>if you allow it to start in 496 AD

Why do so many people post old but dead civilisation ? Shouldnt one of the top factor be that they are still here to this day ?

>>2624241
No, that's fucking retarded. Literally all civilizations eventually fall. There have been no exceptions. The US will one day cease to exist, as will modern Europe, as will Islamic nations etc.

Hell, 1000 years from now people will probably even question whether some places we know of today even existed in the first place.

A civilization no longer being around has no bearing on how great or important it was.

>>2623412
So you would List pre-mongol Islam but not the Persians ?

But the conquering Mongols and Manchus kept the institutions and the language and the culture alive instead of imposing their own. Kublai Khan literally got Confucian scholar to help him choose the Yuan dynasty name, hired Chinese officials to help him with Chinese court rituals and culture, made sure his sons had a Confucian Chinese education, and in the end was content to rule China as a Chinese emperor instead of as part of a world Mongol empire that didn't really exist as a single entity anymore. By the time the Qing fell, the Manchu culture and identity had almost disappeared as it was sinicized and subsumed into China. China's institutions made allowance for a foreign invader to simply slot in and provide the function of emperor over the existing bureaucracy, and China's culture was basically the Borg.
