Minoru SabaWas wondering about the duration of empires as USA appears to be sunsetting.
Knew that the western part of the Roman Empire had collapsed after about 5 centuries, but hadn't realised that the eastern part had lingered for another thousand years.
Didn't know about the long-lived Kanem–Bornu Empire (c. 700 - 1893) or the Kingdom of Kush (780 BC - 1130).
Perhaps USA, too, will be forgotten in the mists of time🤔
