Ancient Greece (greece) is one of the main sources of Western civilization, which lasted for about 650 years (800 BC - 146 BC) and is the most important and direct source of Western civilization.

The recorded literature, technology, and art in the West all began in ancient Greece. Ancient Greece is not a concept of a country, but rather the designation of a region located in southeastern Europe, northeastern of the Mediterranean Sea, including the Greek peninsula, the archipelago and islands of the Aegean and Ionian Seas, the southwestern coast of Turkey, eastern Italy, and the eastern coast of Sicily.

In the century B.C., especially after the Greco-Persian Wars, economic life was highly prosperous, science and technology were highly developed, and a glorious Greek culture was produced, which had a profound impact on later generations. The ancient Greeks had deep attainments in philosophical thought, poetry, architecture, science, literature, drama, mythology, and many other aspects. After the fall of ancient Greece, this civilizational heritage was continued by the ancient Romans, thus becoming the spiritual source of the entire Western civilization.

In 2000 BC, the Aegean civilization originated in Crete, and later the center of civilization moved to the Greek peninsula, and the Mycenaean civilization appeared. The Cretan civilization and the Mycenaean civilization together are known as the Aegean civilization, which lasted for 800 years, and it was the beginning of the ancient Aegean civilization. Ancient Greece is close to the Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean Sea, and is the source of maritime civilization (Western civilization), so ancient Greek civilization is also called maritime civilization.

Ancient Greece was located in the eastern Mediterranean, and its geographical area was larger than that of the present-day Hellenic Republic, which roughly included the Greek peninsula, the Aegean islands, the Ionian Islands, and the western coastal zone of the peninsula of Asia Minor. The Aegean civilization is the earliest civilization in Greece, it is a collective name for the bronze civilization in the Aegean Sea and surrounding areas, and its centers are in Crete and Mycenae. Around 2000 BC, the first states appeared in Crete.

The Aegean region of Greece has had human activity for a long time. Early human skulls have been found in the Karsidis region of northern Greece, and some scholars believe that they belong to the Neanderthal type.
