Our SponsorIn honor of the XXVIII Olympiad to be held in Athens, Greece in 2004, Avanti Logic is sponsoring this informative website featuring the history and legacy of the Olympic games.
The Photoenhancements.com team traveled to Greece to visit ancient Olympia and the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens and gather research for this website. The three-week-long trip was packed with excursions to various Olympic sites and trips to the library. We were escorted by a knowledgeable team, who turned out to be excellent company as well. We thank the team at AvantiLogic.com for the unforgettable experience, their hospitality, and the occasional ouzo. During the course of our trip, we quickly realized that this work would not be "another website-building project." We were up against one of the most significant cultures of ancient history. Prior to our trip, we researched the web and studied every book on the subject we could get hold of. No matter! Once we got face to face with the sites and the sculptures in the museum, we were astonished. The exhibits were breathtaking. The museum at Olympia features myriads of artifacts made out of gold, copper, and marble. This is a place where tradition meets elegance and legacy meets grace. A highlight of the exibit is "Hermes" of Praxitelis (see photo above). This statue is a magnificent piece of art, one of the most important sculptures of the period. "Hermes," a product of ancient Greek culture, is now part of our global cultural heritage. Similarly, the Olympic games originated and florished in Greece, yet presently their legacy extends to the international community. AvantiLogic.com, the sponsor of this website, is an IT management firm with a work history in Europe and the United States of America.
