What? No gladiators, ninjas, pirates, knights, wizards, samurai, cyborgs, zombies, space cadets, or cowboys? This poll blows.

Being from the North, Vikings I'd say. In my opinion they're much more interesting than all those others.

It's a tough call: Egyptians have a better setting, what with the curses, traps, pyramids, mummies, and superstition... but Vikings have better personalities, what with their raping and pillaging.

I voted Egyptian, because when I think of Egypt I think of the Lost Vikings levels, and that makes me happy. :)

That's true. How think you out this? :)
Anyway, my answer is: Vikings. I agree that Egyptians are more more older and wiser culture and nation, but Vikings are to me closer. Their fearless hearts and might is great and I personally like their religion - myths and heroic sagas. Etc ;-)

Well I expected more of a Greeks vs Egyptians, but I'll go along with it.

I think the last poll option could have been done without...you want people to vote on your poll, not just cop out with the "neither" option, if they want neither Vikings or Egyptians they don't have to vote, lol. :)

It's a tough call for me, I like alot more of the Viking sagas and stories better, though I think nowadays fantasy is over-saturated with Norse influences it has gotten boring. Yet on the other hand you have so many "adventure" games and movies go full blown with the Egyptians they've gotten a little boring as well.

But Egyptians still seem new and fresh to me, so I'd say the Land of Pharaohs, though I do really dig the heroism and heart of the viking culture.
