| Stanley reaches new heights. |
You are here with Stan the Man at the battle site of Thermopolae! With great detective skills, navigational knowhow and a little luck, your Action Man Stan is on the scene in 3 D !!! Just between you and me, there is not much here--just a memorial to mark a point below the pass where the action took place in 480 B.C. 300 Spartans tried to hold off (hold your hats! 1,700,000 Persians. It was King Leonidas of Sparta against the Persian king Xerxes. The Spartans held them off for three days, which bought time for the Spartans to get reinforcements and eventually turn back the Persians.
The round people and I went next door to a new building We don't read Greek which is a problem in Greece. Well, dear friends, it was a brand-new museum and we were the only 3 people in it (except for a nice lady welcoming us). There was a 3 D movie of the battle (in Greek only, still a problem) and 4 interactive displays. You will see your on-scene reporter (me) in them. We don't think the museum is entirely finished, but it certainly was exciting to be the only visitors!!! Look for me below. Bye. Stanley the Great One
