The Mongol Empire wasn't ancient.
Nope, at least not by his definition. It was still around after the Dark Ages. I would have thought Egyptian or Persian or Roman.

Where were the persians from? Were they considered to be Greek?
Thought I'd answer this little question for you if you already didn't know it.
Persians came from an area called (Fars or Pars in modern Iran) and like the Romans, expanded their power to encompess their empire.
Persians were not Greek but were of the same peoples called Indo-Europeans, different from Arabs and Hebrews who are Semitic peoples.

I just found out a few days ago my...uh...Great grandfather was from that area. He wasn't sure what country he was born in though.
Wasn't really any borders, or they moved a lot. He was in an area with a lot of "Ethnic Cleansing" and I am not too sure which side of it he was on... He was only like 10 when he came to Canada. I think he was that young.

Ethnic Cleansing? Maybe he's from Serbia or something.

This is a trick question. It even escaped me at first. 
Tricks, Ancient as in pre Dark Ages/During Dark Ages; otherwise, it'd be the British Empire hands down...

Oh no. The British Empire was still smaller than the one the Mongolians had about 800 years ago.
