Now there are different accounts and there are controversies. Some civilizations even appeared at the same time.
We must know that history is unchanging, but what we find to know history is constantly evolving, controversial, and changing. There is the following statement:
1.The Two Rivers Civilization is the oldest civilization in human history. The ancient Greeks called the valley of the two rivers "Mesopotamia", which means "the place between the two rivers".
Mesopotamia was divided into two parts, Babylonia to the south and Assyria to the north. Today, the two river basins are equivalent to today's Iraq. The first inhabitants of the era of the Two Rivers Civilization were the Sumerians, who came here before 4000 BC, and the first civilization of the Two Rivers Valley was founded by them.
Later Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, and Chaldeans inherited and developed the achievements of the Sumerians, making the Two Rivers Civilization an important page in the history of human civilization. Among them, the Babylonians achieved the most, so the civilization of the two rivers is also called the Babylonian civilization.
2.Greece has a civilization that lasts for 7,000 years, as the latest archaeological results show that humans lived in the Aegean region of the Peloponnese as early as 7,000 years ago, the so-called Stone Age. If this archaeological discovery is proven, then the ancient Greek civilization can indeed be considered the oldest civilization in the world.
The rivers are the lifeblood of human civilization, the Euphrates and Tigris are like two vines of life, stretching in the inhospitable desert area, giving birth to the oldest civilization of mankind. Mesopotamia – the cradle of civilization and the gathering point of a new era.
3.Let's look back at the oldest civilizations, from Sumer and Akkad to ancient Babylon and Neo-Babylon, from the Common Era.
Five or six thousand years ago. The oldest civilization, it is a little older than the ancient Egyptian civilization.

<>1. The birthplace of the world's civilization is documented by the four ancient civilizations, all of which have something in common, all near rivers, and are generally used to refer to the four earliest regions where human civilization was born, such as ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient China, and ancient India;
2. However, due to the lack of accurate documentary records of ancient civilizations, there is still a debate in the academic circles about the specific birth time of ancient civilizations. There are references to ancient Greece rather than ancient Babylon, as well as Mesopotamia and sub-arts. And a lot of philosophical, scientific, literary, artistic and other knowledge that human beings have today can generally be traced back to these ancient civilizations;
3. Scholars believe that the four major civilizations were all established near the river plateau, because there were fixed water sources that made it easier for agriculture and commerce to develop, and the two river basins, the Nile, the Yellow River, the Yangtze River basin, and the Indus River and the Ganges River basin in the northern hemisphere successively produced the world's four major civilizations;
4. From 7,000 to 4,000 years ago, the ancient civilization entered the Bronze Age from the Neolithic Age, and then entered the Iron Age; The social system was mostly slavery, and state power was born relatively late, and Sumerian in Mesopotamia was the earliest known civilization in the world.

The world's earliest civilization: Mesopotamia.
Iraq is located between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers and was called "Mesopotamia" (meaning "place between two rivers") by ancient Greek writers. Between 4000 and 3100 BC, the Sumerian civilization, the earliest civilization of mankind, appeared in southern Mesopotamia.
The Sumerians created the earliest written language of mankind, cuneiform, built the first cities of mankind, and established the first states. For nearly 3,000 years, Mesopotamia was one of the most important centers of ancient civilization. During this period, one nation or group of people took over the baton of the Sumerians and carried forward the civilization they created.
Impact: Mesopotamian civilization has made immeasurable contributions to mankind, and as the world's earliest ancient civilization with brilliant achievements, it is itself the cradle of world civilization.
Although the Mesopotamian civilization flourished and then perished in its later development, its influence on other civilizations such as Greek, Egyptian, and Jewish civilizations already existed, and continued to influence their development and the course of world history.
1. Egyptian civilization.
Egyptian hieroglyphs bear a striking resemblance to Sumerian script, and the size and shape of bricks used in Egyptian architecture are characteristic of early Mesopotamian civilization.
2. Greek civilization.
The Greeks were the first people to truly absorb Mesopotamian civilization and spread some of it to the West. George Sutton, an expert on the history of science, said: "The foundations of Greek science are entirely oriental, and without them, however profound the Greek genius may be, it is not necessarily capable of creating anything comparable to its actual achievements."
We have no right to ignore the Mesopotamian mothers of Greek genius".
Scientifically, the Mesopotamian civilization of the week system, the astronomical calendar, and the mathematical division of the circle were all introduced to Greece and then to the Western world. In literature, the characters and stories of Greek mythology can be found in Mesopotamian mythology. Politically, Greece absorbed the Mesopotamian city-state system and the divine kingship.

Ancient Babylon (between 4000 BC and 2250 BC), Ancient Egypt (3500 BC and 600 BC), Ancient Greece (between 3000 BC and 1100 BC), Ancient India (2000 BC), and Ancient China (the Shang Dynasty was established in 1600 BC – Westerners only recognize physical evidence and not scholarship, so they do not recognize the Five Emperors and the Xia period, editors add) are the five major birthplaces of civilization in the world." This is the statement that the academic community agrees with the most.

The new form of human civilization is the form of civilization formed in the practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics, including the overall coordination and all-round development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization and ecological civilization. It is guided by political civilization, implements whole-process people's democracy, and ensures the organic unity of the party's leadership, the people's mastery of the country and the rule of law. With material civilization as the cornerstone, the public ownership system should be the mainstay and the economy under various ownership systems should develop together, so as to create a rich material foundation for the other four civilizations. In addition, the new form of human civilization also includes upholding the unity of emancipating the productive forces and developing the productive forces. >>>More
