For over 3,000 years Egypt was ruled by Pharaohs. But in that last sweep of time, one pharaoh stands out. He would reign for 67 years, command the largest empire on earth and capture the imagination of the world. His name was Ramesses (or Rameses). This documentary, which explores the importance of the pyramids to the Egyptian civilization, is suitable for middle school and high school grades.

Genghis Khan was made ruler of all Mongols in 1206, and it was at this point the empire began its rise to power. Their story is often described as violent, as the Mongols overpowered and outwitted their enemies. Within one century, the Mongols had become one of history’s greatest empires and at its peak, controlled roughly 22 per cent of the world’s total land area. As with most world powers, the empire eventually crumbled, but the lasting consequences of this empire’s impact can still be seen today. In this video, WatchMojo.com explores the rise, dominance, and fall of this one-time world empire. (2:50)

The term empire might not technically be an accurate way of describing the United States of America. Because the goal of U.S. foreign policy is to protect the country’s own interests and territory, it is by definition not an empire. However, the United States’ influence of the rest of the world is still undeniable. Throughout the twentieth century, the country dominated the music, film and financial worlds, while also making headway in both the science and technology milieus. In this video, WatchMojo.com explores the rise and dominance of this world power. (3:22)

Shortly after the union of Castile and Aragon created Spain, this fledgling country began exploring overseas in an effort to expand its territory. Christopher Columbus’ voyage across the Atlantic in 1492 helped Spain establish itself as one of the world’s largest ever empires. Columbus had accidentally discovered the Americas while trying to reach Asia, and colonization of the area began not long after. This expansion continued until its peak of power in the seventeenth century, after which various wars caused this kingdom to crumble. In this video, WatchMojo.com explores the rise, dominance, and fall of this one-time world empire. (2:33)

On this day in 1931, President Herbert Hoover officially dedicates New York City's Empire State Building, pressing a button from the White House that turns on the building's lights. Hoover's gesture, of course, was symbolic; while the president remained in Washington, D.C., someone else flicked the switches in New York. (01:00)

Another close-up look at the process of archaeological discovery - at Ribchester, Lancashire, a site which, for the first 100 years of Roman rule in Britain, was part of the northern frontier, an inhospitable location where all that separated the invaders from the hostile tribesmen were ditches and forts. Working against the clock, the Time Team reveal by excavation a unique piece of military engineering that holds the key to just how the Roman army survived - around AD100 - in this remote outpost of the Empire.
