According to Christians - are all the souls alive before Christ or who lived in a country other then the middle east back then, or the really ancient cultures - are they all in hell?

Mayans, Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Native American Indians, Hindu, Ancient Chinese, are all these souls still trapped in hell according to your beliefs?

Not necessarily.

According to the Roman Catholic Church, these people, along with unbaptized babies are NOT in hell. Their fate is dependent upon the mercy of God.

What we teach is that if you are made aware of Christ and reject him, you are takeing grave risks with your immortal Soul.

Now, many other Christian denomination take a more strict approach to our non-christian brothers and sisters. We'll find out when we face our creator.

I suspect that those who believe that there is only one way of contact with the infinite are attempting to limit the power of God.

Don't make them start in with talk of "Dispensations," or some other dogma equally loathsome and revolting to sound minds. Suffice it to say that they've thought of a disingenuous answer to everything; but you have to already be an irredeemable idiot to buy any of it.

they didn't know Christ and never heard of him the Catechism of the Catholic Church states that for people to be condemned to hell is for them to hear of Christ or God and reject him

There isn't a hell, unless you mean metaphorically, like the inability to love.
