Just curious on what "civilization" is based. If it is art then the caves of France from 28,000 BC would win hands down. If it is sculpture then Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe win

If it is writing and money and all the evils such as knowing good but especially evil in the world then it would have to be Sumeria
