Natural disasters have completely destroyed the once hallowed site. This graphic reproduction nevertheless provides us with a look into the past. The temple, a 20-meter-high columned hall, had a roof made of marble panels. Inside its walls resided the statue of Zeus, acknowledged today as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. It was 1766 before an English researcher rediscovered the lost site. Years later, German scientists began excavating sculptures and remnants of the columns, which had been perfectly preserved by a thick layer of mud. But no traces were found of the legendary image of Zeus. According to some sources, the statue of Olympia's ruler was destroyed when Emperor Theodosius II banned the games in 426 and closed the temple. Other sources allege that the statue was dismantled and transported to Constantinople, where it was reportedly burned.
