I started writing about the mythological, physical, and historical realms because I was fascinated about them, but I ended up writing four articles since there were so many interesting things I discovered.

Even so, it was worthwhile because what I discovered was intriguing. If you’re interested in learning more about magical worlds, click here.

Back to historical realms,

A realm is a region or group of people that a sovereign governs.

The phrase is frequently used to denote a dynastic or monarchical polity.If a realm has a king, it can also be a division of an empire there were so many great realms in history, few of them are;

1. The Roman Empire:

Augustus: The founder of Roman empire

From 27 BC to 476 AD, the Roman Empire was one of the most important and potent nations in antiquity. It began in the Italian city of Rome and spread through military victories, diplomatic relations, and political fusion.

At its height, the empire included a sizable portion of the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe. The technical prowess of the Roman Empire, which built aqueducts, highways, and iconic buildings like the Colosseum, was legendary. It also featured a complicated system of government and management, including a system of power sharing between the Senate and the Emperor.

Throughout its existence, the empire encountered difficulties including as clashes with rival civilizations, internal power disputes, and economic problems. It eventually went into decline in the third century AD, which resulted in the separation of the empire into the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire) and the Western Roman Empire. Due to a number of causes, including outside invasions, economic instability, and political fragmentation, the Western Roman Empire was destroyed in 476 AD.

2. The Mongol Empire:

One of the most continuous land empires in history, the Mongol Empire was formed by Genghis Khan in 1206. It covered a large portion of Asia, including the modern-day nations of Mongolia, China, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe.

Due to their mastery in horseback combat and superior military tactics, the Mongol Empire was notorious for its fast and deadly military conquests.

By building the Silk Road, a network of commercial routes that connected various parts of Asia and promoted cross-cultural interaction, they built the biggest land empire ever seen. The Mongols, despite their intimidating reputation, also practiced religious tolerance, respected regional cultures, and adopted management techniques from the civilizations they overthrew.

They helped knowledge, technology, and cultural advancements spread throughout the empire. Following Genghis Khan’s passing in 1227, the empire was beset with difficulties such as succession conflicts and the final breakup of the empire into four khanates.

Internal strife, economic problems, and the incorporation of conquered lands into their various areas all contributed to the decline of the Mongol Empire over time. The Mongol Empire ceased to exist as a single entity by the 14th century.

3:Inca Empire:

The Inca Empire, which was based in the Andes Mountains of South America, flourished from the 15th to the 16th century.

The Incas built a highly centralized and advanced civilisation, known as the Inca Empire. They are well known for their incredible technological achievements, which include the intricate stonework of Machu Picchu and vast road networks.

Their use of agricultural techniques like terracing challenging steep terrain allowed them to thrive. You can learn more through this video about Incas.

4:EGYPTIAN Empire:

4. The Egyptian Empire: One of the first known centers of civilization, ancient Egypt ruled for magnificently long periods of time.

The pharaohs presided over a civilization that built enormous structures like the pyramids and temples and made significant advancements in arithmetic, medicine, and writing.

The mystique surrounding the construction techniques, cultural practices, and religious practices of the Egyptians continues to fascinate academics and archaeologists.

Go through this video for discovering fascinating things about Egypt.

5:BAZENTINE :

The Eastern Roman Empire gave rise to the Byzantine Empire, which ruled for more than a thousand years.



It served as a bridge between ancient and medieval cultures and was essential in maintaining and transmitting Greek and Roman culture.

The imperial capital, Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), was a wonderful metropolis with exquisite art and aspirations of knowledge.

As Renaissance scholars sought their assistance in interpreting Greek pagan and Christian works, Byzantine scholars would have a significant impact on Western intellectual tradition. (This practice would go on after 1453, when many of these academics emigrated to Italy from the besieged city of Constantinople.)
