Cities in the world before 1 AD - with map

Can you name every city in the world to have existed somewhere between 1 AD and 3700 BC. The source I've used is far from comprehensive and doesn't include every city in the world at that time. But includes many of them. This also has something to do with evidence of some cities has been destroyed during war or simply just vanished into nature.

Constantinople was named after the emperor Constantine who lived in the 4th century AD. If the city existed BC, it must have been called something else.

The source for your cited source says: "our dataset has a number of limitations including temporal and spatial sparseness and is far from comprehensive". Thus, the claim that this includes "every city in the world before 1 A.D." doesn't seem to be valid.
