Sinopse
“Passage into history” is a film about Ancient Nemea in Greece- the land of the mythical Hercules and the Lion. It is the story of an abandoned archeological site, forgotten Ancient Games, and Prof. Stephen Miller, the American archeologist who over the last four decades has uncovered and restored the site and brought history to life. As we discover this fascinating center of ancient Greek athletics and religion through Dr. Miller's eyes, people from all over the world are gathering for the 2012 Revived Nemean Games . They come to step into the past, see the Temple of Zeus, hear their breathing in the Tunnel, feel the ancient earth under their bare feet, run in the Stadium, be crowned with wild celery- as did athletes over 2300 years ago.We follow their unique experience of a 'passage into history'.
