For many its the Roman empire or the Greeks. Similarly ancient Egypt. Or the British empire. Maybe the Japanese, Chinese and Norse as the next 3.

I have deliberately not mentioned time periods there.

These are the most commonly beloved. What are your favourites and why?

    • Late Antiquity Roman Empire aka 300s-600s
    • Ancient Egypt, pre-dynastic to new kingdom
    • Neolithic and Bronze Age Europe, pre-indo-european and early Indo-Europan

    Another fascinating period for me is precolumbian South America, even though I don’t know as much about it. But I can’t really visit any physical remains or museums easily. It really matters to me if I can just see, or even better touch something from that ancient civilization.
