Question
Whats the oldest man made structure in the world that still stands?
Answer
They are underwater, but in Japan there are possible ruins claimed by some to go back to BCE, though they are disputed as to whether they are man made or not.brbrhttpwww.cyberspaceorbit.comphikentjabrbrAlso in Japan is evidence of the worlds oldest known structure, though post holes dont really make much of a building. They are from about , years ago.brbrhttpnews.bbc.co.ukhiscitechabrbrIn Malta there is the Neolithic temple of Hagar Qim, dated to around BCE, and the Hypogeum there dated around BCE.brbrhttplouishenwood.comhistoryno.htmabrbrStonehenge dates to around BCE.brbrThe oldest pyramid is the Djoser Step Pyramid at Saqqara, Egypt, was constructed by Imhotep Djosers royal architect c. BCEbrbrSo if you want standing man made objects, its Stonehenge, if you want a building its the Pyramid, oldest evidence is Japan.brbrEDIT good call on Newgrange but it predates earliest still standing pyramid by about years or so, not . Still a good find though
