Alexander The Great's Empire
Genghis Kahn's Empire
However much I hate to admit it -- the Mongol Hoarde is unstoppable to any other army to have been fielded in the age of steel and arrow; the Mongols would never be encircled, the phalangites would be massacred because of their lack of large shield due to the weight of that and the longer sarrissa, and Alexander's bows were of poorer quality and doubtless far fewer in number.
No empire in history has risen up so fierce so quick as that of the Mongols. In less than 80 years, a band of warriors originally comprised of several men grew to an empire that encompassed half of the known world. Definitely the greatest and most dramatic conquest in history.
