Are the contributions of prior peoples rendered moot simply because their ancestral language is no longer being spoken?
Why is a larger or longer empire inherently a better one? I don’t care about conquests and empires, I care about cultures, peoples, and innovations.
And frankly regarding religion, I don’t think which delusion has the biggest fanbase is a valid indicator of anything more than popularity, tbh (especially when a good number of that “popularity” came at the end of a sword).
All that being said, I have to admit I didn’t expect my off-hand quip in response to the memeification of the Roman Empire was going to get me into a debate with the official Roman Tourism Board, so I do have to admit that I feel a bit unequipped in this conflict.

I mean… you haven’t given any reason why the Greeks were superior, so…
You’re right, and I don’t intend to either.
I mean… don’t say clearly contentious things if you don’t want people to challenge them.
You are welcome to challenge my comments, Flying Squid. I lob zero objections.
