Well Roman empire went for around 1100 years and if you connect that one with the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire= another 1050 years) So combined total around 2200 years for the Roman Empire...thats probably the longist I can think of.

But the Egyptian culture went for about 3-400 years.

And then their are the Greeks, Sumarians, Assyrians and others but I'm not sure on the dates of those.

LOL.

Longest continuous nation state to achieve consistent hegemony over a large region would definitely be China.

There is just one answer:

Achaemenid Empire which ruled almost the entire known world for about 250 years!

There is not much support on this issue and if it had
been around for continunous of 2200 years, the full
language and writing character should have been
survived and widely used until today by at least 1/4 of
the earth population.

There are three ways to respond...

#1 Empires that ruled a significant proportion of the Globe..
Mongol
Spanish
English

but these didn't last very long.

#2 Empires that lasted a long time (with the odd gap).
Egypt (2900 years,  2950BCE 1st Dyn - 30BCE becomes Roman province)
Rome (2200 years,  753BCE first king - 1453CE fall Constantinople)
China (4000 years,  2100BCE Xia Dyn - 1911CE fall of Quin)

China probably doesn't count as there was a distinct change of location in some of the periods of forign rule.

#3 Longest more or less contiguous was Egypt (800 years for Early dynastic/Old Kingdom, 800  years for New Kingdom), or China (700 years united under Yuan, Ming and Quin).

If China is discounted because of periods of foreign rule, then so should Egypt. Its independence was breached by the Hyksos, the Assyrians, Persians, and Macedonians.

Great Roman empire did not last 1100 years, it last 31 b.c.-476 a.d. which is 497 years

In fact The Longest one is Ottoman 1299-1922

Why can we not say the Roman Empire lasted until 1453? The Eastern portion was a continuation of the Empire, with a monarchy whose line of succession stretched all the way to Augustus unbroken. They maintained the Late Antique urban culture, the religionof the Later Roman Empire, and its political and idelogical basis. Because of that we can say that Rome was effectively an Empire from about 212 BC (permanent hold in Spain) until it was extinguished in its last effective forms in 1453, 1458 abd 1461.

Someone is under the influence of Gibbon (and whoeverelse who does not think the Empire after 476AD deserves the name "Roman")

Edward Gibbon, how I despise him with his disdain for Byzantium and his sensational grasp over the English language. Edward Gibbon... how I despise you...

To get more specific about China, I believe the Chou Dynasty lasted some 771 years.

After 476, there was Byzantium empire

If it was not, then why in every topic u give it as a seperate and one of the strongest empires of the world???

They had commonly another military system, and had no any senate

They even had no many Roman names

This empire was great and reach becouse of Silk, but not trade and slavery as Roman

Rome was The FIRST empire, but wasn't the best

I think Arabian was more beautiful empire that was built on justice and respect
