While you are certainly free to vote based on whatever criteria you think is important, I think there is too much of a tendency to vote on the basis of what a civ "gave us". I think there is more to civilizations besides their scientific achievements.

Arabia served as an important bridge between west and east during the time period for scientific and technology purposes, so should get a nod for that reason, but there is so much more to the culture.

The military accomplishments of the early Islamic Arabs was incredibly noteworthy. Uniting everything from Spain to India is not an easy task. Military prowess is definitely worthy of note in this contest imho. Amazing architecture and art throughout the Arab world as well.

Thats what i hate about the arab\muslim thing. Dozens of cultures, religions, and other groups are steamrolled and the entire areas historical culture is annihilated. Cool empires like persia, egypt, and the like come to an abrupt and final ending here. Sure other countries have destroyed in the same way but few in so large an area. Ofcourse USA did this to the NA, but 1million NA continents qould be worth 1 Mediterainiens IMO in terms of being interesting

We should probably increase (double?) the number of points you can add/subtract at some point, otherwise this is going to take forever...
