00:21The exhibition here shows that all these three big civilizations,
00:24they all brought something and they have something to bring us.
00:28And at the modern time Olympics they also have heritage, they also brought novelty
00:33and it does level things but in a way that they stop creating stereotypes and wrong ideas about the past
00:42and also maybe the way we look at other people, they do things, it's not better or worse, it's just different.
00:50And this is what it says here, it's a different way to promote sport, to do physical activities
00:55and we just have to be open to how people do and promote things.

01:07I think this is a very, very good way to bring people that would maybe come to see an archaeological exhibition,
01:24but would be attracted to see the material culture which is archaeology,
01:30archaeology is material culture of more recent games and to be brought maybe
01:35or have the opportunity to think about this long history through these modern objects.
01:40So for me it's a really good match.
