I like the possibility of Nemea. If it is the Temple of Zeus in the hippies pic then that could be the museum in the background. This overhead shot is titled "Santuary of Zeus from the South with museum in foreground 1990" so it is old. It looks like a field in the northwest corner and is bordered by shrubs (matches with Ray background??). There is also a road that might match one of Ray's backgrounds. The road runs along the shrubs and you can see a parked vehicle to the left of a large cypress tree in one of Ray's pics.

Speaking of temples, here is something to ponder. From the beginning we have been assuming that the temple shown at the beginning of the latest promo over which the titles "Every Four Years" etc.are place was the Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens. But checking closer I find that this temple (also in ruins) only has SIX DORIC columns on the front end of the temple. The Parthenon has EIGHT DORIC columns. So this is some other temple some other place. Perhaps if we can locate this particular temple, we will also find the location of our Olympic tryouts!
puddin:
maybe so Gman
I'm sure now banzai is right , the reused Segesta
this shot matches the introflash of the Parthenon
puddin:
I have to run but heres one , maybe someone can look around Agora !
maybe its not Parthenon ! Gman may have solved the mystery !
actually this is the original from the introcaps
Hephaistos Temple above the ancient Agora (marketplace)
which formed the centre of social and civic life in ancient Athens
