Does Viking culture count as ancient? If so, Viking culture.

 

I was gonna say Romans but then you reminded me that Vikings were a thing

Olmec. They're shrouded in mystery.

Olmec. They're shrouded in mystery.

Interesting thing about the Olmec is that there is strong evidence to suggest that they may be descended from Africans who came to the Americas, they built this city that was so advanced that when the Toltecs and later Aztecs found it they thought it was built by the gods which is why the Aztecs named the city Teotihucan which in their language means "city of the gods".

My favorite ancient culture is Ancient Egypt. They brought the world so many contributions to mathematics and engineering, it's safe to assume we owe them many of the things we take for granted now.

 

Interestingly, among the things i like about that culture:

 

-They used their joints for counting, instead of their fingers, making calculations in bases higher than 10.

 

-They were among the first to recognize PI by designing rationally correct pillars and attempting to divide them to pieces.

 

-Despite the harsh desert sands that composed many of their territories, they had many ideas to move sustain their population and thrive.

Ancient Japan just because I'm a weeabo like that...I just find the unification of Japan and how they went from small tribes and villages to one of the most powerful nation in such a short time.
