Mount Olympus

Mount Olympus is an extensive massif near the Thermaic Gulf of the Aegean Sea, in Greece, located on the border between Thessaly and Macedonia, between the regional units of Larissa and Pieria, about 80 km (50 mi) southwest from Thessaloniki. Mount Olympus has 52 peaks and deep gorges. The highest peak, Mytikas (Μύτικας Mýtikas), meaning "nose", rises to 2,917.727 metres (9,572.60 ft) and is the highest peak in Greece,] and one of the highest peaks in Europe in terms of topographic prominence.

Mytikas: the highest peak

In Greek mythology, Olympus is the home of the Greek gods, on Mytikas peak. The mountain has exceptional biodiversity and rich flora.

Name and mythological associations

The origin of the name Όλυμπος (Olympos) is unknown. One theory suggests that it is compounded of ou lyma (οὐ λύμα) and pous (πούς), meaning "pure foot", conforming to Hesiod's description of the earth as a sort of footstool for heaven up from which rise the "Blessed Gods".

Christian monuments

In the Olympus region, there are also several Christian monuments, among them the highest-elevation chapel of Orthodox Christianity, dedicated to Prophet Elias, in Greek tradition associated with mountaintops, on the summit of the same name (Προφήτης Ηλίας Profitis Ilias), at 2,803 m. It was built in the 16th century by Saint Dionysios of Olympus, who also founded the most significant monastery in the region.

Sacred Mountains

Sacred mountains are central to certain religions, and are usually the subjects of many legends. For many, the most symbolic aspect of a mountain is the peak because it is believed that it is closest to heaven or other religious realms. Many religions have traditions centered on sacred mountains, which either are or were considered holy, such as Mount Olympus in Greek mythology or are related to famous events like Mount Sinai in Judaism and descendant religions or Mount Kailash, Mount Meru in Hinduism.

Gold Records Reveal Artemis

With many architectural corrections made to the Rondane Mountain region aligning Antares into the planet’s Guardian of the West pillar system, Antares before the Orion Wars may reveal the mystery of the Triple Solar Mary’s Sacred Stagg and Edenic Fawn of God realms that are held within the original Scorpius constellation’s original blueprint that was connected to the Washayanas Gold Order Goddess Artemis. As more of the Gold Records reveal with Golden Kryst Templar recodes repairing Golden Heart Timekeepers for the planetary Michael and Mary Solar Wings and Golden Heart complexes within the Solar Gateways that connect into the organic Gaian Matrix, it suggests that prior to the Orion Invasion between the Antarian Scorpion Queen race battling with the Draconian reptilian races over colonization of our solar system, Gold Order Goddess Artemis had her sun star portal and a throne room originally seated there connected into Mount Olympus.
