Player #18944816, I think Damascus is the oldest CAPITAL city, but not necessarily the oldest city.

Player SindyS, I guessed Cairo, and upon reading that this place is always bustling with people seeking peace and quiet, couldn’t help but see the oxymoron.

Damascus and Byblos in Lebanon are the two oldest continuously inhabited cities. Very wrong

I was taught the oldest civilizations (here meaning city dwellers, no offense to nomads, hunter gatherers etc) came from either Indus valley (first) and Mesopotamia (between the Tigres and Euphrates Rivers).

A small city with a population of 20,000 people, Jericho, which is located in Palestine, is believed to be the oldest city in the world. Indeed, some of the earliest archeological evidence from the area dates back 11,000 years.
The question probably meant ONE of the oldest cities of the world or in India or something

I have heard of Varanasi due to my facination with religion. without it I may have guessed Cairo.
