Unimpressive.

1)You have ignored the fundamentals of Precis Writing.
2)Why have you mentioned all the names-Egypt,Babylon,Persia,ets-you can use just "super powers" instead.
3)Grammar mistakes are there,like was is used where were is required ets.
4)Sentences are broken.(almost 8 sentences you have composed while it could be just in 3 sentences)
5)Dearth of coherence and smooth flow.

Look at the following:
The spirit of freedom made Greeks a highly civilized nation in ancient times in which material power was considered to be the guage of strength.They defeated super powers of the time and proved that free men were fully potent.The force of mind and body of the free people allowed them to dominate rest of the world.

Stay blessed.
