Missing Civilizations

Turkish is not an ethnic civilization, but rather a melting pot of cultures, and we Turks consider all of those to be part of our greater culture and civilization. It does not matter wether if their mother language is Armenian or Greek, as long as they lived together with us, shared the same fate with us, felt the same emotions as us and contributed to us.

I'd be careful saying that too loud with greeks around :D but of course you are right in so far as that the cultural ties (and certain mixing over 400 years) makes the modern Greeks (though they are not ethnic Turkic peoples per se; and to a lesser extend, Armenians) more turkish that would be safe suggesting in their presence ;).

Edit: As far a civilizations are concerned, there are several Turkic civilizations through history, and some existed next to one another.
 
"I'd be careful saying that too loud with greeks around"
and Armenians... But I do not think that todays Armenians are Turkish at all culturally as well as ethnically, not that I have anything against being Turkish, it is just my opinion. Anyway, has an Armenian civ been posted, I would like to see one, as I am Armenian.

Well here is a start for Polynesia - pardon any inaccuracies - I am very much an amatuer historian who is just develing into the Polynesian culture (I am not a naitve in any way shape or form) and this list is just meant as a starting point. It is as of now mainly an amalgamam of Maori and Hawaiin influences; however the area is rich wiht many other Island cultures so any other candidates are welcome.

I think the idea of Polynesian Civ is great but I think you should have the Samoan War Canoe rather than the Maori. Only cos Samoa was originally know by westerners as the Navigator Islands because they were such good seafarers.
