New Site Design
Mysteries of the Unexplained now offers a secondary, low bandwidth version of the site. Please check it out and let us know what you think in the forums.
Personal Server
Mysteries of the Unexplained is proud to announce that is now is running off of its own server. While this will offer faster load times, it will also mean that the site will be down more often than it used to be simply because we must now figure out and run the server ourselves.
Statue of Zeus at Olympia
January 1st, 2009 by MotU Overseer
"On his head is a sculpted wreath of olive sprays. In his right hand he holds a figure of Victory made from ivory and gold... In his left hand, he holds a sceptre inlaid with every kind of metal, with an eagle perched on the sceptre. His sandals are made of gold, as is his robe. His garments are carved with animals and with lilies. The throne is decorated with gold, precious stones, ebony, and ivory." - Pausanias
