The Piri Reis Map of 1513 is the first surviving map that shows the Americas (the Vinland map may be older but only shows a part of North America). The Piri Reis map shows North America, South America, Greenland and Antarctica which had not yet been discovered. The map was made by a Turkish Admiral Piri Ibn Haji Mehmed. Reis means admiral. Piri Reis did not long bath in the light of this famous work but was beheaded in 1554 for an unsuccessful foray into the Persian Gulf. The map became lost and was only rediscovered in 1929 by a group of historians working in the harem section of the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul (Constatinople) found the map in a pile of rubble.\n\nBecause of the details on this map, many claims have been made for this map. Some even believe that it is so perfect that it could only have been made from very high altitude photographs. Some of this claims can be found at the following web sites:

depends on wat u mean by history:\nI think that mid east/africa have the oldest written history, but that written history has not been consistent. \n\nIf you mean longest consistent written history, then id go with asia(probably China specifically) because the longest is most likely Mesopotamia(Iraq)

Probably the age of ancient empires, though you should mention to your teacher that an archaeologist told you that none of those answers are very correct.

if you mean the oldest civilization, then it would be mesopotamia or China. But if you mean just plain history, then there would be no answer, because every country started existing at the same time.
