Beijing did that too. But it had a different cultural outlook. Besides, their ancient culture is still with them daily. Confucianism is still alive, everybody still uses the 4 great inventions.... China really hasn't changed much. Too bad they didn't obligate themselves to praise the Greek heritage of the Olympics. Maybe they thought it wasn't necessary since they already have a 5,000 year continuing culture to present in one night.

I disagree that Beijing's was messy and unconnected. I think this is because of cultural misunderstanding. It had to introduce China's 5,000 year old continuing culture while projecting itself as a modern power. So instead of a linear history lesson, it focused on their 4 great inventions. Each number had many layers. Example: the printing press segment was also about Confucianism, evolution of calligraphy, and the Great Wall.

Hello people everywhere. Be glad because afterall, WE ARE ALL GREEKS!!!Greece is the cradle of The Western Cilization. Sciences, Arts,Law, etc. are still used today. Roman-Latin language has been totally influenced and borrowed words from the Greek Language.Aproximately there are about 490,000 words greek or of greek origin. So can we really denie our origins, our past? The Western Civilization is in fact the Greek Civilization! And we are all Greeks!
