There are of course towns much older - Jericho [to date the oldest of all], Megiddo and Hatzor for example, just within Israel; then towns around the south-eastern Euphrates are much older as are most of the ancient towns within today's Iraq, Egypt, Anatolia and Syria.

I must say that they were worth waiting for !! As for the new Jerusalem, I'm glad you left it for next time, and since you're going to be in Tel Aviv for a whole semester in 2009, we expect to you come and visit us in person :-) Priyank, I’m so glad that you’ve added the missing posts to your amazing trip – I was really waiting for them, having enjoyed the first few so much.
