 CULTURE

Egyptian civilization achieved great

development in science, art, religion and
commerce. It stood out for the majesty of its
monuments covered with hieroglyphics
carved on its walls (which are the main
sources of information for archaeologists).

The art and architecture of ancient Greece

had a great influence on Western art to the
present day, as it is part of their cultural
legacy.

The main contributions that the Roman

Empire left us were: architecture, sculpture,
technique, painting and contributions of
Rome to civilization....................................
Rome and the empire were filled with
circuses, theaters, amphitheaters, baths,
roads, forums, basilicas, arches, among
others.

Some of the exponents of Chinese culture

are its mythology, its philosophy, its music
and its art. China was the birthplace of two
important philosophical currents,
Confucianism and Taoism.
It was quite rich due to the many peoples
that inhabited the region. Most of their
culture descended from the Sumerians,
which included a polytheistic and
anthropomorphic religion. They believed in
many gods, which they used to represent as
phenomena of nature.
