Shangyang was a legendary Chinese university, the rough estimate of the date is approx 21st century BC. Takshila, Nalanda, and Ratnagiri were some of the most famous ancient Indian universities [some of them were established centuries before Christ was born], Al Azhar was an Islamic university, established sometime in the 9th century AD and predated the first Chritian-Era European university by almost 2 centuries.
