The Egyptian era dates to more than the 6th Millennium BCE. This country was founded in 3100 BC. It was one of the most powerful and influential civilisations of its time. The Egyptian writing hieroglyphics is the world’s oldest and basic form of writing which was discovered in 3200 BC. The country had been ruled by various empires, such as the Persian Empire and Ottoman Empire.
The Arabs captured Egypt in the 9-10th century, and although this country has modernised throughout the years, its history has played a huge part in where it is today and the lure that surrounds it.
7. Syria
Ruled by several empires, Syria is home to remains that date as far back as an estimated 700,000 years ago. Of the innumerable uncovered, the remains include skeletons and bones of archaic humans. Subsequent archeological excursions have also uncovered the nation’s long-lost city of Elba. This city is one of the earliest colonies to be excavated and is believed to have existed around 3,000 BCE. Thanks to these findings, Syria ranks high as the oldest country in the world.
