8 Ancient Empires You've Never Heard Of - History Countdown
video description
So Mexico City altitude is already 7300 feet above sea level. Then when you go to Teotihuacan you can climb the pyramids. Let me tell you, I was already not used to the altitude, and then climbing those very narrow, steep steps up the huge pyramids! Literally, there were Mexican school children running like Olympic sprinters up those steps past me while I huffed and puffed and hung on! And I was only 27 years old!
But it was really an amazing day. The place is huge, and so incredibly memorable. I highly recommend going there.

Some of the empires are well known outside of USA. For example, the Persian empires, the Arabic Caliphates are well known in China. The weirdest thing is Calling Khitan Liao dynasty unknown. It is like calling Macedonian empire not a Greek empire.

Abbasid caliphate is an middle age empire. How could this be considered ancient empire? It is one of the largest land based empire. You should learn about history more.

History should correct itself. It's AD and BC not BCE and CE. CE and BCE are only for scientific contexts. Historical contexts SHOULD BE AD and BC,
