Oldest countries in the world- Representational AI image Oldest countries in the world: You must have heard about the historical fact that the Indus Valley Civilization is one of the oldest civilisations of the world but do you know the countries which are known to be the oldest countries in the world? When we talk of the oldest countries in the world, we are not only talking about the modern nation-states, but the ancient civilizations and cultures that have maintained continuous identity, a governance, or traditions over time. The list of the countries that include the list include Iran and India. Here are the list of countries which are known to be the oldest countries in the world. 1. Iran, 2600 BC (Persia) The Persian empire, once home to powerful civilizations – Elamites, Kassites, Mannaeans, Gutians – Iran is considered one of the world's first nations. Consisting of Zoroastrianism with rich poetic and philosophical legacy, Persia forms one of the oldest countries in the world. 2. India, 2500 BC As mentioned in the beginning, the Indus Valley Civilisation is one of the oldest civilisations. The civilisation emerged around 2600-1900 BC whose reins can still be still in Mohenjo-daro and Harappa. 3. China, 1600 BC Known by the name of People's Republic of China and the Republic of China, the country traces its civilizational roots to the Xia Dynasty around 2070 BCE, evolving through successive dynasties like the Shang and Zhou. 4. Japan (660 BC): Japan's imperial lineage is traditionally believed to have begun in 660 BC with the ascension of Emperor Jimmu, who is said to be a direct descendant of the sun goddess Amaterasu. 5. Algeria (202 BC): Algeria's roots as a sovereign entity can be traced back to the founding of the Numidia Empire by King Masinissa in 202 BC. However, human habitation in the region dates back much further—ancient rock art and archaeological evidence from Tassili National Park suggest continuous human presence since as early as 7000 BC.
