I don't think Samarai are part of "antiquity." I may be wrong. Aren't they relatively recent?

I'm sorry-- I guess "a long time ago" doesn't count if you're in "a galaxy far far away."

Sure they're from antiquity.

I am glad to see that the two without votes thus far are the ancestral French and the Persians. Right on.

Some historians believe the Franks saved Europe from becoming an Islamic state. Charlemagne was certainly one of the most important people who ever lived. He was illiterate but threw his might and wealth behind propagating the copying and preserving of ancient texts later brought forth in the latter days, helping to restore enlighightenment. His grandfather Charles Martel's victory that turned the Muslims back at Tours has been called one of the 20 most important military victories in the history of the world.

All those votes for the last two choices make me want to pull an Outlier.
