LennonCook · 05-08-2002, 06:12 AM

I like all of them... Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Monguls, Chinese... and all for the same reason- they are historically important, and even if they arent interesting from a personal perspective, they are definsately quite interesting from a historical point of view.

Mine has to be the Byzantine Empire.
It lasted more than any other empire although it was feared and contrasted mainly by Christians.
The longevity of the Byzantine empire was remarkable as were their coltural technological and military achievements.
@Yoric
I disagree with your view of Alexander.
He was never defeated in battle and accepted the customs of the civilazations he conquered.IMHO he was THE greatest general to ever walk this planet so far.
