March 3

Today we started our chapter on Ancient Greece.

The world's greatest civilizations are all located on rivers: (this helps with the farming, drinking,  cleaning, transportation, and food)
Mesopotamia - Tigris and Euphrates River
Egypt - The Nile River
India - Indus River
China - Huang He River

Capital: Athens

Location and Geography of Greece:
-  by the Mediterranean Sea (means Middle of the Earth)
-  between Italy and Turkey
- made up of more than 1400 islands
- topography: mountains that run from coast to coast
- faster to sail around the whole Island rather than walking across
- on the west side of Greece is the Adriatic Sea and on the east side Aegean Sea
- Crete is a major island off of the peninsula  of Greece

Greece is divided in city-states separated by the mountains
they only worshipped their city-state no ruler over all
