<u>Ancient Greece
</u>
1. The geography of Ancient Greece is mountainous. It is surrounded by the Mediterranean sea and is composed of more than 1400 islands.
2. The art of Ancient Greece has been one of the biggest influences in the history, specially in the areas of sculpture and architecture. Just two examples of this are the Acropolis in Athens and Mykonos as an attraction.
3. They use the Greek Alphabet which first appears in the archaeological record, during the 8th century BCE.
4. The Ancient Greek literature and comedy are just two of the most important and characteristic Greek culture. The earliest Greek literature was poetry and its main poet was Homer.
5. It was composed by hundreds of little independent states called <em>poleis</em>, politically many Greek city-states have been petty kingdoms, but by the Archaic period most had already become aristocratic oligarchies.
6. They wore simple garments made for function. A single piece could be used, with some little changes, to fit a particular fashion. Also, the summer was too hot and that kind of clothing seemed to be the best for it.
7. They invented the alarm clock and what we today know as Modern Philosophy.
