		Olympia was (and is) situated in a rural location, in a valley at the base of Kronos hill (named for the father of Zeus), bordered by the Kladeos river on the west and the Alpheios river along the south.
		In AD 267 the invasions of barbarian tribes prompted the fortification of the sanctuary by using rubble from monuments damaged in the earthquakes of the 3rd century.
		The flooding from both rivers (Kladeos to the west and Alpheios along the south) deposited much silt until the site became completely buried to an average depth of 4 meters.

		The site is located on a particularly lovely, fertile tract of land in the north-western Peloponnese at the junction of the Alphaos and Kladeos Rivers (Figure 1).

		Later flooding of the Alphaos and Kladeos together with erosion of the Kronion hill eventually covered the site in a deposit of silt some seven metres thick.

		The Temple of Zeus, completed in 456 BC, was one of the largest temples in Greece, and perhaps the most renowned example of Doric architecture in the Classical world.
		Today, none of the columns remain standing; earthquakes have taken their toll, and after the early Christian era, Olympia was abandoned to the flooding of the Kladeos River and the changing route of the Alpheios River.
		The building held six columns on each end, with thirteen on the flanks, and, except for the sculpted elements, was built entirely of local shell limestone.

		There is no modern parallel for Olympia; it would have to be a site combining a sports complex and a centre for religious devotion, something like a combination of Wembley Stadium and Westminster Abbey.
		Olympia is situated in a fertile, grassy plain on the north bank of the broad river Alpheios, just to the east of its confluence with the Kladeos, which rushes down to meet it from the mountains of Elis.
		In ancient times the area was pleasantly shaded with plane and olive trees, white poplars and even palm-trees, while vines and flowering shrubs grew thickly beneath them.
