DONT READ MY PROFILE PICTURE!
@@dontreadmyprofilepicture3765 man shut up
My mom wont let me😭
The common problem that's done in these rankings is confusing the actual formation of a nation with the oldest founded civilization that would eventually become the geographic homeland of that nation
Its also pretty inconsistent on that front too.
Ya I was pretty confused when Bangladesh popped up coz it literally split from Pakistan in 1971😅
@@faizsayyed5161 or Germany, which formed *after* the us
Yeah. If they count the civilizations that eventually became the geographical boundary of the countries then Pakistan would be the oldest with the Indus Valley Civilization even older than Egyptian civilization.
I was also confused when montenegro popped up when it became a country in 2006

Some of the Pyramids in Egypt are so old that Cleopatra lived closer to our timeline currently right now then when the pyramids were built. To Cleopatra, the pyramids were also ancient history
It's really hard to determine how old a country is. From which point do you count it as the modern county? What about border changes? Government changes? Name changes? What if they're occupied? Joins unions?
I think the oldest evidence of civilization

Please fix me. Turkiye was first established in 220 BC under the name of "Asya Hun", according to this, Turkiye has existed for exactly two thousand two hundred and forty-four years.
I am very happy to teach this information, now you understand that it is old in Turkiye.
In Central Asia? They mentioned Mongolia
Modern Greece got its independence in the 1830s so the country as it is today isn't that old. However going of greek civilization the country should have been way older than that and once again would be hard to define the start of Greece as a country back then because each city was mostly considered independent of one another and the city-states would form alliances with each other
Proud to have my country at the thumbnail. 🇬🇷

Your better then my actual geography teacher 😂
This ranking is very random... There is no consistent criteria used for the age of a country.
Do they count from the beginning of the current government/constitution (e.g. as they did with the US)?
Do they count from the beginning of the first nation state which had a similar national identity as a country that exists today (e.g. the Frankish Kingdom of Germany/the Federal Republic of Germany)?
They do count the years in which a country didn't exist?
Do they use the first nation that had roughly the same geographical boundaries as a nation today?
(e.g. Numidia, a Berber Kingdom/Algeria, an Islamic, Arabic Republic)
Why is Greece counted as 2211 years? No single Greek state existed in 189BC. Ancient Greece was a loose collections of city-states/kingdoms that were only unified for 13 years by Alexander the Great in 336BC and didn't appear as a Greek nation state again until ~1821 (Byzantine Empire doesn't count as Greek).
Why are India and Egypt counted from the first high civilization (which has very little to do with the country today, nor with the people, the language, the cultural identity or the religion and of which we don't know a whole lot) that was discovered on their current territory?
Why isn't Iraq counted under the same criteria as Egypt and India when the first high civilization (Sumer) of Mesopotamia is several centuries older than the Nile/Indus civilizations? They literally are the beginning of written history!
All in all this video is a mess of different measurements and standarts, inaccurate and of no real educational value. The easiest consistant comparison would be one of comparing the birth of the current government of a country. In this list, the oldest country would be San Marino, which has been one continuous republic since 301AD.
I’m confused too, Indian Civilization started 10,000 years ago so why is it only 4000+ years old?
I agree. Nationalism also didn't exist for most of human history, so people didn't have this kind of sense of belonging to the state they're in like we're used to nowadays.
Concerning Algeria, it's the same criteria as Egypt, basically the first state and civilization founded by the natives. I'll let you know that the natives of Algeria (Berbers, also called Amazigh) still speak their language (official with Arabic) and that even Arabs are actually Arab-speaking Berbers, like the Irish. They might call themselves Arabs but genetically they're Berbers.
I was really happy to see my country at 2224 years old (Algeria 🇩🇿)

That's wrong, Greece was created on like 2500BC so its like 5.500 years old.

