| Summary |
Greece: Five hundred years before the birth of Christ, the small city-states of Greece began a period of cultural excellence, and none was more advanced than Athens.

While uniting a vast land the Chinese built the 2,600-mile Great Wall, invented paper, printing, the compass and the world's first system of justice. |
