The Greeks had an amazing cuture, thanks no doubt in no small part to the eleusinian mysteries.

The contribution made to civilisation including the West is vast.

Thanks for sharing mate, checking it out.

I've always marveled at the ancient Greeks, and what they were doing while my Anglo ancestors were throwing rocks at each other :lol:

This is a great read about one man accurately measuring the circumference of the earth more than 2,200 years ago. It's amazing

The ancient Greeks and Egyptians were also tossing rocks and spears at each other but a few of them were smarty pants who gave us our knowledge of Mathematics and astronomy.
Inc basic arithmetic, algebra, calculus, trigonometry, sine and cosine tables, geometry, algorithms, and just about everything else that we think we discovered.

This is an interesting read
