Which Ancient Civilisation?



I got:

Incas
You scored 81% for Education, 48% for Religion, 41% for Military Might, and 21% for Decentralization!
Mysteriously, this vanished people were enlightened and educated to a magnificent level. Scientific, artistic, with a vast understanding of the stars and astrology, the Incas of Peru were the first great science society in the Americas. We speculate a society of great thinkers and curious scienctist. To value knowledge, art, and culture above all things would make for the best Incan society had to offer. You belong here because you think these things make for immortality, and you might just be right.

Alexanderia

You scored 63% for Education, 36% for Religion, 51% for Military Might, and 51% for Decentralization!

The vast empire of Alexander the Great never held a true name, since it only lasted a short while. The mark made of the world, however, is still around today! With very little authority outside of Alexander's army and a simple tax system in place to show rulership, this was almost a working anarchy on the large scale (the small scale however, not so much). While Alexander was tromping around the world, not much changed after he conquered a land. To belong here might not seem special, BUT to belong along Alexander himself you must love organization, a fine leader of example and deed and the finer things in life too. Alexander was taught by the best, and had he lived longer maybe a Golden Age would have begun of military prowess and higher thought.

My score on The Ancient Civiliazation for you Test:

**************************************

Sparta
(You scored 70% for Education, 50% for Religion, 53% for Military Might, and 35% for Decentralization!)

"Greece was comprised of many city-states for most of its Golden Age, and second to none was Sparta! A society of perfectionist, the spartans did not care for "soft" or "pretty" things save the Battle and the Art of War. Here, great philosophy was formed on the nature of Life and Death and War while soldiers trained constantly in the hope of perfection.

It is all about Perfect War and self-perfection, education of the self and the body. Unlike other war-like nations, to belong to Sparta is not just to want to fight, or to fight well, but to fight in all things and to think of fighting and to eat, drink, and dream of fighting. But mostly, it is Perfect Fighting. It is all about perfection, and you seeker of perfection (maybe not in fighting, but in something) would find the sharp focus of these people a good match."

The Germans
You scored 41% for Education, 43% for Religion, 53% for Military Might, and 61% for Decentralization!
Germania was a dark forested land feared and loathed by the Romans to the South. The Germans were fierce ax-warriors whom used both clubs and the heads of their enemies in battle! Both brutal and skilled in war, the Germans were a terrible foe to all before them. Living in the Dark Wood is only for those who love a little blood, a strong drink and a thrill. Being here is best for those whom trive on physical contests and challenges of might.

Imperial Rome
You scored 63% for Education, 56% for Religion, 61% for Military Might, and 28% for Decentralization!
Few things conjure to mind central authority, powerful armies, great religion and a unified sense of destiny like Rome. Controlling most of the "known" world in antiquity, Rome was the greatest empire until modern day that all things European strived to be like. You belong with only the best, the smartest and the most powerful. Why belong to some smaller, more patethic nation when you can have the finest gods and churchs, the best education and art and the finest armies ever to keep you safe? No indeed, for in Rome you can find anything, the best of everything, and you would have it no other way.




My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on Education

You scored higher than 99% on Religion

You scored higher than 99% on Military Might

You scored higher than 99% on Decentralizatio

This has confused the Inca with the Mayan. Mayan had everything mentioned, Inca had little. Writing, mathematics, astronomy, measure of time, were all Mayan. Inca did some metal work, so did others, they excelled at stonework, and had the only beast of burden. Other than that the potatoe.

Is this another Mel Gibson version of The Americas?

No, it is a quiz, designed for fun and entertainment as opposed to historical accuracy.

One does wish that quiz writers would be more accurate though. Still, it's fun.
