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.

I agree, it is easy for me being white, a man, and from an upper-middle class family. But there is still a dislike of white people from what we've done. There still is racism and discrimination, but many minorities assume it in white people too much. And as I said before, we are still paying Native Americans in the form of casinos, which I don't like. Affirmitive action, too, I feel is overcompensating. If I were black, a woman, or pretty much any race besides white, I could get into Berkeley. But being the ball of majority that I am, I pretty much have no chance.
