I honestly didnt mean that in an insulting way. I meant that both the Incas and Babylon had a similar ability to govern wide amounts of territory with bronze-age tools
Oh no I'm not insulted I just disagree. But alright, if we're going by sheer size and ability to rule and govern then the Neo-Babylonian Empire, the largest of the Babylons, was Iron Age (around 630 BCE to 530 BCE) and had somewhere about this size:
And the Inka on the other hand were "Bronze Age" and in far more rugged terrain across far more latitudes and about this size:
Which is
much bigger and
much more populous.
This is nothing against you of course, it just really annoys me when people try and compare the Old World Civilizations of the Bronze Age to the New World Civilizations that also used Bronze a lot. Personally I'd say even the Mesoamerican civilizations, which were not too big on metal working even compared to the Andeans, were more advanced than the Middle East in the 600s BCE.
EDIT: Just did some estimating on Google Earth and the Inka was somewhere from 3 to 4 time bigger than the largest potential borders of the largest Babylonian Empire.
