Out of the Egyptian, Chinese, Mesopotamian, and Indus River Valley civilizations, which had the greatest longevity?

Wouldn't the answer be the Chinese civilization?
 
No, it was Egyptian. Egypt lasted the longest and was the most protected from foreign invasion until 1700 BC with the invasion of Hyksos. The boundary of the desert gave the Egypt advantage over Mesopotamia or Hindus valley. Every civilization around Levant and Mesopotamia lasted about 70-100 years and was violently destroyed. Do people know about kingdom of Mani, Elan or Urartu? Assyrian, the most powerful of the Mesopotamian kingdoms lasted only 70 years and so did following Babylonian one. China, while inhabited for thousands of years, did not really consolidate into civilization when many of the ancient ones perished thousand years early. First consolidated Chinese state was in 3rd century BC. The push to prove that China was 3000 BC as civilized as Egypt or Mesopotamia is false history and being aggressively spread by modern historians admiring anything Chinese and Chinese government propaganda. You cannot back any Chinese claim with archeology nor writings. You can back Egyptian! While Egypt was on course of many its passing dynasties, and had left writings, buildings, and religion, Chinese civilization of that time is still enshrined by mythology. Myth versus real civilization that you can touch and see with your own eyes.
