Plus Aussies are all goodlooking intelligent and modest..

For me it would be a pacific tribe who knows how to live in Harmony with the Earth and who does not pursue constant self gratification at the expense of others or nature itself....

The Roman Empire! They ruled!!! Everything was amazing, from their culture, arquitecture, their war strategies, etc, there is so much history to read on that, it would take forever to describe.

I would go for Egypt as well. They were ahead of their time by centuries and still amaze people with their complexity and achievements
