Well, Your best answer would be is Greece. Because, The Thermopylae is where the mountain pass was near of the sea in the northern Greece was in site of several battles. Good Luck!

the first forms of writing came from them in the form of pictographs around 3100 bc.

this forms a narrow, steep sided inlet (sometimes deeper than 1300 metres) connected to the sea. the terminal moraine pushed down the valley by the glacier is left underwater at the fjord’s entrance, causing the water at the neck of the fjord to be shallower than the main body of the fjord behind it.
