Guess how long those civilizations lasted. 3000 years yes, but they eventually collapsed. Rome collapsed in part because of lead poisoning.

Rome fell because 1) it overstretched itself, putting undue stress on its populace, its military and its resources, and 2) because of rampant governmental corruption.

And of COURSE you don't see any "Ancient Civilizations" around today. ALL civilizations/cultures rise and then fall. But there's a lot of continuity as well; the Classical World continues to have a massive effect on our modern Western world.

Also Rome didn't last 3000 years. **history lesson concluded**
