The Ming Dynasty

The Ming Dynasty existed back in the mid-1400s and ruled through more than 2.51 million square miles. It ran successfully for a while before it was struck with natural disasters and bad economic stability. This is common among a lot of empires, but the downward trend didn’t help the situation.
The Ming Dynasty is popular in terms of its cultural influence in art and literature and known for its connection with the Western world.

The Sasanian Empire

The Sasanian Empire stretched across an average of 2.55 million square miles and was the last Iranian empire to exist before Islam’s establishment. The Islamic Caliphate is said to have been the driving force for the demolition of the historical empire.
There were many water bodies in the Sasanian Empire, which gave them the edge in being deemed rulers of both land and water.
