    Hi Randy.  For continuously inhabited, a lot of cities claim that right.  Many people think it's Jericho.  Others believe it's, Byblos, Damascus, Aleppo, Delhi, or various others  So, if you get a definitive answer from someone, this should be interesting.

     I'm not sure that counts. 

    Ok, here's a side question: Betty or Wilma?

    Like the thought of it isn’t giving you wood.

    According to you, practically everything gives me wood!  The wind could blow and I'd be fit to be tied.

    (By the way, Lyr, I don't suppose you could arrange to be at my place along with Betty and Wilma at about 11 pm this Friday, could you?   Shhhhhhhhhh!)

    Ur, Accad or Jericho, depending on which anthropologist you're reading.

    No, no, no, no! Intercourse (PA) is first (if you're traveling to the northeast) and Middlesex (township, PA) is between the two.

    This is one of those questions that is impossible to answer. However, I'm all for Bedrock like LyricalOne has stated.

    Eridu is a contender. As is Ur, already mentioned.
