7. This is really interesting

I had no idea seemingly legitimate sources were trying to make themselves seem more interesting by spinning ancient ancient objects in this way, but it makes sense that they'd try to increase readership and think this would help. I guess you could also say that the early Olympic athletes were nude because the games were really pornography and not athletic events, but I've never heard that claimed. Should I guess why nobody has made this kind of claim about the early Olympics?
