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.

NO, HUMANS HAVEN'T CHANGED AT ALL SINCE THEY LEFT AFRICA!   BLUE EYES, BIG NOSES, PALE SKIN?  THAT ALL EVOLVED IN AFRICA!  THEY JUST LEFT BECAUSE IT WAS TOO HOT DOWN THERE FOR THEM TO LIVE!
