there are no 'best' civilizations. It is a waste of effort and time determining the 'best' of anything in history.

The best civilization is one that despenses of ego driven goals... but wait, this is impossible..ah we humans are wretched things.

I knew that someone would say the cliche "there is no best civilization" that's why I use expressions like: "best", your favorite, in your opinion, to underline the subjectivity of the choices. But I didn't avoid this kind of comments.

is not the real cliche asking for a best civilisation in the first place, look back in the history of this forum and it's been done to death.

But i'll say the greeks just to make you feel better, thats what you were after right..

I go with Aloeverate.The real magnifisence of a civilization is it's capability to respect other cultures and recognize their contributions,like Hellenism.

Yah, "best" civilization is a rather pointless question... you could've avoided the comments and backlash if you asked a more specific (like "more valuable in the course of mankind" or "more contributing in the history of mankind" or something even more restrictive) or a more subjective ("your favorite civilization" or something along these lines.
If you wanna play arrogant with me, you better have some very solid facts to back up that arrogance, or I'll tear you to pieces

Blindone,

the word "best" (in quotation marks) was in my introductory comment and not in the question or in the topic's name.

The topic is: Favorite culture (is anywhere the word best?)

and the question is: Whats your favorite ancient civilization and culture? (is it here?) 

Nobody saw them? I think everyone can have a favorite culture, part of history etc. If I'm accused of that, just shoot me..

 Mate i am with you, I have no intantion to shoot anyone, well expect some of my friends .

 I just wanted to express my thoughts that the word favorite fits better than the word best ( if i saw wrong then i apologise to you, but in the begging haven't you put the word Best?)

The topic and the question were from the beginning like that. They cannot change! You saw wrong! That's why your nick is Blindone!

Aide re Kamaki... C'mon !

70 to 80% of topics are "who is the best..." "What is the greatest..." "What battle..." - and most recently and quite innovative i must say - "Most horrible massacre...".

All I am saying is that this kind of thread always leads to debates that goes in circles. Katalavez ?

Don't forget to always ( ).

Cheers.

It's your right to share your opinion and ideas with us and it's my right to answer when something concerns me. In this forum we have the chance to post poll questions. If you don't like the "poll thing", sorry but nobody can help you. But you know, the fact that all the poll question starts with "who/what was the best/greatest...etc" doesn't mean that all the polls are the same. "What is your favorite mythology" for example, has nothing to do with "What's your favorite civilization" or "What was the strongest ancient army".

K !!

cheers

there's no point to vote as all the chinese would vote for chinese, all the europeans would vote for greek/roman, and the middle east people would vote for the arab culture.
