Some of the oldest countries are not just lands but living records of human history as their stories go back thousands of years.

These ancient countries are like living museums of human history and have helped build the foundation of today’s civilisations. From Egypt’s pyramids to Greece’s philosophy, each has contributed to the world in incredible ways.

Here are five of the oldest countries in the world, each with a rich history and lasting legacy.

1. Egypt (Over 5,000 Years)
Egypt is known as the cradle of civilisation, with a history of over 5,000 years. It started along the Nile River, where one of the world’s first advanced civilisations grew. Ancient Egyptians were pioneers in architecture, science, and governance.

Famous landmarks like the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the temples of Luxor and Karnak still amaze people today. Egypt’s fascinating history makes it a favourite destination for history lovers.

2. India (Over 5,000 Years)
India has a history of over 5,000 years, starting with the Indus Valley Civilisation—one of the world’s earliest urban cultures. Over time, empires like the Maurya, Gupta, and Mughal shaped the nation.

India has contributed greatly to science, math, philosophy, and religion. Iconic sites like the Taj Mahal and Varanasi showcase India’s rich cultural and historical heritage.

3. China (Over 4,000 Years)
China’s history goes back more than 4,000 years, making it one of the oldest continuous civilisations. It has seen the rise and fall of many dynasties, from the Xia Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty.

China’s cultural treasures include the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Terracotta Army in Xi’an.

4. Iran (Over 3,000 Years)
Iran, once called Persia, has a history of more than 3,000 years. The Achaemenid Empire, started by Cyrus the Great, was one of the most powerful empires of ancient times. It created systems of administration and culture that inspired future civilisations.

Landmarks like Persepolis and the ancient city of Susa highlight Iran’s golden age.

5. Greece (Over 3,000 Years)
Greece’s history spans more than 3,000 years. It is known as the birthplace of democracy, philosophy, and the Olympic Games. Ancient Greece thrived with city-states like Athens and Sparta, which played key roles in shaping Western culture.

Landmarks like the Acropolis, Delphi, and Olympia highlight Greece’s achievements.
