No, I'd say it's right on track, i.e. Geography. Over the last few posts, we've mentioned cliffs and hills. angel

BC = Before Christ?

Largest empire before Christ? Has to be Chinese. No?

It depends on whether he is talking about population, total land area, or something else. He needs to elaborate on the question before anyone can answer.

Ok, largest empire by land area.

What was the largest empire in the era before Christ by land area?

Oh and all answers have been wrong so far. Chinese was closest though. Greeks and byzantines controlled comparatively small areas but ruled many cities or in Grece's case, city states. The Aztecs actually had the most strucured empire for about 1100 years until the Spanish came in. The Romans while most civilized and conquered many lands could be fitted at least twice into this empire. Ive never heard of the Toltecs. The Persians while controlling a vast land area, was probably non-existen as an empire around this time period.

Sorry about the misunderstanding guys.
Suck it.

I'm calling bull****.

Some people think the Macedonian Empire was that big, but in reality it wasn't any bigger than the Persian Empire, though it was bigger than the Roman empire (prior to the birth of Christ)

Do yall just want the answer? Because this is taking awhile. The Empire is still bigger than the Persians, the Macedonians, or the Romans (not put together).

Do yall want even a hint, Im suprised yall havent used up everything but it yet. Remember when I said, Chinese was closest. I didnt mean in size.

... some sort of Indian Empire? Uhhh... that's all I can think of, unless you're talking about the Mongolians, but I can't think of them having an extensive Empire until Khan. Hmmm...

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Genghis Khan's vast Mongolian empire stretching from the Koreas to somewhere in the area of Greece and eastern europe. Controlled many trade routes, helped those who were selling goods on those routes and has the claim of the Largest Empire by land area known to man. Also, invaded China at least twice and even took some of the Chinese empire for himself.

Ask your question now Perfectism.

This is a human geography question. (one of the best courses that I've taken).

What is the process of attracting young professionals back into the city?

Note: this is not Urban renewal but can be related to it.
