Answer 2

We honestly, seriously, don't know. People have lived all over the globe for a long, long time and as we dig through the earth's surface for all kinds of reasons from seriously looking for evidence of ancient inhabitants to plowing farmland or making new roads or buildings (many of the recent "finds" in the news have been from just these activities). Whether bodies or clothing or documents, most such things deteriorate over time and literally turn to dust.

There are ancient human remains in the Americas that date some 10-12,000 years. Asia has oodles from China to the Near East. Egypt and Sumer (current-day Iraq) are two of the big 'oldies'. Who is the actual oldest, though? We really don't know and the guesses are very broad. There are roads that lead out of Malta that are ancient and go into the Mediteranean Sea, who made them, when, and where do they lead? Not a clue. There are remains in southern Peru that have folks simply shaking their heads. A couple of years ago a stepped pyramid was discovered in the ocean off of Japan. Who made them and when? No ideas.

Humanity is old, and ancient people sometimes left evidence that they were no fools. So be prepared for some amazing things when searching the ancient records and artifacts, okay?

The most ancient civilization that we know about was located in Mesptomia(modern Iraq). The town of UR ANIL was dated to about 5,500 B.C. Most of the other cities, UR, ERIK, KISH, LAGISH, LARSA and BABYLONG came about between 4,000 to 3,000 B.C. It was around 3,000 B.C. when the Summerians came down from the north and developed their civilization.
Also JERICO which is on the river Jordan is dated around 5,000 B.C. The civilizations of MOHENJODARO and HARAPPA in the indus valley were around 3,OOO B.C. and did some trade with Mesptomia. Especially in Lapis Lazuli a semi precious stone.
The Egyptain civilzation started around 4,000 B.C. with the first dyansty under MENES(NARMER) around 3,200 B.C. And the Chinese civilzation began around 2,500 B.C. with the Golden Kings. Their first official dynasty the HSAI beginning in 2121 B.C.
There was a civilization in Asia Minor(Turkey) called CATAL HYAK which was a city of houses joined together with courtyards in between. This was approximately 2000 B.C.
Most of the known civilzations originated from 7,000 to 6,000 years ago with the earliest and from 5,000 to 4,000 years ago with the later ones. Althought there is a theory based upon an Egyptain legend that around 7,000 B.C. people tried to grow corn(wheat) in the nile valley. They failed but returned again about two millenia later. The most ancient civilizations were located in asia and noth east africa. Hope this helps a bit.
