ancient greece

The ancient greeks were the next era of people to usher in new communication methods, they took the original alphabet created from the ancient egyptians and changed it to letters this allowed people to read what it said also due to the language barrier (they wouldn't be able to translate it)  making the communication better and helped to further improve peoples reading and writing.

Greek animation came in the for of their plays and painted vases/ sculptures when they painted or carved some thing it always had a good story behind it.
 As you can see with this particular vase it depicts their different kinds of sports that were practiced during those days.  The Greeks form of animation was very clever indeed below is a plan view of a vase depicting the story of a man named Sisyphus if you spin  the vase around on the potters wheel you could see the story move like an early version of the flipbook.
