1500 BC.... makes me think of the Hittites & the Babylonians. Syrians, Canaanites, Aegeans... (Aegeans would include Greeks) Egypt & China are pretty safe bets for being around. lol

With the making up your own civilization thing, it may be tough to come up with one, but think of it this way - if you made it up, then whatever you say goes. If you use one of the existing civs, it's really hard to "get it right" & not have someone always telling you that's not how it was, or that's not accurate.
