Some of the oldest traces of civilization came from China. I have never heard this saying but it is a good one.

Chinese culture,which had already existed even before Jesus was born, dates back to 5000 years ago. What's more, until 1800s, China was the most civilized and prosperous country in the world . However, it all ends right now. Even Chinese themselves do not see their achieving past intriguing anymore, they are too busy adoping the materalism from the west.

China has a 5,000 year history.
I do not believe any other country or culture holds that distinction.
