CelebrateGreece.com interviews actor Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones) for his final appearance as the famed, whip-cracking archaeologist of movie fiction. What isn't fictional, however, is the real story behind the movie and the real "Dial of Destiny" (a Hollywood term). The device's real name is the "Antikythera Mechanism" which was discovered by a Greek sponge diver in 1900 off the Greek island of Antikythera. Along with many original Greek bronze statues, coins and more, was found a lump of what looked liked cement. Upon x-ray, the lump of cement was the remains of metal gears of the first analog computer (an astrolabe of sorts) that is still being deciphered, but is known to track the phases of the moon, the position of the stars and the occurrences of eclipses, even today when run in computer simulations. It could also able to predict when the most famous, ancient sporting event was to occur! The Antikythera Mechanism is on permanent display at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece. Other than in this short video, you can see the Antikythera Mechanism: https://www.celebrategreece.com/links/2296-3-athens-museums-national-archaeological-museum-acropolis-museum TRIVIA: Philhellene aficionados may notice that the close-up of the "Dial of Destiny" in the movie shows, not Greek characters as is on the real Hellenistic-era Antikythera Mechanism, but rather characters as pictographs similar to what appears on the Minoan-era Phaestos Disc, still fully undeciphered. Perhaps this is a nod from the movie makers to the other famous disc of Greek antiquity? The Phaestos Disc is on permanent display in the Heraklion Archaeological Museum on the Greek island of Crete. See the real Phaestos (Festos; Phestos) Disc: https://www.celebrategreece.com/links/2305-12-greek-island-crete-minoans-minos-minotaur-labyrinth-knossos-phestus-pheastos-palaces-theseus-ariadne-agia-triada-bull Please remember to subscribe to our YouTube Channel and on social media at: https://www.Facebook.com/CelebrateGreece https://www.Twitter.com/CelebrateGreece https://www.YouTube/CelebrateGreece

The late comedian Robin Williams visits the Elgin (Parthenon) Marbles at the British Museum in London. In behind-the-scenes footage he entertains the crew as only he could. Enjoy Director Shawn Levy's commentary along with Actor Owen Wilson's on working with the academy-awarding winning actor and comedian in his last live action movie, Night at the Museum (3), Secret of the Tomb. The crown jewels of the museum, the Parthenon Marbles were removed from the Parthenon in 1804 by Lord Elgin and brought to England. At that time Greece was under Ottoman Turkish rule. However, the marbles, which constitute the sculptures surrounding and adorning the frieze, metopes and pediments of the Parthenon atop the acropolis in Athens, Greece are attributed to the greatest Greek sculpture Phidias. 2000 years later Michelangelo would comment on the talents of Greek sculptors, "They knew more than nature." Ever since Greece gained independence beginning in 1825, the marbles have been a bone of contention between Britain and Greece, who wishes the repatriation of the marbles back to Athens to be placed in the new Acropolis Museum. @Celebrategreece

For Sophie’s wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends—practical and no-nonsense Rosie (Julie Walters) and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya (Christine Baranski) —from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own. On a quest to findthe identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna’s past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloomand old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities. Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA’s songs from“Dancing Queen” and “S.O.S.” to “Money, Money, Money” and “Take a Chance on Me,” Mamma Mia! is a celebration of mothers and daughters,old friends and new family found.     * Genre:Drama     * Director:Phyllida Lloyd     * Cast:Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard, Julie Walters Filming Locations Wedding and Church: The wedding takes place in a tiny church built on a steep rock formation overlooking the Aegean Sea. Before Donna climbs up to the chapel, she pours her heart out to Sam, singing "The Winner Takes It All."

Fathers Meet: Sophie's prospective fathers meet for the first time when Sam (Pierce Brosnan) and Harry (Colin Firth) miss the last ferry to Kalokairi and Bill (Stellan Skarsgård) offers to take them on his boat. The scene was filmed on Skiathos, an island in the Aegean Sea about 85 miles north of Athens. Fathers Retreat: When the men learn that Sophie's mother, Donna (Meryl Streep), doesn't want them at her daughter's wedding, they make a hasty retreat back to the mainland on Bill's boat. Determined to stop them, Sophie swims out to her could-be dads, and the group sings a playful rendition of "Our Last Summer." A peninsula off Glysteri beach, on the island of Skopelos, served as the scene's backdrop. "Mamma Mia - The Movie" is a registered trademark of Universal.  Imagery Courtesy of Universal Studios.

Cynthia Daddona auditioned to be a roving goddess correspondent for the "Tonight Show" during the Athens Olympics. After having a nice conversation with Jay at one of his California public appearances, Cynthia personally handed this tape (yes, tape!) to Jay who graciously accepted it. When a follow-up was done to see if an American-Italian-Greek Goddess could be an Olympic, Tonight Show correspondent in Greece it was discovered that the "Tonight Show" is not on the air during the Olympics! Oh, well. It was fun making this video in Santorini and at the Acropolis. Watch how Cynthia, a seasoned on-camera personality, interviews tourists, including some who don't speak English, and even interviews a horse that answers her question! Enjoy. FYI, Cynthia was also a page at NBC for the Tonight Shows starring Johnny Carson in the late 1980's.

Cynthia Daddona talks with LINCOLN's Daniel Day-Lewis ("Lincoln"), Sally Field ("Mary Todd-Lincoln") and then CEO of FOX Filmed Entertainment Jim Gianopulos at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in Santa Barbara, California. The event was to award Daniel Day-Lewis the "Montecito Award" at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Walking the red carpet were Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, Jim Gianopulos, Michael Mann, Steven Spielberg and many others. The movie "Lincoln" showcases Daniel Day-Lewis at his best portraying the 16th President of the United States while Sally Field plays his complicated wife. An atmospheric achievement by Steven Spielberg, director of blockbuster movie franchises (Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park and Back to the Future), the viewer is immersed in Civil War era Washington, DC and the Lincoln White House. Day-Lewis seems to incarnate Abraham Lincoln and you feel you are actually watching President Lincoln. We spoke to him about his preparation for such a movie and if he felt this could be a watershed movie for educating new generations of Americans about one of the most beloved Presidents.

A modern day treasure hunt for a mystical relic that turns into a love story for all time.

Will Eric toss away a lifetime of work and the hope of fulfilling his fathers deepest wish for the love of a vivacious and independent woman? It will take all her passion and all his courage to find out where the real treasure is buried. See all our celebrity interviews at: https://www.CelebrateGreece.com/celebrity-interviews
