Many other empires, families, and civilizations have risen and fallen over that same period of time...their "momentum" was only temporary and did not carry them forward.

They have some kind of built-in will or drive which propels them forward. It seems to give them a more intense presence, stronger opinions, and it appears for many a predatory contempt for those who do not have these same impulses. That's my theory. I don't want to speculate at this moment what the cause of these traits would be.
That's a thoughtful response. Would these traits be consistent with those of a "chosen people"?
