Israel.

They were pretty much the only good force in a degenerate pagan world, until Christ came along.

Definitely Hittites, they had very aesthetic uniforms and also were one of the first people to utilize iron.

Hittite and quit it.

Depends how far you go but the Assyrians last a long time being bad motherfuckers. I was cheering for Babylon but they get shrekt.

Israel and Judea. They have a long history of war, persecution and resisting regional super powers. Alexander the Great liked them as well

It would have been interesting to see what all the people with language isolates such as the Sumerians and Hurro-Urartians would have done had their civilizations endured since these people are probably related to the creators of the earliest Neolithic and Bronze Age technologies. Their civilizations probably weren't strong enough though otherwise they wouldn't have been superseded.

I'm partial to the (Neo-)Assyrians because I enjoy learning about militarist societies.

Also, Hittites > Egypt

lol, the old Testament is literally about trying to convert them to Monotheism, but they consistently fell into idolatry.

Can you blame them though, they were as island in a sea of polytheism.

You have to realize that the Israelite people were naked heading into the Levant, they were clothed in the Levantine peoples and beyond.
