One could also argue is that a building as such or rather is it a tomb. It is a type of building but this wasnt built for the living but rather for the dead. The difference with a lot of those other sites is that they were designed for the living. I would say that for me this is maybe one of the oldest surviving tomb like structures. Stonehenge for example I would classify as a religious type of building.
i hope the maire who used stones from the cairn to build his road was appropriately punished. perhaps using the classic french instrument for the purpose of dispatching people during the French Revolution.
And gobekli tepe predates this by thousands of years so, nice try, but your wrong! Since you include stonehenge in the comparators it must be included in this list and is undoubtedly an order of magnitude older and in my opinion Much more impressive.
One can argue that a 'building' is anything that is built lol The technicality could be defined as a 'built shelter' tho 'built' would rule out anything that isn't, and 'shelter' would rule out anything that doesn't have walls or a roof. but then again.....beavers can build dams an burrows so those would technically be considered buildings too......language is a tricky subject....where do you draw the lines when nothing is totally defined?
They might actually be ‘birthing chambers’ - the kinks in the passage of approach suggests the real possibility of ‘collimating’ - presumably Venusian - light and most probably on the 22 December the winter solstice. The real (and dramatic) effects of collimating light are described in Knight & Lomas’ book ‘Uriel’s Machine’.
That was a shock. I clicked on the thumbnail without looking too hard at it , for some reason thinking it was an episode of Rare Earth. Tim's Hello! was therefore quite surprising even though I've heard it many times :D
In 10 years time you'll find a little bit of India in Italy as the special relationship India and Italian develops. Somewhere in the Italian alps a little Shringar.
As a Belgian, I sometimes find myself nostalgically thinking that our country used to be simpler. Thank you for reminding me that it has always been fucked.
A doctorate in archeology is worth less than the paper its written on. One of the most dogmatic branches of science, and therefore not worthy of being considered a science at all.
One thing that I was left wondering after watching this is "why cherrypick buildings"? I mean, these ruins are amazing, but so are the ones in Turkey. No need to make a tournament out of that.
I'm a bit late, but I believe a french train enthusiast channel called "Le Ferrovipathe" made a video about the actual least used station on the SNCF network, called "Base Aérienne" on the Blanc-Argent railway, which barely has a platform and welcomes a whooping total of "0" travellers per year. (actually the train driver says some people get off there sometimes, pedantry corner)
BRILLIANT choice of music at the 5:50 mark!! "It’s hard to stay up; it’s been a long, long day and you’ve got the sandman at the door But hang on, leave the TV on and lets do it anyway It’s okay, you can always sleep through work tomorrow Okay, hey, hey Tomorrows just your future yesterday"

All the talk and not a word about LESS POLUTION and LESS NOISE from internal combustion engine pollution= pollution in english and in french Have a great day Tim 🌞
That reminded me of the 1995 film "The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain" (very funny). In that case, they considered man-made structures, provided they were permanent.
I live across the lake from campione and we would never consider campione becoming part of Switzerland. It’s very different. Mainly full of Eastern Europeans, Ukrainians and Russians.
Could the remaining if Jericho or Göbekli Tepe - both reliably dated to circa 10,000 BC - be older ? Submerged cities off the coast of and southeast coast of India can be dated by ocean levels to perhaps even older than that.
1st of all , the oldest building in the world is a pyramid , and this building you show is also a pyramid ... secondly , at 5.000bc there where cities ... ok ok i got it , ARGUABLY you are a nerd with wrong on your mind , enjoy it you cant argue with an idiot , he will bring you on his lvl and win over because he plays in homecourt ... i just found out the most stupid youtuber in here , ARGUABLY is "the tim traveller " , i know there might be even more stupid persons than poor tim but as i said , ARGUABLY he takes the crown ... ebjoy

My guess is that there must be a building along the oldest parts of the great wall of China. The oldest parts of the great wall are far older than this and the buildings are buildings, not tombs or monuments. Sure they are military outposts but still for living human habitation
Actually the preservation of old buildings is almost totally due to modern tastes and sensibilities. In times past people simply demolished buildings that had become outdated or out of fashion. The possible exceptions were sacred sites. When a palace became old and out of date you simply demolished it and built one that conformed to the new tastes of the time. Conservation was not a thing. In the course of history for example many of those rather rustic looking early Medieval churches were given either a baroque or renaissance makeover which we would find totally inappropriate today. Those that survived these "assaults" were generally in places that could not afford to "update" them and left them the way they were.
