>The World’s Oldest Civilization
You might note I used the word continuous. The first civilization we know of is Sumer, thought there are indications of an earlier civilization in Asia Minor that didn’t leave written records.
However all those civilizations are dead and gone. Replaced by other peoples. China is the only continuous civilization in recorded history. Even Egypt stopped being Egyptian under Islam by the 10th century. The History of Indian civilization doesn’t start until the Aryan invasion which which was after China was established.
Where did THOSE folks come from?
