century AD. However it had been assumed that the remains had been lost as a result of floodings in the area.
