I personally like the history of the world from the start of the early civilizations in mesopotamia, the Indus, and the Nile all the way to the end of WWII. I'm just not interested in the post-war world.
 
World War II

The darkest and brightest period in our history, but civilization had its chance to shine.

It is the last time I can remember human kind coming together to confront a great evil and do work for the common good of all mankind.
 
now what do you mean by "greatest"?
 
The greatest age pre WW II, Early Tang dynasty in China from Emperor Tang Taizong to the Yang Guifei times.... After that down the drain... :(

But actually, ...I like the age that we're living now. In those ancient ages, we cannot play Civ III.... :D Relish our time now! Microwave oven, VCR, DVD, air condition, the internet, and Civ I, II, III, C3C, the future Civ IV.... :D
 
The 3 kingdoms age can be exciting if we look at it 1800 years after it happened. But if you're a civilian during that age... a lot of sufferings... :( Talk about war weariness... 60 damn years of continuous war within your own borders!
 
Rise of Islam (631-732) was the greatest for my people!
 
Soundbite from Discovery: "The Golden Age of science is NOW"

In a way, we are living the greatest of all times.
 
I personally like the age of Colonisam and Imperisam. This age give brith to modern democracy and started the scientific age we are in now.
 
well... as far as living in, I like the modern era :cool:

as far as interestin, whill...then entire history of near eastern, African, European, and in paticuler meditteranean history up to about the crusades is interesting for me ;)
 
Anything from the end of WWI interests me the most, and I tend to like anything from 1800 to 1918 quite a bit too :)
