What do you "thing" about reading the facts others provided (great work there om3ga), accepting you've been wrong, and trying to enhance your education. And while you're at it You Might just read up on spelling and grammar, since you seem to be quite interested in languages and their use.
No, I still don't think she's hot either

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Since you're being selective with the origins of global history, I guess some more education is in order:
Alexander III (late July, 356 BC–June 10, 323 BC), commonly known in the West as Alexander the Great or Alexander of Macedon, in Greek Megas Alexandros, King of Macedon (336 BC-323 BC). Alexander is known in some Eastern traditions such as Middle Persian literature as Alexander the Cursed due to his burning of the Persian capital and national library (one man's hero is another man's villain - but that would be opening up another can of worms involving differing perceptions in the Middle East and the West, and I don't even want to think about it).
Nebuchadrezzar (sometimes Nebuchadnezzar) II (ca. 605 BC - ca. 562 BC), perhaps the best known ruler of Babylon in the Neo-Babylonian Dynasty. He is (in)famous for his conquests of Judah and Jerusalem, in addition to his monumental building within his capital of Babylon. He is sometimes called "Nebuchadrezzar the Great", but because of his destruction of temples in Jerusalem and the conquest of Judah, he was vilified in the Bible and the appellation of "Great" did not survive in western contexts. In the Arabic world, and especially in Iraq, he is often considered to be the greatest king of Babylon, and was a frequent object of comparison in the self-aggrandizing propaganda of Saddam Hussein.
Menpehtyre Ramesses I (also written Ramses and Rameses) was the founding Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt's 19th dynasty. The dates for his short period on the throne are unclear, but 1320-1318 BC, 1295-1294 BC, or 1292-1290 BC are frequently given.
I don't know about you, but it appears that Ramesses & Nebuchadrezzar were around long before Alexander came on the scene. Still not convinced? Lets look at a few countries then:
China was one of the earliest centers of human civilization. The Chinese language was also one of the few languages to invent writing independently, the other languages being that of ancient Mesopotamia (Sumerians), the Mayans, India(Sanskrit),and Egypt. The first dynasty according to Chinese historical sources was the Xia dynasty; however there is no archaeological evidence definitively attesting a Xia dynasty (although some neolithic sites have been suggested to be such). The first confirmed dynasty is the Shang, who settled along the Huang He river, dating from the 18th to the 12th centuries BC. The Shang were in turn invaded by the Zhou (12th to 5th centuries BC), whose centralized authority was slowly eroded by the ceding of state-like authority to warlords ruling small states; eventually, in the Spring and Autumn period, many strong independent states, in continuous war, paid but nominal deference to the Zhou state as the Imperial centre. They were all unified under one emperor in 221 BC by Qin Shihuangdi, ushering in the Qin Dynasty, the first unified centralized Chinese state.
Archaeological research indicates that the earliest inhabitants of Japan migrated over land bridges from Korea and Siberia at least 30,000 years ago. Some may have also later come by sea from the Philippines and Polynesia. The first signs of civilization appeared around 10,000 BC with the Jomon culture, characterized by a Mesolithic to Neolithic semi-sedentary hunter-gatherer lifestyle of pit-dwelling and a rudimentary form of agriculture. Weaving was still unknown, and archaeological findings indicate that clothes were often made of bark. By 3,000 BC, however, the Jomon people were making clay figures and vessels decorated with patterns made by impressing the wet clay with braided or unbraided cord and sticks (jomon means "patterns of plaited cord"). This led to the manufacture of the earliest known form of pottery in the world.
I'm sorry, but while Greece is known as "the cradle of western civilization", - China and Egypt (to name but a few) had already established civilizations while Greece was nowhere.
Hell, even while Europe was developing in the Middle Ages, other parts of the world were doing likewise:
Mhunhumutapa or Monomotapa Empire was a medieval kingdom (reaching a peak around the 1440s) located in Southern Africa covering mainly the modern states of Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Its capital city was the Great Zimbabwe. Gold from Monomotapa reached the port of Sofala south of the Zambezi delta, where Arab traders waited. The Portuguese brought ***** to bear as early as 1505 to place the trade in Portuguese control, and the trade was well in hand, Fernand Braudel asserts, by 1513. The fabrics of Gujerat drew the gold to the coast. Pressures of trade with outsiders were transformed, Monotapa was riven by rival factions, and the gold panned from the rivers thinned out and disappeared. The trade in gold was replaced by a trade in slaves. Arabs regained the upper hand in Zanzibar and Kilwa, where the slave markets provided slaves for Arabia, Persia and India. The Portuguese were soon confined to a ***** presence in Mozambique.
Satisfied????

Thanks - to be honest, I'm glad I did the research. I didn't know that the Phoenicians apparently reached North America. I'm aware that the first Europeans to locate North America were the Vikings, who reached Newfoundland and called it Vinland.
She's hot.
Oh wise Hotrod ..bless us with some more of your wisened thoughts...
On a more serious note, it's great that I can finally learn about ancient history....I never thought it would happen here of all places.
BTW
Can someone start an argument about Algebra...I'm desperate for some revision on it. :hatsoff:
