Answer 1

AnswerWell, if the answer is to based in and upon geology and not the stories, mythology, and patent lies handed down through the literature of Christian, Judaic, and Islamic texts, the oldest rivers in the world are the Finke, Australia and and the ironically named New in the USA Appalachians.

The method, in its very simplest form, examines the rocks through which a river cuts. More specifically, tectonic activity serves to raise mountains while rivers serve to conserve their paths to the sea. Rivers erode much more quickly that mountains can rise. The Finke and New cut across ranges of comparable (>350 million year) ages. This erosive history seems to indicate that the rivers were entrenched before the mountains began to rise. So, the New and Finke are old. Each has a similar minimalage of ~350-400 million years along its present general course.

Answer 2
