Which Ancient Civilization Would You Like To Live In?
Ancient Greece for me!



Sure it has its (huge, Huge, HUGE!) problems, but from what I've learned about it, it sounds great. Well, obviously not so great if you were a slave, but still. All that art, culture, and philosophy, all these new thoughts and events booming all over the place. Man I would have loved to have been there. :)

4. Aztecs - they were big on cleanliness and sanitation.
most of the rest of the ancient civilzations were pretty nasty in those regards.

5. Minoan. Also, it appeared that the citizens of Pompeii were
enjoying a great quality of life up until the volcano erupted.

12. Minoan. They had sewage systems first and knew how to have a good time.

From the smiles on the faces of the women painted on their walls in Knossos, they knew how to live!
