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.

      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

    Never heard of the Nap of Horror in the Orkney Islands off the north of Scotland, Skara Brae however is a one of Britain's most fascinating prehistoric villages. Archeologists estimate it was built and occupied between 3000BCE and 2500BCE, during what's called the 'Neolithic era' or 'New Stone Age'.

    Also Petra of Jordanian is much older than Coloseum.
    Also you forgot Sphinx of Giza, Matsu Pitsu, the whole island of Delos, Delphi, gates of Hatusa and many others who existed for thousands of years before Coloseum.

    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).

    5. Solnitsata (Bulgaria, 5 500 BC)
    6. Durankulak (Bulgaria, 5 500-4 100 BC)
    tied 7. Barnenez (France, 4 800 BC)
    tied 7. Tumulus of Bougon (France, 4 800 BC)
    9. Saint-Michel tumulus (France, 4 500 BC)
    10. Anu ziggurat of Uruk (Iraq, 4 000-3 800 BC)
    11. Monte d'Accoddi (Italy, 4 000-3 650 BC)
    12. La Hougue Bie (Jersey, 4 000-3 500 BC)
    tied 13. Knap of Howar (Scotland, 3 700 BC)

    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.

      Great point…one of the problems with history, amongst many, is that , more times than not, is that it was written by the conquerors/rulers/vassals ; if the material is from “written” works then you have the problem of the “unreliable narrator”. I still think that there might be one or two more “Troys” out the just waiting for a ”H. Schliemann” to come along.

      ​@@doclewis8927 Since the "scientific" timeline is "theoretical", since their geological and historical timelines are contradicted by thousands of independent sources, documented in dozens of languages from all across our Earth while the fake biblical timeline of nearly 6,000 years is also contradicted by thousands of independent sources from all across our Earth, if you want to be intelligent and knowledgeable, review the voluminous evidence before taking a stand on how old time is - here on this Earth.
      You're free to believe what you want but since the 85 to 115 IQ's of geologists are uploaded online - by Psychologists - since the vast majority of geologists have the intellectual equivalent of smart grade school children ...
      Since the geologists' C average from low level institutions - with minimal entrance requirements - are also conspicuous, we know most of them barely squeaked by in their Chemistry, Biology and Calculus classes ... to believe in the timeline from the "scientific community" is not recommended.
      If you're unaware of these conspicuous facts, please go to your local college where you can take their academic placement test - and then listen carefully as your adolescent scores in "Comprehension" are explained to you.
      Since you've never cared about the truth to compile thousands of independent sources - in dozens of languages from all across our Earth - you're unaware that the true timeline for our Earth is documented, since you don't know the true timeline for humankind is also documented while you assume you do know, your self-aggrandizing delusional detachment from reality is exposed as a fraud - similar to this youtube uploader.
