As being as objective as possible, what would you say is the greatest civilization or country in human history and why?
>>73878596
Egypt, they build the pyramids n shit.
The Roman Republic
Where? Anywhere in pic related. When? right now. So yea pretty much modern western civilisation
And before that obviously European civilisation, from Rome through to the colonization of Americas.
>>73878596
Spain because of how they domesticated the horse and invented gunpowder and spread Catholic values.
>>73878596
Is OP that huge Hittite hill-fort stronghold fortress of solitude?
>>73879678
Isn't that the prison in Mexico that El Chapo escaped from?
Byzantine. No doubt about it
Western civilization contributed the most to humanity.
>>73878596
Abos
Israel because God.
>>73879551
>Eastern Europe border
>heavily guarded border zone
Yes goy, literally the same as the DMZ.
And I can think of arguments as to why China or Japan or even the ancient middle east could have spawned the greatest civilization.

>>73880473
America does not have an empire. You have a sphere of influence but have never actually had an empire.
>>73880530
Rome fell because of it's size (logistic issues of governance) and huge influx of foreign migration.
Culture mixing was a strength because they managed to take the best out of every other culture they conquered.
>>73880416
The brits didn't genocide Ireland, they genocided Scotland.

Why does your country get two fucking different names, Britain AND England? Make up your fucking minds on what you want to be called already.
Britain/England is so snowflake.
>>73878596
I think the objectively right answer to this question is the Roman Empire.
>>73880530
Roman culture was homogenizing as fuck though, they took men from every race and creed and made them Roman to the core in a single generation. This wasn't modern 'multiculturalism' no matter how leftist historical revisionists try to paint it as such. If you lived in Roman territory, you lived by Roman law.
By the 5th century the Roman Army was mainly non-Roman by race yet their discipline and martial ability was as vaunted as ever despite being underfunded and overstretched far more than any 1st century Legion. If they'd relied only on ethnic Romans, they'd have been fucked, by that time most ethnic Romans were rich, soft and too involved in politics to be interested in service, Roman men cut off their thumbs rather than serve in the Legions.
The Roman Empire was killed by corruption, civil war and weak leaders, and even then it proved resilient enough as a society to limp on for centuries after losing it's preeminence.
>>73880381

Daily reminder that the Scots essentially invited the Edward to come rule Scotland prior to the (almost entirely fictional) events of Braveheart because they were tired of their constant civil wars and petty assassinations and wanted a strong king to sort shit out for them, then got upset when they realised he wasn't just going to do all the hard work of sorting their shitty country out and then fuck off south again.

America 1915 to 1955
The wars and the american dream pushed the brightest people from around the world to travel to the new world,
and their culminated efforts allowed america to rise as a great nation and created the intellectual environment for the most academic progress ever felt in history. It is a testament not just to american greatness (for creating the environment and society where the human mind could flourisb the most readily while other countries could not, due to the war), but western and white greatness
Everyone telling "Rom" is just shows how uneducated they are about WORLD history, or rather - how Europe centured education is in western world, for which purposes rest of the world might have not existed until colonial age.
Rom`s only achievement is creating somewhat lasting empire. Even Alexandr of Makedon conquered more lands than Roman Empire had. While the roman culture was important for europe and development of western civilization - during roman time it was actually quite stale for longest periods - rapid development in begining, than barely any for centuries. Most of science and culture were appropriated from Helenic culture - which is by far more important and culturally impactful civilization, than Rom itself: which merely emulated it on large part.
2000 years before rom there already were first Chinese dynasties, and 200bd-400ad, a life time of Roman Empire - china was MUCH more advanced civilization: both in terms of culture, litteracy, trade, military science and tech. Litterally hundreds of years ahead of Europe in some aspects
About 400AD both Rom and China pretty much fell apart. Golden Age of China came later though 600-900 AD, while Europe was in its Dark Ages.
Until pretty much 15th century, China was by far the most advanced civilization, also with its share of constant troubles (also Europe at time had it even worse at times). At colonial age the tide turned, and western world won itself advantage by exploiting the resources and population of colonies rest of the world still cant catch up, since it allowed first entrance to Industrial age later, and thus big leap in technology - resulting in currently west being dominant.

