Mediterranean-scape!

Perhaps one of the most influential culture and civilization is the be Greek's. The Greeks had contributed to many ideas and things that had exist till now. Things like the amphitheatre, stadiums, academies, genus loci, the Olympic game, architectural style, philosophies, and even the idea of democracy are all part of the elements found in the current era. These architectural and engineering feats had also influenced designs in Classical Europe. Indeed the Greeks had given much to the world in almost every aspect of life. Through the conquest of Alexander the Great, the Greek culture was spread to other parts of the world like Egypt, the Middle East, and as far as parts of India. In mathematical achievements combining with engineering feat, the idea of "entasis" was born. It was also through various philosophical, scientific and literature thoughts that brought about much of what Greece was then. Greek mythologies also played a part through the construction of temples for different gods/goddesses. As different city-states had their own patron gods/goddess, the various city-states tried to suppress each other's in terms of the beauty of the temple buildings in addition to the other infrastructures. An example of such achievement was Athens. With the extensive effort in beautifying the city, it had indeed impressed the other city-states as well as in the modern day itself.

As in the case of the Roman Empire, most of the things are pretty much similar to the Ancient Greeks. However eventually the empire was overran by the various foreign tribes and thus losing parts of their culture influences..................

Erm...That's all for now.....

Carpe Diem!
