The oldest civilization in the World is the one that started in the Middle Eastern cultural hearth and then spread west to Europe, Greece, Rome, England, America. And now it is the dominant global culture. That's the facts. China also got a fairly early start (but later) had many great developments and may have been more technologically advanced than Europe in some areas at times but it ultimately succumbed to the West. First Japan (in the mid 19th century) and now China set out to copy the Western success story. Personally, my ancestors say 2000 years ago were probably mostly in Israel, Germany, and Ireland. Even the Celtic cultures in places like Ireland weren't that primitive at that point. They had by that point absorbed all the Middle Eastern advances in agriculture, metal working etc and were engaged with trade with the European/Mediterranean world. They didn't have writing or centralized urban cultures. But they weren't exactly in the trees or stone age. And not 1000 years before that either. David