>Le China was more advanced that Rome meme
Han China a shit.
Fancy pottery and fabrics =/= Civilisational greatness. It was more advanced in some areas but not any that count as an 'achievement'.
Rome at it's height build structures that would have baffled Chinese architects, the Chinese army was conscription based for most of it's 'golden age' and didn't have seige engines or drills anywhere near as advanced as Romes.
The Eastern Roman legal system has become inspiration for modern legal systems the world over, not the fucking Chinese one.
It also administered a smaller population than Rome and no Chinese city ever rivalled Rome or Constantinople at their heights.
You're just parroting something 'Muh Diversity' idiots like to claims so they can feel smugly superior over others because THEY aren't afflicted by horrible, white cishet Eurocentrism.
Depends on how you mesure it
if you think that civilization that ruled longest - then ofc Egypt have no competitors - 5000 years where on second place is Roman with only about 1000 years of rule.
if you think greatness is mesured with number of accomplishments, then modern civilization ofc
if you count by overwinning against all odds, then ancient greek must be - winning with few thousands army against nearly million persian army or russian states during 1200-1300 winning against Golden Horde

The dynastic period in Egypt started in 3100 B.C.
By 3600 B.C., Sumer had invented the wheel, writing, the sail boat, agricultural processes such as irrigation, and the concept of the city.
And a lot of the things you listed.

Ancient Greece, the mother of Western Civilisation. Here are some reasons why:
* Science has its origins in Ancient Greece via Thales of Miletus, who was the first person in known human history to claim natural causes for phenomena (as opposed to supernatural causes, for example because of 'gods').
* Major mathematical principles originated from Ancient Greece via Pythagoras, Diophantus of Alexandria (the father of algebra) and Euclid (the father of geometry).
* Ancient Greek colonialism paved the way for Ancient Roman colonialism, which paved the way for European colonialism in the 16th century to the mid-20th century. This allowed aspects of Western Civilisation to spread to every part of this planet and Western Civilisation originates from Ancient Greece.
* The Latin script is the most widely used script in the world today and the mother of the Latin script is the Greek script.
* History was born in Ancient Greece via Herodotus.
* Democracy comes from Ancient Greece and, back then, democracy was not the pleb-tier, so-called 'representative' bullshit we have today. The Ancient Greeks practised direct democracy because their cities usually only had a few thousand people and only adult males were considered 'citizens', so pretty much everyone important had a say.
* Western philosophy, Western literature, the field of medicine, trial by jury and equality under the law all have their origin in Ancient Greece.
* Anaximander came up with a rudimentary theory of evolution millennia before Darwin was even born.
* Many words in European languages (like English, for example) are derived from the Greek language.

Let's just agree that a truly great civilization was Sumer, but they left us.
China, their empire yas never failed or fallen, they're still going strong and have created great things like gunpowder and noodles. Also they did what we can't and never will, they built a wall.

Germanic tribe. And then they became part of the French ethnic group and French civilization. The Germans have formed on the basis of other Germanic tribes on the edge of France (i respect german civ. too).

I'm not sure whether I can fault you for a dumb statement like this. For you didn't choose to be born subhuman in a turdworld and it's equally turdworld education.
The upcoming new chinese empire. Eastern cultures don't have this twisted habitus of individualism that destroys all western civs.

Its so dissapointing to see that every single one of you is wrong. Its obviously the Mongol Empire. They had the largest empire in the history of man kind, and repurcussions are still seen today, look at the finns.

That's debatable, Franks doesn't equal French. And it's origins lie tied to the Holy Roman Empire. Not to speak of the later Baroque expansions.

This. They managed to turn a cannibal island into a country with the highest living standard in the world in less than two centuries. They turned a jungle of niggers into the breadbasket of Africa. They turned fucking India into the crown jewel of their world spanning empire.
Which is why it's so sad seeing them kill themselves like this.

Yes, over the entire globe.
America is beyond an empire.

Of course, I was referring only the Karl's castle. The cathedral itself is already undeniable is German heritage.
As for the French, the Franks became the nucleus of the French ethnic group. And the French, as an ethnic group was formed in the Frankish kingdom as their own state.
Late Frankish kings were fully romanized.

Aachen? French?
No, nothing about Aachen is french. It's german and always has been.
Karl der Große made Aachen his residency.
He was never called Charles by his contemporaries. He was a germanic tribe leader (franks) called Karl.
