| 0:30.1 | On a steep, stony hill in Greece, they're lived in early times, a few people who'd not |
| 0:49.0 | yet learn to build houses. They made their homes in little caves, which they dug in the |
| 0:57.5 | earth or hollowed out among the rocks. They lit fires in the caves for warmth, and their |
