I'm happy this guy came from the future to assure us there won't be any global disaster this decade. I can finally relax.

I´m surprised Teotihuacan reached to be the biggest city in the world once. Greeting from Mexico :)

[saifsaif]

I am from Iraq, Mesopotamia, the first to make the city and civilization 👋🇮🇶✌🦁🥇

My city has 7, 000 inhabitants (2024). <3 I'd rather live in a small town than a mega city. Clean air, almost 0 traffic and seeing the sky, birds, grass, trees, green fields is more important to me. <3

For those wondering why tokyo isn't at the top is because they are only including urban populations.

[leopardking]

The fact that Jakarta and Manila isn't here makes me wonder where this information came from? Bro travelled in the past and future to get those census

[WilliamSmith-ppqp]

Being from Newcastle (UK) it was mental to see my home city pop up at one point

[nishi]

I like how some cities are counted include the metropolitan population around it while some cities are just given a single part of the city

[aswinsai]

Istanbul is the most consistent city in this list

Teotihuacan and Tenochtitlan in Mexico were the largest cities in the world before 1512

Super interesting. But in reality, what constitutes a “city” ? For my home town, Paris, you have at least 3 definitions : 1) Paris, as we say, “intra-muros”, i.e. the 20 “arrondissements” of Paris, 2) the “petite couronne”, “small crown” of contiguous cities around Paris, and 3) the “grande couronne”, “larger crown” of cities that fall within the strong attraction of the capital. Depending on the definition you get from 2 million to probably around 12 million people…

Glad to see 5 Big Cities from Pakistan. Mohenjo Daro and Harrapa, Indus Valley Civilization existed 5, 000 years ago, and had two to three stories houses, paved streets, plumbing system, communal bath houses, and latrine toilets, over 5, 000 years ago. Also Lahore is an ancient City and long with Taxila, still populated and both founded 1, 000 B.C. Now Lahore has population of around 10 Million. It's amazing.

How is Pakistan a different country before 1947? Where is the freaking logic in this?

[Nilesh_Chavan]

Bro harappa and mohan jodaro from india not pakistan 😂😂😂

[SquidProQuo]

I'm shocked that Teotihuacan made it on here but not Tenochtitlan in the early 1500s which the Spanish described as being larger than any European city. Estimates put the city at around 200, 000 inhabitants before the arrival of the Spanish.

[rajivmurkejee]

So, Belize once had the world's biggest city.
Can't see that happening again anytime soon

[stoopidpaki]

At 2, 500 BC *Mohenjo Daro* makes it's entry followed by *Harappa* which is adjacent to my village. *Pakistan* Zindabad 🇵🇰 PK🇵🇰 PK🇵🇰 PK 🇵🇰 PK🇵🇰 PK🇵🇰 PK🇵🇰 PK🇵🇰 PK🇵🇰
