A Mediterranean Dance Medley! 🌊 22 COUNTRIES! (World Dance Series: Special) | Vasilis

What connects 3 continents, 22 countries and legendary empires? It’s the Mediterranean Sea 🌊. Said to be the center of the world, the Mediterranean Sea is part of the Atlantic Ocean. So many have passed and still are there; Greeks, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Jews, Hittites, Carthagians, Persians, Romans, Berbers, Goths, Franks, Arabs, Slavs, Seljuks, Spaniards, Ottomans and so on! The sea was an important route for merchants and travelers of ancient times, facilitating trade and cultural exchange between peoples of the region. The history of the Mediterranean region is crucial to understanding the origins and development of many modern societies. The Roman Empire (both Western and Eastern) maintained nautical hegemony over the sea for centuries. Enjoy this dance medley, following the coastline and meeting 22 cultures in just 20 minutes! :) 🌊🌊🌊 ◼️ Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel!
