What Is the Oldest Building in the World?

The earliest known structure built by manlike creatures is a circle of stone blocks that was found in Africa. This "structure" may have been erected as long ago as 1,750,000 B.C.!

The earliest known buildings, a series of huts containing fireplaces, were recently discovered in France. However, all that remains of these buildings are their outlines on the ground. That's not surprising, for they may have been constructed as early as 120,000 B.C.

The oldest buildings still standing today were unearthed on the island of Malta in the Mediterranean. They are temples made of limestone slabs, and were probably built before 3000 B.C.

As for remains, there's part of a tower in the city of Jericho, in Israel, that dates back to around 5000 B.C.
