Incredible photo from Delphi, 1894.

Archeologists and workers pose in 1894 in front of the well preserved Statue of Antinous (130 BC). It was unearthed near the Temple of Apollo in the sanctuary at Delphi, Greece.
_

Probably one of the most famous historical photos - the photo of the moment the Statue of Antinous was unearthed in 1894 in Greece - extremely well in tact after 2,000 plus years.

It was unearthed near the famed Temple of Apollo in the sanctuary at Delphi by a team of French archaeologists, who in 1891, were granted permission by the Greek government to excavate at Delphi.

Most of the workers were locals from the village of Kastri which, before it was relocated, was built almost on top of the ancient religious site.

In the summer of 1894, the team unearthed the exquisite statue of Antinous, which had been commissioned by the emperor Hadrian in 130 AD.

The story is an interesting if not odd one from the ancient world. Antinous was a young Greek from Bithynia, who became the beloved companion or lover of the Roman emperor Hadrian, but who later died under mysterious circumstances along the Nile.

Greatly dismayed by the death of Antinous, Hadrian, who was an admirer and a passionate supporter of classical Greek antiquity, as well as a benefactor of the Oracle of Delphi, ordered his statue be erected in all sanctuaries and cities of his vast empire.

He additionally ordered the institution and establishment of athletic games in honor of Antinous, who was then honored and worshiped as a god.

So the statue of Antinous was accordingly placed within the sanctuary of Delphi after his death in 130 A.D. It is universally recognized as one of the most beautiful and impressive cult statues of all time. During the excavations, the statue was discovered upright on its pedestal, next to the wall of a brick chamber, alongside the holy Temple.
