| Fascinating that the USA, which has existed for about 4% of recorded human history, beats Egypt and Iraq, where human civilization started. Also somewhat strange that the Netherlands and Portugal, both of which were massive powers in the age of exploration, are left out. The neglecting of Saudi Arabia and India is similarly bizarre - between them the second, third, and fourth largest religions in the world were started there. Israel might want to get some credit for being where the largest in the world started. |
