first of all do not pay attention to the fool above me. that men is retarded. Greece isn't the cradle of civilization. you may pass lots further lower back in time and nevertheless locate progressed societies with developed languages, sciences, technologies, and so on. E.g. West African societies, Egypt, the Indus civilization, historical Iraq, and so on. Greece may well be seen the cradle of western civilization, yet lots is interconnected - e.g. how the hell might Europe have come out of the "dark an prolonged time" if it wasn't for Islamic pupils that re-chanced on historical Greek works via Aristotle, Galen, blah blah As a wide-unfold notice: you will possibly desire to not ask questions that require erudite solutions in this internet site. there are in elementary terms a team of retarded a ss mofos around here. how approximately this: %. up a e book on historical civilizations via a respected pupil of historic past.

Athens, Greece was the birthplace of Western Democracy. During the 5th century B.C. all the nonslave men of Athens were part of a direct democracy and took part governing their city state. Greece was also the home to 3 great fathers of philosophy - Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. It was the birthplace of modern drama and western science and mathematics. All of this in a community of about 30,000 people.

The Greeks gave us many things: They invented theater and acting, democracy, military tactics, architecture, homosexuality (just kidding)
