1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:07,919
good morning boys and girls how are you today i'm fine and happy to be here with you

2
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:16,600
in a new social science class so let's going to start with the class let's going to

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:28,199
review a little bit as you remember we have five four periods in history so pre pre-history that

4
00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:38,240
you have learned with noemi the other day and today we are going to focus on ancient history

5
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:46,719
okay the second one as you can see here in the timeline is the green one okay here this one

6
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:57,659
so we are going to talk about ancient history okay okay so in ancient history ancient history

7
00:00:57,659 --> 00:01:07,099
started when people invented the writing so as you remember in the other class we said that the

8
00:01:07,099 --> 00:01:19,280
prehistory ends or ended when people invented writing so if prehistory ended when people

9
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:28,640
invented writing, Asian history started when people invented writing, okay? So you need to

10
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:39,799
remember that the invention of writing marks the end of prehistory and the beginning of Asian

11
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:49,579
history okay in asian history the first civilizations appeared what's the meaning of that

12
00:01:49,579 --> 00:01:59,719
so the first group of people in in a very organized way with cities well something similar

13
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:09,099
but you can imagine with cities with a real real organization appear we are going to study two of

14
00:02:09,099 --> 00:02:16,439
them okay we are going to talk about the greeks and the romans okay let's going to start with the

15
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:28,710
greeks so the greeks invented the democracy what is that the democracy means government by the

16
00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:40,009
people okay nowadays we have also a democracy in spain so imagine it's a really old term

17
00:02:40,009 --> 00:02:45,169
And thanks to the Greeks, we have now the democracy.

18
00:02:46,830 --> 00:02:49,650
More things you have to know about Greeks.

19
00:02:50,030 --> 00:02:54,610
So Greeks made beautiful buildings and sculptures.

20
00:02:55,330 --> 00:02:58,090
As you can see here in the pictures.

21
00:03:00,550 --> 00:03:02,169
Really, really important.

22
00:03:02,770 --> 00:03:09,150
If you like sports, you need to know that Greeks invented the Olympic Games.

23
00:03:09,150 --> 00:03:25,219
also they invented coins they wrote books about many things so they they studied a lot of things

24
00:03:25,219 --> 00:03:32,780
but for example one of the most important ones was science so they wrote a lot of books and

25
00:03:32,780 --> 00:03:44,219
documents about science related with the coins they they bought and sold objects so these the

26
00:03:44,219 --> 00:03:58,710
the the action of buying and selling objects is they call trade okay and they believed in many

27
00:03:58,710 --> 00:04:08,349
gods as you can see here they don't they didn't have only one god they had um several ones so

28
00:04:08,349 --> 00:04:18,170
here we have almost 10 or 11 but they they had a lot of god they had a god for almost everything

29
00:04:18,170 --> 00:04:28,569
so imagine they have a god they had a god for the house they had a god for the sea

30
00:04:28,569 --> 00:04:42,410
they had a god for the family so they had a lot of gods and the greeks came to the iberian

31
00:04:42,410 --> 00:04:52,470
peninsula do you remember the iberian peninsula and they call it iberia okay so here is the

32
00:04:52,470 --> 00:05:00,790
Iberian Peninsula as you remember the Iberian Peninsula is Spain and Portugal together okay

33
00:05:00,790 --> 00:05:13,920
and they call it Iberia so let's going to talk about Romans Romans also came to the Iberian

34
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:26,220
Peninsula and they call it Hispania okay now it's similar to our name it is also important to know

35
00:05:26,220 --> 00:05:35,060
that romans conquered and established a big big big big empire so as you

36
00:05:35,060 --> 00:05:44,720
can you imagine whole europe so if you can see a picture of europe whole continent

37
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:56,000
were from the romans so they were in whole europe oh sorry so this means a big big empire okay

38
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:05,079
things you need to know about romans so romans built many roads and cities also

39
00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:16,319
roads are not exactly as we as our roads nowadays but it was very very important because

40
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:26,779
thanks to these roads you can move from one city to another one also roman invented a language

41
00:06:26,779 --> 00:06:36,939
called latin and this language was very important because um was the the language for

42
00:06:36,939 --> 00:06:48,519
for study for the knowledge for science and also spanish comes from latin this is a reason because

43
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:55,939
we have similar words, okay? Or words that are similar in spelling or in pronunciation.

44
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:03,860
English, not. As you can imagine, English is not a Latin language.

45
00:07:05,980 --> 00:07:12,779
Romans also trade objects. As I told you before when we were talking about Greeks,

46
00:07:12,779 --> 00:07:23,139
trade means buy and sell objects okay romans also build a lot of buildings and sculptures

47
00:07:23,139 --> 00:07:34,129
as you can see here in the picture because roman built buildings one of the most important building

48
00:07:34,129 --> 00:07:44,269
or constructions they they made were aqueducts because this building or this important

49
00:07:44,269 --> 00:07:59,399
building carry water to the cities finally romans also believed in many gods then the roman empire

50
00:07:59,399 --> 00:08:09,459
ended in 476 a.d and this is an important year or an important date that you should remember

51
00:08:09,459 --> 00:08:14,180
because it's the end of the Asian history.

52
00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:19,100
This is all for today, guys, boys, girls.

53
00:08:19,459 --> 00:08:27,399
And if you need more help or you have any questions, please, Noemi and I are here.

54
00:08:28,459 --> 00:08:35,980
And we are happy to know about you and to help you if you need anything.

55
00:08:36,340 --> 00:08:39,139
So see you in this class. Bye bye.

56
00:08:39,460 --> 00:08:39,519
Thank you.
