World's OLDEST Countries

The common problem that's done in these rankings is confusing the actual formation of a nation with the oldest founded civilization that would eventually become the geographic homeland of that nation

Jacks geography knowledge fluctuating between absolute genius to absolute idiot is gold

france : "we created algeria!!" also algeria: *1000 years older than france*

This is crazy, I just watched this video myself before you posted it! Thanks for the great content! Your kind of stuff is all that I watch! :) Congrats on 1 mil subs!

It's really hard to determine how old a country is. From which point do you count it as the modern county? What about border changes? Government changes? Name changes? What if they're occupied? Joins unions?

Love the videos, Jack. Keep it up!!!

I can watch this video hundreds of times and never get bored.

Some of the Pyramids in Egypt are so old that Cleopatra lived closer to our timeline currently right now then when the pyramids were built. To Cleopatra, the pyramids were also ancient history

Keep up the great work Jack, your videos are truly amazing 👏

Hi jack just wanted to say I have learned so much geography from you and anytime I see a flag I get it instantly and when I’m watching your vids I notice you sometimes have to look it up lol. So yeah I just wanna say your great

Congratulations on passing one million subscribers Jack!

Please fix me. Turkiye was first established in 220 BC under the name of "Asya Hun", according to this, Turkiye has existed for exactly two thousand two hundred and forty-four years. I am very happy to teach this information, now you understand that it is old in Turkiye.

Love your vids jack❤ keep it up!

Your better then my actual geography teacher 😂

I’m surprised about some of those like I knew Greece Egypt and china but like some of the others. Also great video Jack!

Proud to have my country at the thumbnail. 🇬🇷

Good job keep it up jack ❤

The question is - will the comparison videos work on the geography channel?

Uk was born in 1707 Usa was born in 1776 Canada was born in 1849 Australia was born in 1901 New Zealand was born in 1924

I love these videos. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦

Great video that you totally spent time on but there always good, thanks for spending 10 minutes to entertain us jack😊

Modern Greece got its independence in the 1830s so the country as it is today isn't that old. However going of greek civilization the country should have been way older than that and once again would be hard to define the start of Greece as a country back then because each city was mostly considered independent of one another and the city-states would form alliances with each other

gotta love comparison videos

I was really happy to see my country at 2224 years old (Algeria 🇩🇿)

That's wrong, Greece was created on like 2500BC so its like 5.500 years old.

what's interesting about this is that it includes countries that didn't exist for some time

This man doesn’t fail to put a smile on our faces!

This is really good to know, thanks jack

Fun fact: San Marino is the oldest country that hasn’t changed its type of government at all.

Hey Jack, you should do a video on the youngest country's since you already made one for the oldest!

I Just Wanna Say That Jack Is The Best RU-vidr On The Platform! (Thanks To Jack I Improved My Geography Skills)

nice comparisons

I can’t believe Equatorial Guinea is over 10,000 years old

The thing is Jack, not all of these countries have existed consistently in their current form throughout history so this chart is a bit misleading. For example Armenia has only existed in its current form since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Also Portugal and Spain were United at one point.

You know I love how this channel has more subs then the main

Hi Jack i love your country videos

The fact that most of their old names still exist today is crazy. For example, Serbia, Georgia, Armenia, Greece.

Ethiopia 🇪🇹 proud to be from the land of orgins

Jack thank you for teaching me the world

You are amazing jack

Proud of my country 🇩🇿 👑 11th oldest country in history 🔥 2226years of history 🇩🇿👑🔥

Bro Grees is older like 🇬🇷,🇪🇬,🇨🇳 😕

Problem with this is for example Australia only became an offical country around 250 years ago but has had humans on its land for over 60000 years

Yeah I'm from Egypt

Αδερφέ όταν εμείς είχαμε χοληστερίνη όλοι οι υπόλοιποι στον πλανήτη έτρωγαν χόρτα!!!🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 φιλάκια και την αγάπη μας σε όλο τον κόσμο

The marvel music whilst looking at countries is a remarkable moment

Jack could you do a video on some unknown islands I live on an island called Tasmania under Australia

Israel is 75 years old

I guessed Egypt or Greece and they were both top 5 😊

Jacks face at 1:53 look like he having a party

Hey jack, Monaco was also there too btw which is very suprising

The fact that he just casually skipped Lithuania.

This man teaches me more geography than my school in Bangladesh, I thought Bangladesh was 50 years old. Lol 😅

Jack's trying to get the world record for shortest reaction video

0:20 Bosnia and Herzegovina is actually is older than 1000 years (first time mention in 10th century). First time it was mentioned by: Constantine Porphyrogenitus, book name: De Administrando Imperio

Can we take a minute to appreciate how much content Jack manages to put out. You're an inspiration Jack .

i wouldnt really say that this is accurate, since only the capital of Armenia is over 2800 years old, and our history dates to way before that. great video as always tho!

Jack! Will you now finally go to Equatorial Guinea now that you've reached 1M subs?

