- 00:45
were in high demand in Greece, those items were mostly imported due to low [man smiles sitting behind a stack of towels and a plate of dye]
- 00:50
supply of materials and manufacturing capabilities. imported but not

came to raising food such as wheat and cattle demand also outstripped supply.
- 01:05
wheat doesn't grow well in Greece's climate and rocky soil and there isn't a

containers known as amphora have been discovered with some of the olive oil
- 01:55
and wine still in them proving they were being exported to other countries. also
- 02:00
many shipwrecks from neighboring countries have been discovered with
- 02:03
empty amphora indicating they were heading back to Greece.
