Hey guys, this is Abel from Alboos Brainy World and Dhruv from DJzRandomTV!
Welcome to Greece Mania! Today, we will be talking about Greece, its fact and some geology too.
So it's really a fun stuff, so enjoy the video and let's go straight into it.
You know how facts are important right so, let's start with them.
Number one, it's believed that Greece was formed 4000 years ago, by the people of Crete, an island in Greece
The Greeks  did not eat beans because they thought beans contained  the souls of the dead.
Number three Greeks had many stories to help them understand how the world came to be and how and why were they there
Many a monster and gods were featured in the story. You know like Zeus, the Minotaur, Poseidon
you know all your normal monsters you learned in Percy Jackson.
Now Greek wrestling was fought naked and there were hardly any rules.
Number five many of you know that Greek city-states were usually at war but the Olympics  created hold peace between the city-states.
So what is a colony? So, a colony is a place in a foreign country
which a group of people go in settle and make
houses and build stuff and they do businesses like trade exports and a lot of things
So my question to you guys is why did Greece make a colony?
So Greece's is geography very mountainous
So they can really growing certain crops so the crops they grow
or grew was like olives and grape wines and
So imagine if you can only have these two things and survive you can so you need more resources so the Greece
people
Decided to think outside the box and go outside to other countries and start taking people's land like take over the land
farm there, export it to Greece so
if you do that you have more chances of like getting resources and
Survival so that's why Greece made a colony
And don't forget when
They make colonies they also spread their culture - that's cultural diffusion. See ya
Now people as you can see this is one map of Greece. These yellow spot you see all around the map
are actually Greek colonies
these colonies
were made to import goods from the mainland Greece.
So
advantages of living in ancient Greece. So temperature plays a high roll in
advantages because it's not like you don't want to live in a very cool place or a very hot place
So it's a moderate climate not too cold not too hot. Greece is actually one of the least polluted regions in the world. So want fresh air
let's
go
So value for money, so in USA and a Greece
Huge role and money because like compared to like some regions are very poor
rich so the Greece's things are big high quality
But cheaper so if you guys want to buy something that's expensive go there
So, Greece actually has amazing places. You know it has architecture you know temples, palaces
great statues of
you know gods and of course, it has restaurants, yummy food!
So these are the things we put in for the advantages of Greece
Disadvantages is about living in Greece, so
Greece was actually very isolated from other countries as well as within itself.
So what I actually mean to say here is that, city-states like Athens and Sparta were very isolated from each other because of
You know
Huge mountain ranges that separated them
so lack of water or rivers,
made it hard for transportation because the only thing like
Transportation for Greece is only water because the land is covered with
mountains, and water is the only need transportation because the mountains are very hard
So that's why that's one of the disadvantages
we include in this video guys
So
Greece was under single government, so it actually made it a lot more difficult to unite
Greece's city-states, and you know live in peace and harmony and become one.
So farmlands, so because of these mountains you can't do any farming
because you need flat land to grow most of the crops to only crops they did was
olives, grape wines they also did pottery so I mean so that's those are the disadvantages
of
living in ancient Greece!
