Cities Older Than Their Countries

A fresh graphic maps out urban centers that have stood long before their current nations were even drawn on the map, pairing each spot with its national flag and a sketch of its most famous landmark. The breakdown kicks off in the Levant with Jericho, Damascus, Byblos, Aleppo, and Jerusalem, then sweeps across to Varanasi, Luxor, Giza, Memphis, Athens, Rome, Naples, Plovdiv, Sofia, Istanbul, Ankara, Paris, Lisbon, Cadiz, Seville, Baghdad, Erbil, Tehran, Isfahan, Sana'a, Mecca, Medina, Samarkand, Bukhara, Lahore, Multan, Taxila, Delhi, Patna, Madurai, Kanchipuram, Xi'an, Luoyang, Beijing, Nanjing, Kyoto, Nara, Seoul, Gyeongju, Mexico City, Cusco, Quito, Fez, Tunis, and Carthage. Every single entry sits under the main header Cities Older Than Their Countries with Data of Statistics listed right below it as the source context. The design keeps things simple and clean so you can see the history without any fluff. There is a small disclaimer at the very bottom stating this is not a complete list of all such cities in the world.
