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 debate here seems to hinge on the idea that africans are somehow "not as good" as other races that exist in the world.  They're going through a time of strife, as they have at many times during their history, and which all races have gone through at different times.  Even the Japanese, venerated as the smartest people in the world by those who study IQ as a genetic phenomenon, had many times of chaos and rampant criminal activity during their history. 

You can't point to any single thing that demonstrates without a doubt that africans are inferior to your master races.  They have done all the good things you've done, and you've done all the bad things they've done.

End of story.
