World’s oldest observatory discovered in China\n10-31-05 - Southeast Asia — United States\nChinese archaeologists claim to have discovered the world’s earliest observatory, dating back to some 4,100 years, in North China’s Shanxi province.\n\n" The ancient observatory in the Taosi relics site is at least 2,000 years older than the 1,000-year-old observatory built by the Mayans in Central America, a research fellow with the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, He Nu said. He said the observatory built at the end of the primitive society, “was not only used for observing astronomical phenomena but also for sacrificial rites”.

Actually...the oldest known Mosque in the Muslim world is in Mecca...which was first a temple to pagan idols long before Islam declaired it to be their Mosque...see Kabba for details...the Kabba in Mecca has an old meterorite in its walls that Muslims walks around and kiss...they say the blackened stone is suppose to be black from 'soaking' up all the sin...lol? Kinda makes one wonder just why so many people would walk around and around an old ancient pagan temple with a black meterorite in it anyway.

It depends on what you count as a country - is Germany, for example, the same country as it was 150 years ago, when it was much larger and encompassed many other lands?\n\nFor the sake of argument, let's say that a country is one that can show continuity of government - that is, not being taken over, breaking apart, or falling into anarchy.  Among the oldest countries would be:\n\nChina - The first king can be traced to approx. 1617 B.C.E.\nJapan - they can trace their monarchy (and thus the government) to approx. 270 C.E.\nSan Marino - was founded in 301 C.E.\nFrance - Can trace its roots to 486 C.E.\nVatican City - as a successor nation to the old Papal States, they can trace to around the 6th century C.E.

The very oldest species on Earth are the cyanobacteria, which seem to have been around virtually unchanged for nearly 4 billion years. This is based on fossils of that age that have been compared under high-powered microscopes to existing species of these bacteria. Other bacteria that are about as old are the archaea, which thrive in acidic, high- temperature, or high-radiation environments. \n\nAnother remnant of ancient organisms includes the stromatolites, mounds of algae and bacteria that today grow in the Bahamas, Shark's Bay Australia, and a few other limited environments. They have been around, also largely unchanged, for over 3 billion years and at one time were the Earth's dominant form of life. \n\nOn the animal side of things, the brachiopod Lingulaa is probably the oldest, having existed nearly unchanged for over 500 million years, and the horseshoe crab (limulus) has been on the planet for several hundred million years, too. Since the average "lifespan" of a species is only a few million years, having such ancient species around is very impressive. \n\nA good book about the earliest life is "Cradle of Life" by J. William Schopf. He is one of the premier scientists doing this sort of research. At a more advanced level, he has edited two scientific books, "Earth's Earliest Biosphere" and "The Proterozoic Biosphere", which should be in your university's geology or science library.

Chinese might be the Oldest . But languages in Ancient Scriptures found for Ancient Egyptian and Indus Valley Civilizations might also be older than Chinese. And so could be predecessors of Greek and Latin . So it is an Open ENDED Question  !!!
