 GREECE

Greece is a country in southeastern Europe

with thousands of islands throughout the
Aegean and Ionian seas. Influential in
ancient times, it's often called the cradle of
Western civilization. Athens, its capital,
retains landmarks including the 5th-century
B.C. Acropolis citadel with the Parthenon
temple. Greece is also known for its beaches,

 HISTORY

Greece is home to the first advanced civilizations in Europe and is considered the
birthplace of Western civilisation,[b][28][29][30][31] beginning with the Cycladic civilization on
the islands of the Aegean Sea at around 3200 BC,[32] the Minoan civilization in Crete
(2700–1500 BC),[31][33] and then the Mycenaean civilization on the mainland (1600–1100
BC).[33] These civilizations possessed writing, the Minoans writing in an undeciphered
script known as Linear A, and the Mycenaeans in Linear B, an early form of Greek. The
Mycenaeans gradually absorbed the Minoans, but collapsed violently around 1200 BC,
during a time of regional upheaval known as the Bronze Age collapse.[34] This ushered in a
period known as the Greek Dark Ages, from which written records are absent. Though the
unearthed Linear B texts are too fragmentary for the reconstruction of the political
landscape and can't support the existence of a larger state, contemporary Hittite and
Egyptian records suggest the presence of a single state under a "Great King" based in
mainland Greece
ATHENS
Athens is the capital of Greece. It was also at the heart of Ancient Greece, a
powerful civilization and empire. The city is still dominated by 5th-century
BC landmarks, including the Acropolis, a hilltop citadel topped with ancient
buildings like the colonnaded Parthenon temple. The Acropolis Museum,
along with the National Archaeological Museum, preserves sculptures,
vases, jewelry and more from Ancient Greece.
In classical literature, the city was sometimes referred to as the
City of the Violet Crown, first documented in Pindar's ἰοστέφανοι Ἀθᾶναι
(iostéphanoi Athânai), or as τοὸ κλεινοὸν ἄστυ (tò kleinòn ásty, "the glorious
city"). In medieval texts, variant names include Setines, Satine, and
Astines, all derivations involving false splitting of prepositional phrases.[27]
Today the caption η πρωτεύουσα (ī protévousa), "the capital", has become
somewhat common. ADD A FOOTER 15

TEMPLE OF OLYMPIAN ZEUS

The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Olympieion or Columns

of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple at the center of the
Greek capital Athens. It was dedicated to "Olympian" Zeus, a name
originating from his position as head of the Olympian gods
The work was abandoned when the tyranny was overthrown and Hippias was
expelled in 510 BC. Only the platform and some elements of the columns had
been completed by that point, and the temple remained in that state for 336
years. The temple was left unfinished during the years of
Athenian democracy, apparently, because the Greeks thought it was hubris to
build on such a scale ADD A FOOTER 16
OLD ACROPOLIS MUSEUM
The Old Acropolis Museum (Greek: (Παλαιό)
Μουσείο Ακρόπολης (Palaio) Mouseio Akropolis)
was an archaeological museum located in Athens
, Greece on the archeological site of Acropolis. It
is built in a niche at the eastern edge of the rock
and most of it lies beneath the level of the
hilltop, making it largely invisible. It was
considered one of the major archaeological
museums in Athens. Due to its limited size, the
Greek government decided in the late 1980s to
build a new museum. The
New Acropolis Museum is now built at the foot of
the Acropolis. In June 2007 the old museum
closed its doors so that its antiquities could be
moved to their new home, which opened on 20

CORFU

48.379 km²[3] and a population of 4,068 (2011 census) and is located on the west
coast of Corfu just south of Angelokastro. The seat of the formerly independent

 THE HANGING CHURCH
The Hanging Church is named for its location above a gatehouse of
Babylon Fortress, the Roman fortress in Coptic Cairo (Old Cairo); its nave
is suspended over a passage. The church is approached by twenty-nine
steps; early travelers to Cairo dubbed it "the Staircase Church".[1] The land
surface has risen by some six metres since the Roman period[why?] so the
Roman tower is mostly buried below ground, reducing the visual impact
of the church's elevated position. The entrance from the street is through
iron gates under a pointed stone arch. The nineteenth-century facade with
twin bell towers is then seen beyond a narrow courtyard decorated with
modern art biblical designs. Up the steps and through the entrance is a
further small courtyard leading to the eleventh-century outer porch.

of the Valley of the Kings and the
Valley of the Queens are on the river’s
west bank ADD A FOOTER 25
 VALUE OF KING
The number of tourists in Egypt stood at 0.1 million in 1951. Tourism became an
important sector of the economy from 1975 onwards, as Egypt eased visa restrictions
for almost all European and North American countries and established embassies in
new countries like Austria, Netherlands, Denmark and Finland. In 1976, tourism was
a focal point of the Five Year Plan of the Government, where 12% of the budget was
allocated to upgrading state-owned hotels, establishing a loan fund for private
hotels, and upgrading infrastructure (including road, rail, and air connectivity) for
major tourist centers along the coastal areas. In 1979, tourism experts and advisors
were brought in from Turkey and several new colleges were established with Turkish
help between 1979 and 1981, to teach diploma courses in hospitality and tourism
management. The tourist inflow increased to 1.8 million in 1981 and then to 5.5
million in 2000. Tourism reached a pinnacle in 2010 by reaching 14.7 million visitors.
[2][4]
Revenues from tourism also reached a high point at $12.5 billion in 2010. [2] Since
then the number of tourists has significantly declined (down to 9.5 million in 2013)
and revenue down to $5.9 billion due to security threats and civil unres

mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings near
Luxor, in Egypt. Construction at the complex began during the reign
of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom and continued into the
Ptolemaic period, although most of the extant buildings date from the
New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-
isut ("The Most Selected of Places") and the main place of worship of
the eighteenth dynasty Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head. It
is part of the monumental city of Thebes. The Karnak complex gives its
name to the nearby, and partly surrounded, modern village of El-
