History of Spain | 西班牙的歷史

The culture of Spain is based on a variety of historical influences, mainly based on pre-Roman Celtic and Iberian culture. The Ancient Romans left a lifelong heritage in the Spanish culture because Rome created Hispania as a political, legal and administrative unit. Modern humans first arrived in the Iberian Peninsula around 35,000 years ago. In the early modern period, Spain became the world’s 1^st global empire and the most powerful country in the world, making Spanish the world’s 2^nd-most spoken native language. Spain hosts the world’s third-largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Before the Roman Empire, Spain used to be separated into three territories. The three different territories: the Celts (north of Spain), the Iberians (center east), and the Tartessos (South). The Celts were notorious for fishing and farming as a means for living. Even today we can see their influence as the north of Spain is well-known for their “Mariscos” (seafood). The Iberians were mostly hunters and cattle keepers. The center of Spain is still considered to have a great quality of meat. The Tartessos were goldsmiths and did a lot of trading with Africa and Greece.

西班牙的文化基於各種歷史影響，主要基於前羅馬凱爾特人和伊比利亞文化。古羅馬人在西班牙文化中留下了終身遺產，因為羅馬創造了Hispania作為政治，法律和行政單位。現代人類大約在35000年前首次抵達伊比利亞半島。在現代早期，西班牙成為世界上第一個全球帝國，也是世界上最強大的國家，使西班牙成為世界上第二大的口語母語。西班牙擁有世界第三大聯合國教科文組織世界遺產。

在羅馬帝國之前，西班牙曾經分為三個地區。三個不同的地區：凱爾特人（西班牙北部），伊比利亞人（中部東部）和塔特索斯（南部）。凱爾特人以捕魚和農業作為生活手段而臭名昭著。即使在今天，我們也可以看到他們的影響，因為西班牙北部以其“Mariscos”（海鮮）而聞名。伊比利亞人大多是獵人和養牛人。西班牙的中心仍然被認為有很好的肉質。 Tartessos是金匠，並與非洲和希臘進行了大量交易。
