What happened in …? 776 B.C
HISTORY According to historical records, the first ancient Olympic Games can be traced back to 776 B. C. They were dedicated to the Olympian gods and were staged on the ancient plains of Olympia. They continued for nearly 12 centuries, until Emperor Theodosius decreed in 393 A. D. that all such “pagan cults” be banned.
The revival of the Olympic began in 1896, when a young French teacher Pierre de Coubertin persuaded people from 15 countries to start the Olympic Games again. He told people about the importance of sports in uniting peoples of the world and serving the cause of peace, as in ancient times.
