Isn't Jerhico about 8,000 years old, or 6,000 BC?

[Jimmy Valentine]

Here is where the rules get sketchy. I think and please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but to qualify a civilization has to have a central government, be stable, i.e. non-nomadic, have a written as well as a spoken language and a defined culture.

[Lynne]

Thanks. I don't know much about it, but I recall seeing pictures of one of Jerhico's brick or stone structures. I would think you would need some kind of cultural organization to build that kind of structure.
