Greek civilization
The Greek civilization was one of the greatest of all time. Ancient Greece was not a united nation, but a collection of cities known as Poli. Polis is city in Greek and poli is its plural.
It started to flourish around 2,500 years ago. It was located in Greece and had it's capital in Athens, named after the Greek Goddess of wisdom Athena. The Greeks were the first ones to stablish rules and democracy.
Democracy consists of people choosing who they want to govern the country. Citizens are also able to say if they agree or not to certain rules stablished by the leaders.
The Greeks were the first ones to try to explain things, which they did not understand by using science.
