Hello class! Today we are going to revise the contents, the most important contents,

2
00:00:07,089 --> 00:00:14,449
about ancient history. As you know, ancient history started with the invention of writing

3
00:00:14,449 --> 00:00:24,690
in the year 3000 BC and ended up with the fall of the Roman Empire around 476 after that.

4
00:00:24,690 --> 00:00:32,969
Many civilizations came to establish in the Iberian Peninsula, first the Iberians, then Celts,

5
00:00:32,969 --> 00:00:41,729
Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, and Romans. The first ones were the Iberian Celts arrived

6
00:00:41,729 --> 00:00:48,750
and occupied the northwestern part of the Iberian Peninsula. Meanwhile, the Iberians occupied the

7
00:00:48,750 --> 00:00:56,189
south east part of the Iberian Peninsula. Iberians lived in tribes and they were

8
00:00:56,189 --> 00:01:03,390
a chief. They were excellent farmers and they used the money for trading. They loved to live

9
00:01:03,390 --> 00:01:13,209
at the top of the mountains in rectangular houses and they had their own writing system. Celts

10
00:01:13,849 --> 00:01:19,689
also lived in tribes but they used no money for trading. They were excellent warriors and they

11
00:01:19,689 --> 00:01:23,569
They built secular houses and living forts to protect them.

12
00:01:23,569 --> 00:01:31,890
They built big sculptures like the Toros de Guisando to protect their animals, they thought.

13
00:01:31,890 --> 00:01:34,629
And the Phoenicians established different colonies.

14
00:01:34,629 --> 00:01:39,609
They came from North Asia and established different colonies in the Bavarian peninsula

15
00:01:39,609 --> 00:01:42,590
like Malaga, Gadir and Saxe.

16
00:01:42,590 --> 00:01:45,549
Today Malaga, Alminekar and Cadiz.

17
00:01:45,549 --> 00:01:47,450
And they invented the first alphabet.

18
00:01:47,450 --> 00:01:56,450
After them, the Carthaginians established also two big colonies in the Iberian Peninsula that were Carthago Nova and Ebussus.

19
00:01:56,450 --> 00:02:02,450
They were excellent warriors and they fought against the Romans in the Punic Wars.

20
00:02:02,450 --> 00:02:14,960
Greeks invented different things. They came from Greece and they believed in many gods like Zeus, Ares, Artemis.

21
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:21,919
They created politics and democracy and of course the Olympic Games. Romans took

22
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:29,240
200 years to conquer the Iberian Peninsula. They introduced Latin which was

23
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,639
the beginning and the source of many languages in Europe like Spanish.

24
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:41,080
They built big buildings as amphitheatres and temples. This big

25
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:48,699
exchange of cultures was very rich for the Iberian Peninsula and there were many important

26
00:02:48,699 --> 00:02:54,080
facts as the invention of money, democracy and the first alphabet.