You should play the game where you try to guess every World Cup country! 👍

2:01 I became even more proud than I already am when he reacted to my country (Algeria)

1:29 he said Israel could be the oldest country 😑

This guy :Of course it’s Egypt Iran 🇮🇷: are you serious my brother? 😂

I'm not sure if this is taken into consideration, but do the years mean when it was FIRST declared independent, or a "second" declaration (lets say they got taken over in war) very confusing

Would be interesting to see what the borders looked like when these countries were founded

Ah yes another "comparison" video, Jacks favorite. (Not hate lol)

1:11 Georgia 1k? 😂😂😂 we have 6k old wine mann

I am from Egypt and I am very proud and you have taught me so much when I have been watching your videos

Proud to be from the oldest country in the world 🇪🇬❤️

For anyone wondering what the actual oldest country is (as in continuously run without being anxed or anything) it's San Marino 🇸🇲

video idea for JACK ranking all 197 flags of the world

Haha, I love his reaction at the end😂

This ranking is very random... There is no consistent criteria used for the age of a country. Do they count from the beginning of the current government/constitution (e.g. as they did with the US)? Do they count from the beginning of the first nation state which had a similar national identity as a country that exists today (e.g. the Frankish Kingdom of Germany/the Federal Republic of Germany)? They do count the years in which a country didn't exist? Do they use the first nation that had roughly the same geographical boundaries as a nation today? (e.g. Numidia, a Berber Kingdom/Algeria, an Islamic, Arabic Republic) Why is Greece counted as 2211 years? No single Greek state existed in 189BC. Ancient Greece was a loose collections of city-states/kingdoms that were only unified for 13 years by Alexander the Great in 336BC and didn't appear as a Greek nation state again until ~1821 (Byzantine Empire doesn't count as Greek). Why are India and Egypt counted from the first high civilization (which has very little to do with the country today, nor with the people, the language, the cultural identity or the religion and of which we don't know a whole lot) that was discovered on their current territory? Why isn't Iraq counted under the same criteria as Egypt and India when the first high civilization (Sumer) of Mesopotamia is several centuries older than the Nile/Indus civilizations? They literally are the beginning of written history! All in all this video is a mess of different measurements and standarts, inaccurate and of no real educational value. The easiest consistant comparison would be one of comparing the birth of the current government of a country. In this list, the oldest country would be San Marino, which has been one continuous republic since 301AD.

Proud to be born in France 🇨🇵🥰

The once Kathmandu lake was between 2.8 million and 10,000 years ago. The lake was drained by a Buddhist saint manjushree who sliced open one of the hills called ‘Chobar’ draining the water in the lake (legend/myth) . The fertile land was discovered in 723

This really depends on when you classify the country is founded. For example the Norman conquest of the Angelo Saxons to form the UK in 1066 which is 956 years old. Or the Angelo Saxons which would be 1612 years old? or Before the roman empire with Celts which would be around ~3000 years ago. So big gaps depending where you say a country is founded.

Love from India ❤❤😁😁

Greece is very much about 5000-6000 years old. This video only starts counting from the written Greek alphabet which is a weird way to see it as they had an alphabet before that

1:46 ayyyyye i was waiting for Bulgaria to show up🕺🇧🇬

The numbers seem to be either arbitrary or a very thin stretch. Speaking of Ukraine, where I live, even if by far margin we recognize Zaporizh Cossack state as the predecessor of modern Ukraine (which it legally is not) that's still like 400 years old, not nearly 1100 as in the video. They seem to refer to Kievan Rus there, but that state has no political or hereditary connection to the modern Ukrainian state, only historical and cultural at most.

Iraq?

Yo Jack you Hit the 1 Million subs are you going to equatorialguinea now?

Jack please do these videos on the Stuff channel so you get more subscribers!

He puts so much effort into his videos❤😊

Proud to be an Armenian🇦🇲

Italy:am I a joke to you?!💀🇮🇹

2:10 Jack: We've gone up a thousand years

I love u jack❤🎉 u inspire me

Egyptian Mummy be like " thats nice 😄

Bril video jack!

When are you going to Equatorial Guinea now?

when your country comes and jack talks about a different subject: (croatia)

1:44 There is my little Dannebrog🥰🇩🇰🥰

Most of these countries is how long ago the original kingdom of each country was from then to now instead of how many years it has been unconquered/independent

2:34 This is for ancient Greece. It does not refer to the country of our time Greece, but to Hellas

Technically the oldest civilization in Greece is Minos and has existed since I think 4000bc(maybe 3000bc not 100% sure )

Greece is 3.000BC but the Minoans is 4.000BC-5.000BC and Crete is 5.000BC Athens is 3.000BC and Argos is 5.000BC Greece is the second oldest Country after Egypt 🥇🇪🇬 🥈🇬🇷 but oldest cities is 🥇🇬🇷 oldest language 🥇🇪🇬 🥈🇬🇷 history 🥇🇬🇷 🥈🇪🇬🇮🇹

hi, could you play ageography game on world geography games?

I love how it has the marvel theme song 😂

bro philippines is 50 million years old the archipelago was formed by volcanic eruptions. About 30,000 years ago the earliest inhabitants had arrived from the Asian mainland, perhaps over land bridges built during the ice ages.
