Answer 2

This isnt the oldest nation perhaps, but Caral in peru dates back over 5 1/2 thosand years ago. It was recently discovered that this area was much older than origanally thought:

Sometime before 3200 BC, if not 3500 BC, something happened in the Norte Chico in Peru, an agronomical no-go area, where hardly anything grows. This, however, is the site where the oldest traces of a “genuine civilisation” – pyramids included – were found in America.

Here, at least 25 large ceremonial/residential sites have so far been found, of which Caral has become the most famous. The North Chico, roughly 100 km north of the Peruvian capital Lima, consists of four narrow river valleys, from south to north, the Huaura, Supe, Pativilca, and Fortaleza. The ancient pyramids of Caral predate the Inca civilisation by 4000 years, but were flourishing a century before the pyramids of Gizeh. No surprise therefore that they have been identified as the most important archaeological discovery since the discovery of Machu Picchu in 1911.  

Answer 3

At school we were always told that the earliest civilization was that of Egypt, and that it just appeared out of nowhere about 3000 BC.

Since then, however, time has marched on. Today, because of newer archaeological discoveries, research, computers, electron microscope, DNA and MtDNA analysis, but especially because of the internet and the rapid distribution of knowledge to all by many different authorities, our view of early civilizations has changed somewhat.

The earliest developed area of the world was the 'Fertile Crescent' , (known as such because it was fertile land ), and the most-fertile part was the area that we know as Mesopotamia. This was the area that people and families gravitated to, and a country is just an enlarged group of families.

The earliest culture that we know of is that of Sumer, but don't take my word for it - check it out and follow it through.

Answer 4

Depends on what your definition of a nation is. If you mean modern day nations, that would be the principality of San Marino. However, if you mean as a civilization in general, that would be the Sumerians of Mesopotamia, in what is now modern day Iraq.

Answer 5

      I would say to have an established Nation there has to be something to hold the people to the area. Farming would qualify for that. After all if there is nothing to hold the people, they're going to gravitate away right, ?

      This would bring the "fertile crescent" or the area of Iraq along the river valleys where farming was first started, into light.

The truth should be one of those
