The project "Earth seen from heaven" by photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand was a huge public success. It revealed the Earth's colors and symmetry from an aerial perspective in unprecedented detail. The book containing photos from the project, titled "The Earth seen from the sky", has sold over 3 million copies in 24 countries and is one of the best-selling photo books worldwide. The document then provides a selection of some of the best aerial photographs from locations around the world.
The document describes the rise and fall of ancient Greek civilization from 2800-300 BC. It began with the Minoan and Mycenaean cultures based around important cities like Athens, Thebes, and Mycenae. The Mycenaean civilization reached its peak around 1600-1100 BC but then declined. From 1100-800 BC Greece entered a dark age until the rise of the ancient Greek civilization from 800 BC onward. This era saw important developments like the Parthenon, worship of Athena, the Oracle of Delphi, the Theatre of Epidaurus with its acoustics, and the Temple of Artemis.
