In today's world, there are 230 countries and regions, and this number is still growing. The largest country is Russia, the smallest country is Vatican, and the youngest country is South Sudan. So who is the oldest country and the country with the longest founding time?

As we all know, there are four ancient civilizations in the world, namely, ancient China, ancient India, ancient Egypt and ancient Babylon. Unfortunately, ancient Babylon, which originated in the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, has perished and disappeared without a trace. In ancient India, for historical reasons, the sites that originated in the Indus Valley no longer belong to India, but in Pakistan, this India is no longer India.

The four ancient civilizations are left with ancient China, which originated in the Yellow River valley, and ancient Egypt, which originated in the Nile valley. Of course, in addition to the four ancient civilizations, there are ancient civilizations such as ancient Greece, ancient Maya and ancient Rome, but they are all a little late.

Egypt can be traced back to more than 4,000 BC at the earliest, but the first country was established (Egypt counted the dynasty time by dynasty): the first dynasty, from 3200 BC, the first Pharaoh was menes. Ancient Egypt built the world-famous pyramids, the Sphinx, the underground god cow temple in Memphis, the Karnak temple, the Egyptian obelisk and so on.

He created his own calendar, invented writing, and calculated the splendid civilization such as pi. Today, Egypt occupies a unique geographical position, with the Suez Canal, one of the three grand canals in the world, and one of the busiest straits in the world.

Today's Egypt, the full name of Arab Egypt * * * Republic, covers an area of 1 10,000 square kilometers, has a population of 95.68 million, a presidential system of * *, and its GDP in 2065.438+2008 was US$ 235.3 billion, which is a developing country.

China, we don't mention our ancestors "Yuanmou Man" and "Lantian Man", nor "matriarchal Age", "Paleolithic Age" and "New Age". Instead, 7000 years ago, tortoise-bone inscriptions with characters appeared in China. Later, the emperor and Emperor Yan merged to form the ancestor of the Chinese nation, which has a history of more than 5,000 years.

The first national dynasty in China was the Xia Dynasty, which was founded by Yu in 2070 BC, but it was not recognized due to the lack of historical materials and was postponed to the Shang Dynasty hundreds of years later. China built the world-famous Great Wall of Wan Li, Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Potala Palace, Forbidden City, Mogao Grottoes and so on in ancient times.

He created the "Four Great Inventions", had his own calendar, invented writing, discovered Pythagorean theorem, and made pottery with pottery wheels, which created unfavorable conditions for the development of human civilization in the world. In today's society, China, as a pivotal country in the world, is one of the five permanent members in the world. The territory area is the third largest country in the world, 9.6 million square kilometers, with a vast territory, rich resources and diverse climate; The world's largest population country, with a population of over 65.438+0.4 billion; The world's second largest economy, with a total GDP of $65,438 +02.2 trillion, is a developing country.

Generally speaking, among the four ancient civilizations, Egypt is the earliest country with a longer history and culture than ancient Greece and ancient Maya, and it is also one of the few countries with ancient civilizations that have survived.
