Not actually true

Muh professional army, muh siege equipment

That’s true though.

maybe bizantines if we dont count them as romans they stop the sasanids and the arabs in the worst conditions imaginable ,they resist more or less the turks and the mongols until the last day in costantinople

I have never seen a person talk positively about HRE

maybe Austria and Charlemagne if he counts but HRE is just a meme empire

has to be bait. how is axum and kush overrated? did you not see the new superhero movie, The Black Panther?

Spare me your amerinigger capeshit crap.
I am talking about real historiography.

If anything, the fact that everybody knows "Wakanda" but nobody knows Kush or Axum proves my point.

I love the HRE

VOltaire posters need to die in a fire
It's the wests worst fault letting it fall to the Mohammadeans

Overrated
>Hunnic
>Byzantine
>Aztec

Underrated
>Assyrian

>Melayu Kingdom
this might even not be a real kingdom because how vague this term is, the srivijayan empire next tot hem was more relevant by their construction of great wonder such as borobudur and prambanan, their naval prowess allowing colonisation of madagascar, their position as important trade center controlling the malay strait and their conquest of south vietnam (champa)

whats this?

Did I do it right?

The old Hungarian Kingdom is severely underrated. It is never discussed or if it is, it is never without ridiculous levels of analmangledness.

bait

More like 100. England pre-Congress of Vienna was average European Empire and Post ww2 was a joke. Commonwealth is a meme. 1812-1920 is about what the actual British "Empire" would be in regards to the laymans definition.

Inca is ridiculously overrated. The civilizations before them that they wiped out were centuries ahead of them in technology. All the farming and building techniques normies attribute to inca were taken from the people they wiped out. If inca never existed at all south america might have been on par with europe.

If I'm 30 and my son is 10, and we have the same name, it doesn't mean we are 40

Underrated
>Portuguese Empire

no, popular empire 3 contributed to our understanding stuff that was important and had great success at military campaigns that shaped regional history for centuries so fuck off

Japanese Empire
Is it possible to underrate something so useless?

This. The Sovs had quite an empire, more than anybody over the last 2 centuries other than the USA.

>arabs in any of those places at any of those times
I know you're meme'ing but still.

They held NEI and French Indochina for 3 years, that's pretty elite.

>peace
>clearly hungry seagull on the lookout for more clay

The most Underrated Empire is:
>Safavids

They were the first people to defeat the Ottomans.

Their architecture is amazing.

They literally created a Shia identity for themselves and brought back the Persian culture and name from the deaded. They called their empire Iran. Iran was the ancient name of the Persian empire.
