Yes I agree with this view. However not all the figures in the Roman, Umayad or even the Ottoman Caliphate were great, when speaking for Empires it’s often a few who gain from others laurels Washington was a bad example as he was not as important as he is made out to be since much of what America is today would be utterly different to what Washington stood for… Empires change with time but proving one figure was instrumental to an Empire is difficuilt indeed.

However, I’m not saying that everyone in those nations was great. I mean that their founders were great because they were able to both master both sword (to forge their nation) and pen (to create it in a way that endures and met the challenge of the future for centuries.

Genghiz Khan made the biggest empire in history, but it was completely hollow at its core and collapsed on his death. By contrast, Washingston created the nation that he wanted, but in a way that enabled it to change as it desired without falling apart.
