Newgrange is a Stone Age (Neolithic) monument in the Boyne Valley, County Meath, it is the jewel in the crown of Ireland's Ancient East. Newgrange was constructed about 5,200 years ago (3,200 B.C.) which makes it older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids of Giza.

Newgrange was just a mound back in the 18th and 19th centuries, looking absolutely nothing like it does today. Totally excavated and then rebuilt with dubious external features. Take a look at old photographs to see what I mean. regards

[@Driver2616]

@@farmerpete6274 : As I understand it, nearly four and a half thousand years of disuse resulted in a natural collapse of the external white quartz wall of this tomb and then it just melted into the landscape until it appeared to be nothing more than a little hill covered in grass, weeds and other vegetation. The archaeologists excavated the white stone and reconstructed the L external wall during the 1960’s and 1970’s and brought it back to how it originally was. Inside there was no reconstruction. It remained intact, as it was built over five thousand years ago.

[@farmerpete6274]

@@Driver2616 Sorry, not quite right. The mound was completely excavated to the inner chamber, before being rebuilt, with concrete walls, complete with rebar. The 'lightbox' was also rebuilt using concrete and rebar. The reuse of the white stone was controversial as there was no evidence that such a wall existed, especiall around the entrance.

Read my comment on the Indus Valley ruins. Mankind originated in India. The people of India are a blend of all of the colored races, before they disbursed to their respective countries and regions. This was hundreds of thousands of years ago. The brick-making process was taught to them by the descendants of the original revelators of God to mankind, 500,000 years ago, in Mesopotamia. Their mission was to civilize mankind, but largely failed. Some of their descendants later migrated East to India, where much of the Indus Valley Civilization originated from, Including the Spoken and written language

Carbon dating is totally inaccurate for determining the age of a building. Or for that matter, much of anything else, unless the item in question was once alive. All it tells you is the age of the material that was used in the construction of the item in question. Nothing else. So if they carbon dated the stones used in the building, then they figured out how old the stones were. That doesn’t make the building that old. Stones that may be millions of years old could be used to build a building that’s FAR, FAR newer (obviously, as there weren’t any buildings, or people for that matter, around a million years ago).

As fun as it can be (for some people) to go through lists of things and/or items that concern history, I like those lists more when they come with at least a decent amount of factual basis. Naturally tolerant I'd let a few mishaps slide, but when dealing with the sun temple in Garni I finally felt I had no recourse but to correct you. The temple was dedicated to Mihr, an (surprise...) Armenian sun deity and not Helios. Which incidently is not a Roman sun deity, that more likely being Sol (Invictus), but a greek sun deity. That said, I still enjoyed it, even if it was just to see what such a list could deliver if there's plenty of room for improvement.

I'm with you. Maybe you remember the name of an ancient monolithic palace built atop a very high mountain in India somewhere (I think). It was featured on an Ancient Aliens episode focusing on monolithic sites too insane to comprehend, and I'd love to find online images. I'm a huge fan of all things ancient and antiquity. Netflix is often worthless except for sometimes unusual docs; Graham Hancock's "Ancient Apocalypse" is quite detailed, with places I'd never seen before. (I don't claim to know them all but love them all.) Tks.

What about oldest building lived in?

[@efs83dws]

A person. Four feet in the morning is a child crawling. Two feet at noon is a healthy person in the prime of life. Three feet is an old person using a cane to get around.

Very interesting. Thank you. However, aqueducts predate the Romans & recreations at Skara Brae indicate a sort of domed looking top that would allow residents to well exceed 5 feet tall.

A human being: who crawls as a baby, stands on two legs as an adult, and walks with a stick in old age. That's the answer to the riddle of the Sphinx.

[@shannonkeys8594]

Gobekli tepe was the first site to contain evidence of irrigation for crops and farming.

[@Shoey77100]

Gobeckli Tepe does not show any evidence of farming or irrigation, the people who built Gobeckli Tepe were hunter/gatherers, Klaus Schmidt proved that beyond a doubt.

[@shannonkeys8594]

@Stacey Shomaker Layer I Layer I is the uppermost part of the hill. It is the shallowest but accounts for the longest stretch of time. It consists of loose sediments caused by erosion and the virtually-uninterrupted use of the hill for agricultural purposes since it ceased to operate as a ceremonial center. Around the beginning of the 8th millennium BCE, Göbekli Tepe lost its importance. The advent of agriculture and animal husbandry brought new realities to human life in the area, and the "Stone-age zoo" (Schmidt's phrase applied particularly to Layer III, Enclosure D. Agriculture.

Archeology is redefining our knowledge of humanity for over 3 century now. Oceanic archeology is just beginning and when they'll find all the cities or building lost in the mediteranean, this will open our eyes once again. there are tons of underwater sites to be found, mostly because when the last Ice age ended and the ocean rised, costal buildings were lost to the ocean.

[@popguy2815]

The local climate for some of these locations was somewhat different from today thus how they worked isn't so obvious.
