^ Why do you bother citing scientific sources if you don't even believe in science? LOL Besides, discussions over the 'oldest' civilizations were had on this board all too many times. I suggest you look in the archives.

^ I suggest you look in the archives for your answers on which civilization is the oldest.
One problem is definition of civilization itself. There is the traditional definition of having cities in which the root word 'civil' denotes, and there is the more recent definition of any type of complex cultural activity regardless of building cities or not.

^^Do you have concrete data because the forums on here are mostly arguing and bickering and I don't want to read through all of that.

^ I don't have any personally at the moment. Again, there is plenty of information in the archives. Just type something up in the search engine. Not all threads have arguments but very important information.

I think the indians got little credit when it comes to their great civilizations, they afterall invented how to sophistically work with the iron metal and also the first people to know how to use "zero", the numerical system we still use todaż (1-9 and 0)which levantine muslims stole from indians and introduced to southern europeans is a direct copy from our southasian friends.
