Greek Fires Reach Ancient Olympics Site

Greek Fires Reach Ancient Olympics Site

Firefighters backed by aircraft dropped water and foam on the birthplace of the
ancient Olympics Sunday to stop wildfires from burning the 2,800-year-old ruins,
one of the most revered sites of antiquity.


There was a case in Colorado where a wild fire actually helped historians and researchers, the same might be true here. You can assume to a point that anything that has lasted thousands of years of the weathering effects of the environment will last through a fire. In Colorado what happened was that the fired burned plant matter that was covering previously unknown relics. The same thing could be true with this fire, it could serve to uncover ruins that were unknown until the present.
