hunger stones in the rivers

Low water stage marks on hunger stones: verification for the Elbe from 1616 to 2015

Abstract. This paper deals with the issue of documenting hydrological drought with the help of drought marks (DMs) which have been preserved on dozens of hunger stones (HSs) in the river channel of the Elbe in Bohemia and Saxony. So far, the hunger stones have been regarded rather as an...

'Spanish Stonehenge' emerges from drought-hit dam

Spains worst drought in decades has led to the emergence of a prehistoric stone circle in a dam whose waterline has receded.

It’s about 2000 years older. Ever been to Malta? They had a bit of a thing for Neolithic temples

3100BC is pre-dynastic kings of upper and lower Egypt before unification - people got around too, eg Berber population and Sardinians have high rates of early Anatolian farmer genetics which headed west from 6500-5000BC and hit these shores about 4500-4000BC (see monument building explosion thereafter, eg Newgrange)

Older than the Henge, you mean? Well that depends on which stage of the monument you're talking about, surely? But sure, the current configuration dates from about 1700 BC, summat like that.

Not been to Malta but would love to. Hagar Qim is meant to be spectacular.

Lol, 'qim'.

I've seen a ton of these, but this one's pretty good.

This is fucking amazing - an apparently artificial wooden structure from nearly half a million years ago.

Half-million-year-old wooden structure unearthed in Zambia

Ancient timber preserved in a riverbed suggests humans were building wooden structures 500,000 years ago.

New evidence strongly suggests Indonesia's Gunung Padang is oldest known pyramid

Retraction Note: The research article "Geo‐archaeological prospecting of Gunung Padang buried prehistoric pyramid in West Java, Indonesia," originally published in the Archaeological Prospection, has been retracted.

In studying all their data, the research team found what they describe as clear evidence showing that the Gunung Padang was made mostly by human hands. The also found evidence showing that the structure was built in stages, thousands of years apart. And, they found that the older parts of the structure were made sometime between 25,000 and 14,000 years ago, making it the oldest known pyramid in the world today.

More specifically, the researchers found evidence of several efforts that together over time, added up to a completed structure. The first consisted of sculpted lava—where builders had carved shapes onto the top of a small, dead volcano. Then, several thousand years later, sometime between 7900 to 6100 BCE, another group added a layer of bricks and rock columns. Some unknown time later, another group added a dirt layer to part of the hill, covering some of the earlier work. Then sometime between 2000 and 1100 BCE yet another group added more top soil, stone terracing, and other elements.

Wasn't this the one featured in that recent documentary everyone was shitting on, Ancient Apocalypse? It was also very popular on Netflix, so maybe the shitters-on were in the minority.

These people are being funded by ExxonMobil or BP, aren't they? It's the only possible explanation.
