Answer 3

The earliest recorded empires were founded in Mesopotamia region, probably as early as 2700 B.C. The first started near the delta that empties into the Persian Gulf. Elam which is in modern Iran was the earliest, but I don't believe it reached the zenith that the Akkadian Empire reached under Sargon, whose empire was based in Uruk. The Persian empire would have been the greatest had not Xerxes tried to conquer Greece, and was defeated at Thermopylae, yes defeated. He won a tactical victory, but it was a strategic blunder.

Answer 4

The oldest based on creation date I can find a listing for is the Elamite empire(circa 2700BC), such as the list copied from wikipedia above in their page on 'Empire'.

The oldest, as in longest lasting, would be the Mayan empire, which began around 1000BC and lasted until the very end of the 17th Century, a period of about 2700 years.

Answer 5

I'm gonna go with Persian on this one. The current empire that's still hanging around is the British empire, which, at one point amassed a huge, crapload of land, including parts of Africa, Asia, and yes, the U.S. colonies (but that changed during the American Revolution).

Answer 6

I'm going to guess Japan

I just read your additional details. I first thought you were asking who is the oldest empire that is still around. As for which empire that was formed first - it would be the empires in the Mesopotamian area.

Answer 7

not sure what the question means! The one that still has some influence in the modern world is the British, but it does not really exist any more. The longest lasting was probably the Roman.

Answer 8

British, because they still have Scotland as a once independent country under their rule, they own Wales, Northern Ireland, their queen rules Canada, and they have the commonwealth, a new and improved form of control over so called independent countries.
That's on to day empires, but roman, muslim, and mongol were longer lived.
