Skyscrapers, popping up in new urban areas, have dramatically changed the cityscape and have formed a modern skyline outside the old city. In 2015, Hanoi is ranked # 39 by Emporis in the list of world cities with most skyscrapers over 100 m; its two tallest buildings are Hanoi Landmark 72 Tower (336 m, second tallest in Vietnam after Ho Chi Minh City's Landmark 81 and third tallest in south-east Asia after Malaysia's Petronas Twin Towers) and Hanoi Lotte Center (272 m, also, third tallest in Vietnam). <SEP> At its greatest extent, the Achaemenid Empire included the modern territories of Iran, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, much of the Black Sea coastal regions, northeastern Greece and southern Bulgaria (Thrace), northern Greece and Macedonia (Paeonia and Ancient Macedon), Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, all significant ancient population centers of ancient Egypt as far west as Libya, Kuwait, northern Saudi Arabia, parts of the UAE and Oman, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and much of Central Asia, making it the first world government and the largest empire the world had yet seen. <SEP> the first european to colonize what is now the federative republic of brazil on the continent of south america was pedro álvares cabral (c. 1467 / 1468 - c. 1520) on april 22, 1500 under the sponsorship of the kingdom of portugal. from the 16th to the early 19th century, brazil was a colony and a part of the portuguese empire. the country expanded south along the coast and west along the amazon and other inland rivers from the original 15 donatary captaincy colonies established on the northeast atlantic coast east of the tordesillas line of 1494 (approximately the 46th meridian west) that divided the portuguese domain to the east from the spanish domain to the west. the country's borders were only finalized in the early 20th century. <SEP> the first geographical entity that was called armenia by neighboring peoples (such as by hecataeus of miletus and on the achaemenid behistun inscription) was established in the late 6th century bc under the orontid dynasty within the achaemenid persian empire as part of the latters' territories, and which later became a kingdom. at its zenith (95–65 bc), the state extended from the caucasus all the way to what is now central turkey, lebanon, and northern iran. the imperial reign of tigranes the great is thus the span of time during which armenia itself conquered areas populated by other peoples.
