Using a character from Egypt I would think that we'd have the advantage in the curses category right? We the people of the great ancient land are known for taking curse breaking up as an occupation, in order to break a curse you'd have to know how to cast it correct? 

I would guess we'd be the top tier at deciphering prophecies also. Due to possible run-ins with the sphinx (problem solving and theory skills) and immeasurable catalag of magical text and scrolls (vast access to lost and historical knowledge) in the library of Alexandria, applying all aspects together we'd be a pretty threatening community. Comparing intellect I would think South India would top us though.
