The Minoans, whom many consider the first European civilisation, flourished on the islands of the Aegean in the third and second millennia BCE before eventually disappearing around 1100 BC.

The Khmer Empire, founded at the beginning of the ninth century CE, was one of the most powerful states in Southeast Asia, covering much of Cambodia, Thailand, Laos and Southern Vietnam.

Hundreds of years ago, sea-faring people called the Rapa Nui flourished on Easter Island, a small island at the easternmost edge of the Polynesian Islands.
