In Chapter 3, it introduced empires and civilizations and also compared them to one another.
A section that caught my attention was The Greeks. This section shared how their civilization was. They described their civilization as distinctive. Their historical fame emerged around 750 B.C.E.and flourished about 400 years-- which was relatively a short period of time. Athens and Sparta, Plato and Aristotle, Zeus and Apollo all are known from this civilization and era. They called themselves Hellenes. During their time they were known to smelt metals such as silver, lead, copper, bronze and iron.
*A fun fact was that The Olympics originated from the Greeks and their time. They would have the event every 4 years.
Medieval history, facts and movies have always been so interesting to me. Their culture, the setting, their era, the clothing and costumes-- pretty much the royalty part of all of it. Sometimes I find myself wishing I had lived in those times (haha), but then knowing that it was not all very lavish during their life time brought me back to reality and not wishing that (hehe).
