Features: The Mediterranean has an extremely profound cultural layer, which is composed of ancient Eastern culture, Greek and Roman culture, Islamic culture, and modern culture. From 3600 BC to 4th century BC, Eastern culture was dominant. After the Persian Wars, Greek and Roman culture became the main theme. Starting from the 7th century, Islamic culture flourished. Since the "Renaissance," the Mediterranean first entered the mainstream of modern culture.