Bro Grees is older like 🇬🇷,🇪🇬,🇨🇳 😕
I’m surprised about some of those like I knew Greece Egypt and china but like some of the others. Also great video Jack!
Egypt and Greece being really old is common knowledge
@@HelloIAmARandomPerson so is India sri lanka tho ? India and Egypt had one of the oldest civilizationns
China could be 5000 years or 74 years depending on how u look at it
@@lavie7358 I think since India's borders changed a lot and now English is an official language with also Pakistan and Bangladesh gaining independence everyone forgets that India is old due to the fact that it had been played with for a long time, While on the other hand Egypt and Greece's borders haven't changed much
@@skiver2609 I don't think that change in borders have anything to do with it. Egypt and Greece just are more famous in the western world because of several reasons.
The fact that most of their old names still exist today is crazy.
For example, Serbia, Georgia, Armenia, Greece.
I don't think they had those names since the beginning. I think that for example "India" and "Egypt" as names came from the Greeks which are younger than them and the name "Greece" also comes from a different source. I don't know much about the first two (and what I said might even be partially wrong) but I do know some stuff about Greece's case. The name Greeks use is completely different and it is "Hellas" (Ελλάς/Ελλάδα) which was also not used until quite recently (compared to its whole history). In fact it is kinda hard to define ancient Greece because it was not a state. Greece used to be a couple of city-states with a similar language, traditions, religion and sometimes common goals. Those states though fought each other quite frequently but during peace they had some forms of unification like EU today (they did allow citizens to travel from state to state with relative freedom thought it depended to which city, Sparta was not much of a friend). They also unified in cases of emergency like the Persian invasion and they did peace treaties during the Olympics but since all of those were partial unifications they never had a name for themselves, they just called the others with names like "barbarians". Though as far as I know "Greece" might come from the word "Γραικός" which might be of Greek origin (else it has to be latin or something) and it might mean something like "strong" or "powerful".
In short: some of those countries/people used to have different names and in fact even today they have. What is actually more interesting is how their languages still exist and still have their own identity.
what's interesting about this is that it includes countries that didn't exist for some time
Problem with this is for example Australia only became an offical country around 250 years ago but has had humans on its land for over 60000 years
This is crazy, I just watched this video myself before you posted it! Thanks for the great content! Your kind of stuff is all that I watch! :) Congrats on 1 mil subs!

The original Israel was older than most of these, but they failed to use the same logic as they did for the other "countries," which are considerably younger than their civilizations.
I guessed Egypt or Greece and they were both top 5 😊
@Bhagwa yeah wtf
Technically the oldest civilization in Greece is Minos and has existed since I think 4000bc(maybe 3000bc not 100% sure )
Greece is 3.000BC but the Minoans is 4.000BC-5.000BC and Crete is 5.000BC Athens is 3.000BC and Argos is 5.000BC Greece is the second oldest Country after Egypt 🥇🇪🇬 🥈🇬🇷 but oldest cities is 🥇🇬🇷 oldest language 🥇🇪🇬 🥈🇬🇷 history 🥇🇬🇷 🥈🇪🇬🇮🇹

Italy:am I a joke to you?!💀🇮🇹
Greece is very much about 5000-6000 years old. This video only starts counting from the written Greek alphabet which is a weird way to see it as they had an alphabet before that
The thing is Jack, not all of these countries have existed consistently in their current form throughout history so this chart is a bit misleading. For example Armenia has only existed in its current form since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Also Portugal and Spain were United at one point.
This man teaches me more geography than my school in Bangladesh, I thought Bangladesh was 50 years old. Lol 😅
"Banga-Desh" also known as "Gauda" was form by Independent King "Shashanka" during 7th Century AD after the fall of Gupta Empire.
Here i think referring that making Bangladesh older than Pakistan 😜
Iraq is older
I mean that's not wrong, Bangladesh gained independence from Pakistan in 1971.
The once Kathmandu lake was between 2.8 million and 10,000 years ago. The lake was drained by a Buddhist saint manjushree who sliced open one of the hills called ‘Chobar’ draining the water in the lake (legend/myth) . The fertile land was discovered in 723

i wouldnt really say that this is accurate, since only the capital of Armenia is over 2800 years old, and our history dates to way before that. great video as always tho!
I thought the same. But I guess it wasn't a "country" then? Anyways, measuring age of countries is pretty hard, so different measures are common
@@o_s-24 it would be considered a kingdom, but the same applies to many of the countries on this list

