Have you ever looked at a map and wondered who lived there long, long ago? Greece and Italy are countries by a big blue sea called the Mediterranean Sea. Long ago, the Ancient Greeks lived in Greece. The Ancient Romans lived in Italy.
Mia looks at a map with her dad. She points to Greece, then to Italy. Dad shows her the blue sea around both countries. That sea is the Mediterranean Sea.
When you look at a map, find the blue water first. Countries next to blue water often sit by a sea. Greece and Italy both sit right by the Mediterranean Sea.
Greece and Italy sit by the Mediterranean Sea, home to Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, long after Egypt and long before today.
