Actually, most great civilizations on Earth have survived minimum of 600 years. The Romans were among the civilizations having lasted the longest.
But the two remaining civilizations still present on this planet, are the Chinese and the Ethiopians kingdom(yeah, I know you can`t believe Ethiopia has over 3000 years of history and fall only in 1960`s... They were there even before Solomon...)
The Chinese still survived with their original culture for over 5000 years now, and there is no signs that they will collapse anythime soon!
As for the other empires and cultures that have shapes this world you have:
Carthagenans, Egyptians, Greeks, Persian, Mongolian, Celtic, Byzance (newer Roman empire), Ottoman and many smaller ones (Mayans, Aztecs, Olmeques, ect...)
For the answer below me: research Dadiwan Qi`nan neolitic culture, loess plateau... Those were definitly Chinese, and definitly old!! You just got outdated facts... This discovery has been done in the year 2004... As for Solomon, I guess we may not know about him directly but we know about his wife... The queen of Sheba (Ethiopia), and no she was not only a Bible name. Just pay a visit to the Axoum church in Ethiopia, and you will get the proofs your looking for!!
(always bother me peoples that never travel around the world, and think they know everything because they went to school... Funny, but annoyed).

The ancient, non-homosapien culture of neanderthals is still on the rise and is the most ancient. Current studies regarding the human genome point to the fact that caucasians have some neanderthal genes mixed up and no other race has this

They (anthropologists) just found an ancient Greek site in the Southern Empire of Bulgaria that has a base in Greece, it dates to 4500 B.C. That would be old because the Greeks are still here.
Solomon was never proven to be a true person only myth, until proven we cannot count on him.
The Chinese like to brag they go back before 4000BC but ancient skeletons dating to forty-five hundred B.C. 4500 B.C. have been pr oven to be Caucasian, in the Mongolian area of Western China, they have found whole grave sites but, have no idea who there are.
