OP definitely could have used the Inca empire. Its size far surpassed that of any bronze age state in the Old world.

    It was also the largest empire by continuous latitude coverage

    Aren't they one of only two empires that was formed into a narrow line north to south? I'm not saying they aren't impressive, just that they were only competing with Egypt there.

    I did this in True Size Of:

    I didn't include a few northern regions for New Kingdom Egypt, because they were a pain to move with my phone, but I also included all of Egypt which covers a lot of desertic area that probably wasn't under any strong state control.

    Couldn't find La Paz in Bolivia with the website.

    But it should give a pretty good idea.

    EDIT:

    Ok even better:
