Greece: Engineering an Empire

Western Civilization has been influenced by many cultures, from Rome to America, but it was born in
Ancient Greece. Centuries before Julius Caesar conquered much of the known world, the Ancient Greeks
were laying a foundation that has supported nearly 3000 years of European history. Ancient Greece
brings to mind philosophers like Aristotle and Socrates, Olympian gods, the beginnings of democracy,
great conquering armies like those of Alexander the Great, and savage internecine battles, none more
famous than the duel to the death between Athens and Sparta.
Greece is a story about the human drive to explore, to wonder, to be curious. Their ruins now
communicate that drive. Over 1000 years, this strong and charismatic people strategically harnessed the
materials and people around them to create the most advanced technological feats the world had ever
seen.
From The Tunnel of Samos: a mile-long aqueduct dug through a large mountain of solid limestone, to
Agamemnon's Tomb, to The Parthenon, this episode will examine the architecture and infrastructure
engineered by the Greek Empire.
