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.

Oh so they built wooden structures larger than 3 storey using wood and mud. Oh how absolutely marvellous.

"As for China, there were rumours of a great and WEALTHY civilization on the other side of the Indian ocean.  He never got there, but if he did, you'd have railways being built at the time of the Great Library."

This is abso-fucking lutely absurd. You are living in a twisted fucked up fantasy world. Alexander's army were worn out and tired, it would take years to tame and develop the nation to train enough hoplites and cavalry to have a chance of denting China who's population was much larger than the middle east and Greece put together at that time and by that time Alexander would be dead and the empire fragmented as usually happens after a great conqueror carves out a huge empire.
