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.

when he reached india his total army size was considerably larger than what he started with after he conquered persia. there were more persians than greeks in his army by then. he won a great victory againts the indian kingdom of hydaspes, he even spared the captured king's life and let him rule on in his name. it was his greek soldiers who refused to go push eastward after 8 years of conquest. and if he did pushed eastward, i doubt anyone could stand in his way.
