What do you believe is the oldest civilization to have existed?
I'd like to know what people have heard about this topic. I have just learned about the Oxus culture for the first time. I have also heard the Indus Valley Civilization maybe oldest now due to new evidence found off of the coast of India. Any idea?
Transformers that's motivating that'll be us someday if we survive long enough

The world's first civilisation, and, therefore the oldest, was the 'Sumerians', about 6,000 years ago (4,000 years BC), in what was to become Babylonia.

Probably the oldest are under the sea. The last ice age ended about 10,000 years ago. The melting ice caused the world's oceans to rise over 100 feet. Any towns and cities on the coast would have ended up underwater. Plato's reference to Atlantis was probably about such a civilization. He said Atlantis existed 11,000 years ago, and that it went up in flames and then sank beneath the sea, all in a single day.
