There are many such cities despite the fact that they had to endure years of wars, epidemics, cataclysms, and so on. Moreover, even more cities died under the pressure of external circumstances. For the territory of the former Russia, one can single out such great cities as Novgorod, Pskov, Kiev, Moscow, and so on. Many such settlements remain in foreign countries. For example, such cities are those that gave us a special civilization. These are Athens and Rome. Yes, even the very first cities live now – these are Jericho, Damascus and others.
