ancient civilisations and empires in history

let's list 'em.
off the top of my head, there's ancient greece (philosophy! sculpture! tragedy!), rome (gladiators), the byzantine empire/constantinople (mosaics, awesome architecture), ancient india (uh.. elephants?), ancient egypt (pyramids and papyrus!) .. ancient china (vases, funny hats and robes), feudal japan (ninjas)

am I missing any? add please.

we grasp it. i am the descendent of some of the worst people ever. english, german, irish, spanish. my ancestors kicked your ancesters ass. what a lot of us get mad about is that we are still paying for what they did today, which we ourselves had nothing to do with. rich ass native americans is a prime example. come on, you, your dad, your grandad, and your great grandad never witnessed us take over the US, let it go. Latin America has done it nicely, they dont call themselves native american, they call themselves american. its about time we did too instead of this retarded PC bullshit.
