Rome stole from Greece when it came to culture, architecture, and even land.
The Norse evolved from the barbarians who sapped away at Rome. Rome stole from Greece when it came to culture, architecture, and even land. Greece, of course, stole from Egypt, which has been a continually habitable nation for nearly six thousand years. While each of these peoples has drawn inspiration from others, only Egypt stands by itself - it is the foundation that holds up all Western civilization.
