Which Ancient civilazation would you prefer to live under?

[Aemilius Paulus]

Egypt under indigenous rule was supposedly quite a decent part of the ancient world to be a woman, at least compared to the alternatives. At least you could own property in your own right, divorce, etc.

Nah, read about the Minoans and Therans (the real Atlanteans as a matter of fact). Women could actually vote, and were considered completely equal to men. They even drove chariots themselves! Now that is equality!! Egypt was nothing in comparison, although women were relatively privileged there. Not only this, but the Therans were the most advanced civilization until arguably the Medieval Islamic civilization, which finally surpassed them. The Therans even had running water and self-flushing toilets.
