LO 1 European Barbarians

The Ancient Greeks first civilations were basically a little changed replication of their eastern neighbors at the time. They were going through the same struggles as their neighbors from the seas and oceans and then finally after a few ways it became "classical" Greek in about 800 B.C. The Greek's cities were the first to start citizens of the civilization to have a say in political matters and run it effectively. The city states also had a trading system with in each other in the Greek empire. The Persain Empire started spreading from Sumerian and Egyptian homelands across southwestern Asia and Africa. During this time there was many people spread across the area to create ceremonial monuments. Megatlithic are ceremonial monements consisting of circles and rows of huge upright boulders, as well as massive earthen tombs and fortifications. The world was spreading out all over Europe and also moving out towards India ect. The world was becoming a lot richer and expanding its borders into a great wealth stage for many civilizations. There came the Greek civilization from all this moving around and from this came the new Greek art forms, way of life and also this shaped the way for Western Civilization as we know it today. One of the most impressive European monuments that had been created was the Stonehenge huge open air monument built by the rich farming and trading people in England. This was rebuilt many, many different times, but its final form was built in 2000 B.C. The Indo Eurpoean people started moving into the area, these people came from the Indian area and adopted into the European area, hence the name "Indo Eurpoean." These people brought their own Indo European languages, but they were ancestors of the Greek and Latin languages. Some of these people were warriors, but most were farmers. These tribal groups fought each other for many things and farming and land. Europe became a country inhabited by Indo European tribes who were skilled in metal working, farming, and trade.  Europe had many towns and such individually, but yet to have any major cities in the continent.
