No, the first civilization did not appear in Timbuktu, Africa. The earliest known civilization, often referred to as Sumer, emerged in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) around 3500 BCE. Timbuktu, while historically significant as a center of trade and learning during the Mali Empire, developed much later, around the 12th century CE.

Africa
Timbuktu in northern Mali, on the edge of the Sahara desert has had a long-lasting scholastic contribution to Islamic and world civilization. (Timbuktu is assumed to have had one of the first universities in the world, with 25,000 students back in the 1400s. Local scholars and collectors still boast an impressive collection of ancient Greek texts from that era.) It was known to early European culture and gained the status of a fabled city at the far end of the world - in the middle of the Sahara desert (and almost impossible to get to!). Thus the phrase "as far as Timbuktu" came to mean or indicate a place that is unimaginably far away, completely foreign, or unreachable - at the other end of the earth.
