The New York Times, in an article about Greece, wrote. For thousands of years, the ancient civilizations of the Persians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians, and generally all the Eastern peoples, saw humans as unworthy beings, capable only of worshiping and crawling at the feet of gods, priests, and kings. The Greeks stood them up, taught them to be proud, encouraged their curiosity, both for themselves and for the world around them. The Greeks trusted in the perfection of beauty and created the Parthenon, the Greek statues, the Tragedy of Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles, the poetry of Hesiod, Homer, and even the painted everyday household vessels. They gave us Language, Laws, Logic, Philosophy, Democracy, the standards of Truth, Beauty, and the sense of Human Dignity.
The greatest poet and philosopher of the East, Ibn Khaldoun, wrote in 1400 AD, "there is no Philosophy, Sciences, Mathematics of the Eastern peoples, everything belongs to the Greeks," and the greatest poet of the West, namely the Roman Cicero, wrote in 100 BC, "totum Grecorum est" = everything belongs to the Greeks. Thus, in the "work at hand," these cultural creations are briefly described, although they could be written in dozens of volumes, with countless evidence from the sources of Greek Literature and the Archive of the Earth, the cultural creations that our ancestors left us as a legacy and generally the Greek Civilization and its History. That is, what the Greeks ignore about their wise ancestors, so as not to accept the distortion of History and the historical lies of Phoenicianism, Indo-Europeanism, Pan-Slavism, as well as the lies of all the neighbors, because if we do not learn who we are, we will be overwhelmed.
