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.

First of all: The white race didn't discover how to travel the globe first. You should know better than this. Human reaserch indicates the first travelers of the world were African, African Arabs and then the Chinese. (IN THAT ORDER)

Second of all: You don't get to define civilization or modern thinking. These are defined by the dictionary and generally by those who have a higher education and more of an advance intellect than you. So, by that definition Sub-Sahara Africa did have civilization and were exetremely capable of modern thinking. Your refusal to acknowledge the fact that the human race has not genetically changed when it comes to intellect (therefore acknowledging the ability of Subsaharans to "think modern").
