"Most influential civilization of the past" poll

Most influential civilization of the past...

Far East...1
Egyptian...3
Greek...2
Middle East...2
Roman...2

Well, this is totally bizarre for I never expected that Egyptian would be number one. I really cannot see this for such a static civilization except for one historical anomaly: The reign of the monotheistic King Amenhotep IV [Akhenaten]...and of course "mummy" films.
