In fact thousands of ancient Egyptians are working on building the first pyramid . The world is really completely different than the one we ’ re living in today . However , if it wasn ’ t for those ancient civilizations that survived the outrageous conditions of the old ages , we wouldn ’ t have become how we are today .

Ancient Greece is the most significant spark that caused the rest of the Western world ’ s development . The very first Greek civilization advanced approximately 4000 years ago , between 750 BC and 146 BC . If you are wondering where the alphabets you learned at school came from , the Greeks were the ones who developed them . The Greeks were , also , the first to arrange the Olympic Games festivities in 776 BC , in the Greek city of Olympia . Ancient Greece is also widely known for their various gods and goddesses . They almost worshipped a distinct God for every occasion , based on their Ancient Greek religion and myths . These Gods have inspired many stories and even movies nowadays . mojotravel . wordpress . com
