The Question of the Week!

What is your favourite civilisation/period in history and why?

My favourite one probably around 1620 America with the Puritans. I love their style of writing and the idea of being in an entirely new land, so far from home, with all of the emotions they were going through is fascinating to me.

I have always been fascinated by the Harappan Civilization which roughly existed from 3300 BC to 1300 BC. While we haven't been able to decipher texts yet, archaeological evidences shows that were a very advanced civilization and their people enjoyed a great quality of life. The reason for their demise is still disputed, some say its because of a droughts and a succession of major earth quakes, others it is due to an invasion of Aryan tribes. I do hope we can decipher their language and understand their texts.

Undeciphered languages are so cool.

i don't particularly research history just for fun, however i'm partial to the greek and roman eras simply because of their mythology.

This is a really interesting question, especially since I admire many different cultures and eras, but I shall try my best to find some that I particulary like: The Etruscan civilisation; The Kingdom of Greco-Bactria and the Indo-Greek Kingdom; The Mionian Civilisation; The White Huns; The Ashikaga Shogunate; The Andean and Amazonian Civilisations; The North American Plain, Forest, Desert and Swamp tribes; The Chinese Civilisation in general (especially the Warring States Era); The Khmer Empire and Celtic Culture in general. I would really like to put the Avar Khanagate; The Onogour Tribe Alliance; The Kingdom of Dacia; The Kingdom of Ethiopia or Aksum; The Nubian Empire; The Philisteans; The Phoenicians; The Median Empire; The Nabateans; Korean Civilisation in general; The Boer Republic; The Dutch Empire; Burgundy; The Kieavian Rus; The Bulgar Empire; The Voldga Bulgarians; The Swedish Empire; The Khanaate of Kazan; The Arminian Empire; The Ottoman Empire; Al-Andalus or The Emirate of Cordoba; The Republic of Florence; The Most Serene Republic of Venice; The Kingdom of Macedon/ The Macedonian Empire and the Diadochi; Classical Hellenistic Culture; The Mezo-American Civilisations; The Ocean Peoples; Maori; Tonga; The Papuans; The Kingdom of Georgia; The Scandinavian Tribes; The Germanic Tribes (From the Ancient and Early Medieval Era); The Slavic Tribes (From the Ancient and Early Medieval Era); The italic Tribes; The Tyrannian Peoples; The Ligurians; The Kingdom of Pontos; The Kingdom of Epiros; The (Pagan) Kingdom of Lithuania; The Republic of Novgorod; The Hanza League in general; The Levantine League in general; The Cossacks; The Indus Valley Civilisation; The Yellow River Civilisation; The Republic of Carthage; The Roman Republic/ Empire; The Kingdom of Dai Viet; The Kingdom of Siem; Bengal; The Tamal Kings; The Holy Roman Empire; The Empire of Greater Moravia; The Kingdom of Hungary; The Kingdom of Croatia; The Grand Duchy of Transylvania; The Kingdom of Serbia; The Teutonic Order; The Mughal Empire; The Timurid Emoire; The Seljuk Empire; The Kingdom of Poland; Turik Culture in general; The Manchus; The Yamato Empire; The Empire of Japan (modern era); The Thirteen Colonies; Greater Zimbabwe; Empire of Mali; The Kingdom of Kongo; Numidia; The Sarmatians; The Scythians; The Carribian "Natives"; Stone Age Civilisations; The Zulu; The Hunnic Empire, The Xioughou Confederacy and The Mongolian Empire on the list as well, but I feel like it is already overstertched... And if I really had to pick a single favourite I would probably pick The Etruscans.

Apologies for the not-so-proper response!
