Right... Egypt is all about building tombs. Never was an empire.Originally posted by Harry Tuttle
Less emphasis on building tombs, more emphasis on building an empire. Egypt was centered around a river for 4,000 years. Whoopie.

Never was the place were it all started, without whom (probably bad English...) we wouldn't even be here as we are now...
At least you got the 4000 years right

I wonder why people vote for the Romans as greatest civilization. Aren't they basically the Greek copy&pasted, with only some extra architecture tricks added?Comment

If we voted on the idea of which civilization existed longer then yes, the argument could be made that "Egypt", the fragmented civilization that existed along a waterway conducive to agriculture, was the greatest. The fact is that the Egyptian empire barely extended past its immediate boundaries, centered its world around the afterlife, and left us with monuments rather than an "idea" of what constitutes modern day civilization. Rome celebrated civilization. Egypt celebrated the dead.Originally posted by Hueij

Besides if it wasn't for the Romans, we probably would remember little of the Greeks.

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

Well Egyptians lasted as a great civilization for thousands of years while Rome wasn't great for 1,000. Even if Egypt focused more on the dead than civilization, they seem to know more about civiliztaion than Rome.Rome celebrated civilization. Egypt celebrated the dead.Last edited by Will9; September 30, 2007, 01:34.USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
