Which of the ancient civilizations left the biggest legacy? Persia,

>>67472823
Greece and China maybe

>>67472823
ancient china by far
Rome, Greece and Persia share so much that if you were to separate each of their accomplishments you'd find a much smaller share.

>>67472823
Ancient Fingolia

>>67472823
Rome

Ancient India

Ancient China

>>67472823
Mesopotamia, obviously.
They were the first of the bunch to farm and they also influenced the Greeks, Egyptians, and the Persians

Rome or China.

Greece and Rome of course. They laid the foundation of the modern civilization.

Rome
Persia
Greece
Mesopotamia
China(dont know shit about china desu)

>>67472823
China then Greece.

In that order.

All other nations copied off of them.

Rome by far because we still use their legal system after 2000 years.

Easily Rome or Greece

>>67472823
The sand niggers gave us trigonometry.

Clearly Rome. How many languages have a little Latin? Fuck tons. The entire western world pretty much. China? Greece? Egypt? Not so much.

>people saying China

Seriously? They did fuck all

>>67474589
well they made China

Rome by a margin of 2000%

Rome and Greece, easily. Can't understand why all these people are saying China

>>67474674
Saying Ancient China is still around because modern China exists is like saying Ancient Rome exists because Italy exists 2bh

Are you retarded? Greeks copied hard off the civilizations of the Tigris and Euphrates.

dingus

>>67476456
What has been the legacy of Persia outside of Iran? It's mentioned in the bible a couple times, they were the bad guys in 300. Anything else?

>>67476537
Eh I read a lot about it a while ago, can't remember all of it. But off the top of my head there was stuff like human rights, the system of governance, monotheism, coins, postal system and all kinds of stuff. And later on, most of the advances made in the sciences by "Arabs" were actually Persians writing in Arabic.

>>67476615
That's some pretty weak shit compared with Rome. Besides, I think you think Hammurabi's code was from Persia.

>>67476699
>Hammurabi's code
Wasn't even thinking of it. Perhaps you should look into Cyrus' cylinder, some of your founding fathers admired it prior to writing the declaration thing.

>>67476728
The founding father sadmired anything that had some freedom writing on it like the cortes of León

>>67476757
Good for them

Ancient China, Rome and Greece. Nobody else comes even close.

>>67476790
What about Israel?

>>67476728
They admired a whole bunch of shit. Supposedly they admired the Iroquois' "Great Law of Peace".

When it comes to art, literature, innovations and modern influence Rome takes this hands down. We have months named after Caesars and the religion Rome spread is now the largest religion on earth. Persia got conquered and converted and it's native religion is now a small quirky anachronism.

>>67476865
Maybe, but you said yourself you know very little about it. They did a whole heap of shit that gets no publicity, like vast and intricate underground canal systems that made desert regions prosperous until the Timurids destroyed them. Persian art and literature is obviously extremely rich for anybody with a basic education. And where is Rome now? Persia has had a continuous language and culture that still persists to this day, BTFOing half the Middle East.

>>67476932
Also, you should look into how much of the Renaissance actually came out of the Middle East and Central Asia. Medicine, science, even ancient Greek works were primarily translated from Arabic texts.

>>67472823
Romania

>>67473872
But the Romans copied the Greeks, especially in all cultural matters. Their legal and administrative contributions were unique though.

>>67476932
We could go on all day about who's art was better than who's but this thread is about legacy and despite the impressive accomplishments of the Persian Empire, their legacy is basically nil.
London, Istanbul and Paris were all founded by Rome. what great cities outside of Iran were founded by the Persian Empire?

The one that invented writing.
But hell, asking who had the biggest legacy. It's not a pissing contest.

Greek copied everything from the Phoenicians, Romans copied everything from the Greek.

>>67477073
Ascribing modern day Europe to the Romans is extremely tenuous, but anyway. Depending on your definition of great you have Baghdad, Bukhara, Samarkand and I think Kabul from memory, maybe Yerevan. Probably more.

The Mesopotanians.
They invented the concept of the city and its laws before all others did while also coming up with the agricultural revolution.

>>67477141
>tenuous
There's an entire branch of languages that exist because of all the places Rome occupied. Farsi is a meme language and is completely overshadowed by Arabic even in it's own region.
Modern Europe has Rome's religion speaks the descended languages of Rome, uses Romes Alphabet, Lives in Roman cities and uses Romes calendar.
>Baghdad
Abbasid
>Bukhara
200k people live there and it existed before the Persian empire.
>Bukhara
Still less than 1m people and also pre-dates Persia.
>Kabul
I said "great city" not "synonym for squalid shit-hole". And also predates Persia.

>>67477058
The innovation in the roman law was the dismiss of the legis actiones for the formular system. Their processal law was very modern and even later, during the empire period, it suffered a heavy decadence.

Franks were german, frog in denial

>>67479444

Franks were a germanic tribe, Germany is an invention of the 19th century

>>67479473
Yeah Germania was never mentioned before, retard.

>>67479486

Germania was never a nation, it was a geographical area. Even the HRE failed as a nation.

>>67479513
Really grasping at straws now you surrender monkey.
Germans united against external threats that's why we survived the Romans and ruled over them afterwards for hundreds of years while you Gallic subhumans surrendered after a pathetic defeat.

Germans:

""""french"""":

>>67479578
You must be totally retarded to believe that people back then identified as Germans. Just like saying Gauls are French is ridiculous.

>>67479686
Looks like you are in full grasping at straws to not get a total loss mode now which equals a surrender, my job here is done.

>>67479578
Germany only became a country after the Franco-Prussian war. Stop trying to make Germany into some ancient country. It's not.

Obviously Rome, they conquered most of Europe, heavily influenced most of the languages and built lots of stuff.

>>67472823
Mesopotamia by far. Not because of quantity, but quality. The few things they did paved the way for the rest.

The great African empire of Wewuz, of which only the fragment known as Egypt survived into surviving written recordings.

Rome and Greece, since former is pretty much the cultural/heritage heir of the latter.

They laid basis of Western Civilisation which conquered the fucking planet.

It's been two millenias and we still use their legal code.
It's been two millenias and their languages are the language of natural science and medicine
It's been two millenias and we still pray to the same God they kickstarted.

China was relevant in its time, sure. But it had nowhere near the influence of the world of the ancient Romans.

>What is a nation

>>67480268
The concept of German nationalism is hundreds of years younger than a concept of nationalism of a eastern-horde slavshit nation known as Poland.
