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 trouble is the lies I believe in are backed up with fact and the truth has no facts to back it up.

I would have thought lies don't have proof to back them up and the truth has proof to back it up, but I'm white. I must be raist and thus not in a position to question a non-white on the subject of race.
