America is a conglomeration of 50 states taking up half a continent (a whole if you consider Canada to be a vassal, which it is) and its political fingers in dozens of nations around the entire planet, it is absolutely an empire. But this is a world building thread and I'm just a retard with a smartphone, of course I'm going to over exaggerate for the sake of creation. Who's to say that we won't be remembered in those ancient terms? We've had the exact same brains for tens of thousands of years, take computers out of the equation (and books if we say hypothetically that we move past the need for them) and we're back to square one.

Of course that's not to say you're incorrect, even with the bronze age collapse we still continued lessons from one generation to the next and to think that we would revert back to hunter gatherers is a bit absurd. But that doesn't change the fact that history will still need to go through a game of telephone which will enevitably lead to exaggerated stories and myth making.
