The prologue of the 1938 film "Olympia" directed by Leni Riefenstahl. It features shots of the Acropolis, ancient statues, athletes and the lighting of the Olympic flame. Olympia was commissioned by the International Olympic Committee for the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Music from the soundtrack of "Alexander" (2004) by Vangelis. (Only the last 15 seconds of the video were edited to fit the music - the rest of the film remains untouched.)
