Ancient Europe was a mosaic of cultures and peoples that developed across the continent long before the medieval era. From the early Neolithic farmers and megalith builders to the Celts, Germans, Slavs, and Thracians, Europe was home to societies that thrived through farming, trade, and warfare. In the south, the Greeks laid the groundwork for philosophy, politics, and art, while the Romans built a vast empire that unified much of Europe under roads, law, and military might. To the north and east, tribal confederations clashed with Rome and preserved their own traditions, eventually becoming the foundations of later nations. In this episode, we trace the rise of Europe’s ancient civilizations, their battles, their achievements, and the lasting legacies they left on the continent’s history. #history #ancienthistory #historydocumentary #historyforsleep
