“how old is a country” is almost nonsenscal. Constitutions have dates, countries are continuos fluid things. Ill illustrate with an example: How old is your family? do you go by your oldest relative, your last name, some ancient family tree, or do you go all the way to LUCA? it’s nonsensical.
My family is 12,025 years old, roughly.
kurzgesagt alternative calendar? OwO
Human Era heh
We’ll have to get into what makes a ‘nation’, but the Romanov Dynasty alone was ~300 years old. Political continuity between ruling houses does not denote a new national identity.
Are you trying to tell me that the screenshot of some post from some rando who writes super assertively is WRONG!?
Americans are dumb as feces.
Am American, can confirm.
New World vs Old World is so real. Am in North America, my love is from Europe. She casually has dusty books older then local archeological sites.
Why did they have to use the word “nation”? With that word being used, the comment is even more stupid. A nation doesn’t have to be a country…
Fun fact: the city I lived in before moving was established in 1776. The one I’m in now is almost a thousand years older. The country is just about the same age as the latter.
I’m from Denmark and the history of my city starts like this:
I oldtiden lå der et hedensk kultsted, indtil Roskilde Biskop Svend Nordmand opførte en stenkirke omkring år 1000.
translated means:
In ancient times there was a pagan cult site until Roskilde Bishop Svend Nordmand built a stone church around the year 1000.
It just so happens to be near Trelleborg, an old viking fortress, so the “pagan cult site” was viking settlement, but as it was the catholics that brought the written word, they got to write history.
I’m from Denmark
