The Greek Economy

Like many other civilizations, the ancient Greek economy was based on agriculture. Grapes, cereals and olives were the main crops. In addition, they domesticated animals like sheep and goats. Husbandry was not successful developed due to the bad soil. Bee were kept to produce honey, which was the primary source for sugar. Mining was significant since they had developed metal. Silver was abundant. Bronze and iron weapons were used commonly. Many Greeks were sailors around the Mediterranean sea. Some of them were traders. Some of them were fishermen who sold fish in markets. Some of them were mercenaries who fought for other nations for money. Coins were used in ancient Greece in several ways. They were used as a way to exchange objects. They were a source of revenue. I think the economy of ancient Greece is similar to our modern economy, just not as complicated.

Baraka

I believe that the film "Baraka" is about our environment. At first, the film presents beautiful and magnificent scenes of mountains and glaciers. However, the film goes into various human cultures. For instance, the scene where a African Indigenous group were dancing around was fascinating. This relates to the topic we discussed before: the disappearing Indegenous cultures. Monkeys swimming in hot springs also amazed me. I didn't know monkeys like hot springs. The different aspects of our world are beautifully presented in the film. To me, this movie is absolutely environmental. It's telling me that we should stop destroying. Our world is unique. There will never be a second one. I am grateful that I live on this lovely planet.