The fact that he just casually skipped Lithuania.
It makes sense since that country isnt very old. Like 50 years or so when the soviet unionen ended.
@@erikstenviken2652 Not true, it's about 700-800 hundred as shown in the video.
@@Pipkiss it depends how you look at it. Norway gained its independence from Sweden in 1905. Before that it was the same country, same king and so on. The video said sweden was over 1000 year which isnt true. Around year 1000 sweden was more than one kingdom with their own kings. For me sweden gained independence from denmark in 1523.
That thing where people can't tell the difference between countries and nations. It would be more revealing and educating for the people watching this, if Greece, for example, was listed correctly at 201 years, instead of 2500 years (which is also wrong, by about 1000 years)
actually greece has been arround from -10000BC

No history 😂
Haha.Fake History
I am from Greece 🇬🇷 🌍 😍 and my country is very old 2800 years old and has very interesting history 😀 🤔 😉 🙂 😳 👍 😀.
The history of Denmark as a unified kingdom began in the 8th century, but historic documents describe the geographic area and the people living there-the Danes-as early as 500 AD. These early documents include the writings of Jordanes and Procopius. so the vid is wrong
The numbers seem to be either arbitrary or a very thin stretch. Speaking of Ukraine, where I live, even if by far margin we recognize Zaporizh Cossack state as the predecessor of modern Ukraine (which it legally is not) that's still like 400 years old, not nearly 1100 as in the video. They seem to refer to Kievan Rus there, but that state has no political or hereditary connection to the modern Ukrainian state, only historical and cultural at most.
Based on your logic, none of the countries mentioned have political connection to the modern states. Modern Ukrainian state, however, states that they are the descendants of the Kyivan Rus empire.
@@Filonikis I don't know about other countries, I am speaking only for Ukraine because I live here and I know its history. The state does not state anything, JFYI. Kyivan Rus was mostly destroyed by Mongol invasion around XIII century and have never recovered. The first non-mongol governance on these lands since that was established by Muscovite Tsardom two centuries later. And two another centuries after that, Cossack State was formally annexed by Muscovites into their emprie which lasted up to bolshevik revolt at the beginning of XX century. That is, even if you count Kyivan Rus in, Ukrainian state in its modern understanding did not exist in any shape or form for nearly seven centuries. I made some simplifications of course, but its close.
That being said, Ukrainian People's Republic was established shortly after the dissolution of Russian Empire. It then was conquered by bolsheviks, yes, but Ukrainian government went into exile and formally existed up until 1991 when the Soviet Union fell apart as well. My point is that old Ukrainian government in exile DID officially recognize modern Ukraine state as its successor and dissolved itself. Not that Ukraine has claimed anything of that sort out of thin air. The political connection therefore DO exist. Formalized and official. Which is not the case for Kyivan Rus.
@@MouseTai1 It is not all about states. It's about ethnicities and expression. Ukrainian people didn't appear suddenly, they come from Kyivan Rus and Cossacks.
With this logic, Greece did not exist before 1830, since it was not an official state. But what about ancient Greece and Byzantine empire? Shouldn't we count it?
@@Filonikis Not really. Because by that logic you should also count modern indians as Indo-Aryan peoples just because they came mostly from the same place in India, when in fact they are related very distantly if at all.
Byzantine Empire was created by Roman civilization and in the likeness of Roman Empire, long after Ancient Greece had lost its major cultural and political influence.
You seem to refer to the concept of nationality, which did not exist before early XIX century. Before that, people identified themselves rather by professed faith and spoken language. The modern Ukrainians wouldn't understand the language of Kyivan Rus, and modern greeks would also have hard time understanding language of Ancient Greece.
Also also, Cossacks are not nationality nor faith nor language group but rather a social class of freelance warriors who self-organized into relatively small (by contemporary standards) armies. They were never numerous. They never considered (bothered) themselves with a state/citizenship matters. And Cossack Siches were destroyed by Muscovites eventually.
So no, I am for the strict, well-defined, well-recorded and documented political connection.
Proud to be an Armenian🇦🇲
Ancient Greece was much older tho it ages back to 6000bc because of greeks who were living crete in stone age
