Athens History - Background and Details of a Classical Civilization

Kelly Mass

Beschreibung

For over 5,000 years, Athens has held its name as one of the world's oldest cities. Situated in southern Europe, it ascended to prominence as the capital of Ancient Greece in the first millennium BC, laying the cultural foundations for Western civilization during the remarkable achievements of the 5th century BC.

While experiencing a decline in the early Middle Ages, Athens found rejuvenation under the later Byzantine Empire, thriving notably during the Crusades (12th and 13th centuries) due to flourishing Italian trade. After enduring a significant downturn under Ottoman rule, Athens emerged anew in the nineteenth century as the capital of an independent and self-governing Greek state.

The city's name, associated with the goddess Athena, has roots in an earlier Pre-Greek language.

I hope that it will interest those who are concerned about their safety.  
There has always been an unacceptable amount of burglary. It is such a harrowing experience to be burgled. People are forced to accept that they are not safe even in their own homes. 
In the days of larger families, it was not easy for the burglar. There was always someone at home, and usually several people. Burglars would be detected and easily overpowered. Nowadays, on the other hand, many people live alone, and many of those are elderly baby-boomers. 
It can induce a permanent state of worry and anxiety. 
One way around this, is to implement a home security system. They are actually quiet affordable now too. A decent home security system, coupled with friendly neighbours, is an affordable solution.

SPICE GIRLS
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
The Spice Girls are a British girl group formed in 1994, consisting of Mel B, Melanie C, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, and Victoria Beckham. They were formed to compete with popular boy bands. With their "girl power" mantra, they redefined the girl-group concept by targeting a young female fan base. Their debut single "Wannabe" topped the charts in 37 countries. The album Spice (1996) sold over 23 million copies worldwide. The group's success was compared to Beatlemania, with the press calling it "Spicemania". The group was known for their dance-pop music, female empowerment themes, and individual nicknames.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
The Spice Girls were formed in 1994 after Heart Management held auditions to create a girl group to compete with popular British boy bands. The group was originally envisioned to comprise "five strikingly different girls" who would each appeal to a different audience.
The group initially practiced songs written by Bob Herbert's associates, but these songs were never used by the Spice Girls because they were aimed at a very young audience. The group felt insecure without an official contract, which led them to seek a showcase performance that resulted in a major label deal.
The Spice Girls, frustrated with their management, allegedly stole the master recordings of their music from Heart Management before leaving. They then tracked down a songwriter from the showcase and began recording demos for their debut album.
