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.

The difference is they organised what meager resources they had and made the most of it instead of sucking on each other's anuses ad until their cousins who left africa nad evolved higher intelligent came back with aid packets or took them over the atlantic to slave the plantations.
