The Romans are my favorite. Their technological, architectural, and logistical prowess still challenges what we do today.
However, there are so many structures and cities that we have found over the last few decades that our conventional timeline of human development cannot explain. I would love to find out more about the people who built Poverty Point, Gobleki Tepe, Byblos, the Bosnian Pyramids, Puma Punku, ect

I would say whatever mine is but my multi-ethnic arse identifies where I'm from not where my ancestors are from.

The ROMAN achievements have not been reached yet, they were the greatest for the longest, hail Rome!

I'm partial to the Tarahumara, a native tribe of reclusive super runners that still live in the deserts of Northwestern Mexico.

Romans, they had so many advancements and they advanced civilization so far and fast. My favorite part of their history is reading about the military conquests and defeats. While made for TV the new History channel show 'Barbarians Rising' has done a great job of presenting some Barbarians who won major battles against Rome.
The Chinese are another I just started studying. There is so much and they were great at recording history so you can go so far back. There were so many dynasties and kingdoms it's amazing to follow them all. Then the conquests of the Mongolian hoardes were very swift and well recorded in history. While not the greatest civilization, they let you believe in any God and live how you wanted as long as you paid taxes and swore fealty to the Khan. (those who opposed where wiped out, entire cities were razed and the fields salted after defying the Khans)

Anybody said Branch Davidian yet? I couldn't get enough of David Koresh and his people.

The Phoenicians. Developed the alphabet and mastered trade. A great people that was the first to unite the world through peaceful trade rather than war. While many may not agree with democracy, our society at large is based on the Phoenicians that were able to show this.

The Mayans. Lived for thousands of years in South America, built thousands of precisely engineered cities, temples, and observatories, conquered massive amounts of territory, traded all the way up to North America, had an elaborate government consisting of city-states, developed reading/writing, astronomy, mathematics, etc.
And then, one day- they up and left every bit of it behind, moved to the Yucatan peninsula in southern Mexico, and started rebuilding from scratch. Why? No one knows.
The only way we would know is from their manuscripts, which were almost entirely destroyed by the Spanish priests (heathen teachings). Because of the Spanish we lost history that dates back for many millenia.
