Meet the life and history of the ancient Greeks!\n\nFrom the Four Great Ancient Civilizations to the important events and figures of world history found in textbooks, learn through adventure with Iseum's new educational comic series, Treasure Hunt in World History!\n\nThe main character of Treasure Hunt in World History is Bongpal, the lovable villain from the Treasure Hunt series. But this isn't the artifact agent Bongpal who used to torment Pang-i and Tori — instead, he's an eleven-year-old boy named Paris, who has extensive knowledge of history. Treasure Hunt in World History borrows the movie prequel format of tracing back a character's past, using young Bongpal as the protagonist to help readers learn the key events of world history.\n\nThis time, Bongpal's adventure takes him to ancient Greece. Bordering the Mediterranean Sea, Greece has a warm climate with many sunny days, making it pleasant to live in, and its relatively fertile soil provides abundant natural resources like olives and grapes. Additionally, since its sea routes were not treacherous, maritime trade developed early on, bringing economic prosperity. Thus, from around the 8th century BC, Greek civilization — the cradle of European culture — was born at the center of the Mediterranean.\n\nDiscover the brilliant cultural heritage of ancient Greece, including the magnificent temples like the Parthenon, the fascinating Greek mythology, the Olympia Games (the origin of the Olympics), and Athenian democracy, which set an example for modern democracy!\n\nGreek civilization laid the foundation for Western civilization! Trace the flow of world history through the history of Greece!\n\nBefore the 'Greek civilization' we commonly know from the 8th century BC began, ancient Bronze Age civilizations had long existed in the Mediterranean region. The Cretan and Mycenaean civilizations, which flourished in succession from around 2000 BC, were known only through myth for a long time until their existence was proven in the late 19th century with the excavation of the ruins of Troy and the Palace of Knossos on Crete. Around 1400 BC, the Bronze Age civilization came to an end for various unknown reasons, but the architecture, technology, art, and culture achieved by these civilizations became the foundation of the brilliant Greek civilization.\n\nAfter the fall of the Cretan and Mycenaean civilizations, Greek history entered a 450-year Dark Age. However, from around the 8th century BC, the use of iron farming tools increased food production and population, and culture flourished once again. The ancient Greek culture we generally discuss today essentially began from this period.\n\nWith its many mountainous regions and complex coastlines making it difficult to form a single unified nation, the Greeks established small city-states throughout the mainland and across the Mediterranean. These city-states, which arose throughout Greece from around the 8th century BC, are called poleis. Each polis developed while competing with different political, economic, and social systems, sometimes forming alliances with one another. During this period, Greece flourished with a culture so brilliant it is called the Golden Age. Magnificent structures such as the Parthenon were built, and many literary works based on mythology and outstanding sculptures were created. Additionally, philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle developed philosophy by contemplating the nature of the world and humanity. Furthermore, democratic politics — in which all citizens participated in discussing important national matters together — was implemented for the first time, and the Olympia Games, the origin of the Olympics, began as well.\n\nAll of this brilliant cultural heritage was later passed down to Rome, becoming the root of Western civilization and continuing to have a great influence to this day.\n\nGreek civilization — the beginning of Western civilization and the key to understanding Western culture! Follow the trail of ancient Greek history and join this thrilling adventure of knowledge!\n\n▣ Preview\n\nWhile gazing at the blue Aegean Sea and happily planning to leisurely tour Greek historical sites, Bongpal once again runs into the incompetent archaeologist Bishma.
