    Yea some of these are pretty cherry picked.

    I mean “the Roman Empire” in the loosest term, from the beginning of Rome’s expansion out of Italy, to the fall of Constantinople in the east, was over 1700 years.

    And the Ottoman Empire was still very much alive and threatening Europe into the 18th century before they began their terminal decline.
