Mark Twain deemed this city “older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together"?

Mark Twain had it right, as Varanasi is one of the world's oldest surviving cities. The holy city is believed to be home to Lord Shiva and the Goddess Parvati, so it's no wonder Varanasi is "old as time". If you die there, you automatically earn eternal salvation.
