Ancient history is from the period of time when writing and historical records first appear, roughly 5,500 years before the Birth of Christ. For some, the discovery of agriculture, roughly 6,000 BC is the beginning of ancient history. The most common date for an end of ancient history in Europe is AD 476 (the fall of the Western Roman Empire), however the exact date is still disputed among various historians. In Europe ancient history was followed by Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Europeans founded America in 1492, but they were really late in the game. Vikings came earlier, and surely the Eastern Asians before that, but we have no documentation of a date.

Tons. I am referring to Classical China, here, by the way.\n\nMesopotamia tended to have multiple and very seperate civilizations. These included the Assyrians, the Sumerians, the Babylonians, etc. Generally, new civillizations would come along and evict the other by force. Like the Babylonians started their empire after they kicked out the Sumerians.\n\nStill they had the same culture and religion mostly, so they are sometimes referred to as ancient mesopotamia. \n\nChina had more of an organized empire, and over time it built up extensive beauracracies to control the empire. At first it's central government was too weak (Zhao Dynasty), then too strong (Qin) and then just about right (Han). Still , Classical China was eventually conquered.\n\nMesopotamia mainly was slightly less advanced (they came before) and their government was a kingdom, while china had an Empire with the Mandate of Heaven. That is, the emperor claimed he was a god.

Interesting question.\nThe oldest country as we understand the term today would be San Marino (310AD). As far as civilizations are concerned there are a few who would compete: Japan (first sings of civilization around 10000 BC), China with the same term. Rome and Greece are much younger.

Among archaeologists, there are two schools of thought:\nThe "short chronology" camp estimates that humans reached N. America no earlier than 14,000 to 16,000 years ago. \nThe "long chronology" camp estimates that it may have been as much as 20,000 years ago.

This depends upon your definition of what a country is/was.  It appears that the first signs of civilization (building cities) was in Sumer in southern Mesopotamia sometime between 3500 and 3300 BCE.  Soon after, Egypt and the Indus River Valley began.\nSargon of Akkadia was the first ruler to keep a standing army and the first human to rule over multiple city-states.  This was about 2300 BCE.

Sumer (or Shumer, Egyptian Sangar, Bib.
