Rome - Originally prospered due to exploitation of position on the Tiber, stratified due to emperors/senators accumulating resources (local tribe), collapsed. Short term gain led to long-term downfall.
As before, we do the best we can, and I'm open to new evidence. Also, empires tend to exert the most change on their surrounding environment (as relates to the continued survival of the species), and as such, are likely our best understanding of what we have to look forward to.

History is written by empires to aggrandize themselves. Why would you trust it to tell you the importance of empire? Why would you trust assertions about the importance of human behavior before the invention of the contemporary sociological understanding at all?

I mean, sure, we can get into the whole discussion of "what is truth," but I'm comfortable in what I've studied compared to what has been unearthed compared to what other accounts of the time said, and none of it is dependent on a single account.
