Megalithic: Denoting
prehistoric cultures characterized by the erection of megalithic monuments
Tribe: A social division in a traditional
society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic,
religious
Indo-European: Ancestors of Greeks and Latins
The Greeks were one of the earliest civilizations. The are
greatly known for their accomplishments, structures and life styles.
Greeks were one of the very first barbarians, soon they started to
migrate more towards the southeastern area of Europe. This was around the
time 2000 BC. The Greeks were wealthy, held a high status and were independent.
Most of the structures that they built, are still standing today (even
though they had gone through so much bad weather and others trying to
destroy/ruin them). These megalithic structures were starting to be
built around the year 3500 BC. The Greek's classic civilization emerged
close to the year 800 BC. When a solider died he would be laid next to
his wife and his items such as horse chariot and other items would be buried
with them. I think that's stupid to kill a horse for that reason though.
Smaller tribes started to answer to a larger city. From what the
Greeks accomplished, they helped shape the future and their ways gave
others a foundation also.
