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?

    So I am kind of building my historical concept from today, year by year and epoch and epoch into the past.

    That’s so odd to me because of how much the previous periods influenced what came next. Like how much of the absolute monarchical power and economic imbalance and (relatively) free access to information caused the peasant classes to rise up in the French Revolution.

    I’m not criticising or anything just seems to me to be topsy-turvy.
