Well when you think of age and history, how about a city built around 7500 BC. Today I visited Catalhoyuk, discovered on a hill in 1961 near the city of Gunesinir in mid Western Turkey. The city is the oldest city yet discovered in the world and now a World Heritage Site. The intriguing part of viewing the city ruins is the many, 16 total, layers of each evolution of cities in time that were built upon each other! The ruins are still under archaeological work. This tedious work will go on for many years in the future exposing more and more of the city.
