It began in the Fertile Crescent where farming first officially began to start occurring and diffusing across the Middle East. Both cities and civilizations grew out of the innovations and new technologies created in this time period as job specialization began to occur as well.

    Ancient Greece
    "The term Ancient, or Archaic, Greece refers to the time three centuries before the classical age, between 800 B.C. and 500 B.C.—a relatively sophisticated period in world history. Archaic Greece saw advances in art, poetry and technology, but most of all it was the age in which the polis, or city-state, was invented. The polis became the defining feature of Greek political life for hundreds of years."
