A3: Wiltshire’s Avebury Stone Circles (erected between 2850BC and 2200BC) are the largest Neolithic henge monument in Britain. So big, in fact, that Stonehenge could fit inside them 130 times over! #TRLT

A3: Avebury, 5000+ years old. The largest stone circle, the largest prehistoric mound and one of the longest burial mounds in the British Isles; one of the largest settlements of the early Neolithic period; and one of the longest avenues of standing stones. @RTWBarefoot #TRLT

#trlt A3: at the end of May I was in the Orkney Islands and wandered close to some stone circles and sunken houses dating from the 3000s BC.

A3: The ‘sacred city’ of Choga Zanbil in Iran is an ancient Elamite complex dating from around 1340BC. Founded by the Elamite king as Elam’s religious centre and was home to several temples dedicated to the god Inshushinak. #TRLT

A3. This is not so ancient but it feels older than it is because it was there before all the western development in Hawaii. #trlt 🗺: https://t.co/tq8KO7OBwB

A3: I honestly don't know. I'm sure I've seen much older than the Parthenon, but that is all I can think of right now. #TRLT https://t.co/XsN4iwM9rs

A3: How about Göbekli Tepe in Turkey? This is the world’s oldest religious sanctuary and has turned our idea of history upside down! While we once thought that agriculture led to civilisation, its intricately carved pillars suggest otherwise… #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @RTWBarefoot A3) Not sure which is the oldest but in the Flagstaff/Sedona region of Arizona you can visit a number of prehistoric Native American ruins. #TRLT

#trlt A3: Hagar Qim, in Malta, is also one of the oldest buildings in the world, although quite a bit is reconstructed so YMMV!
BradtGuides
A3: Maltas’s megalithic temples are some of the oldest stone buildings in the world and by far the most sophisticated. Erected during the 4th and 3rd millennium BC, each magnificent complex offers a unique insight into Malta’s prehistoric culture. #TRLT

A3. These standing stones are the prehistoric Bodach and Cailleach on Gigha (#InnerHebrides surprise, surprise) - thought to represent a man and woman. Similarly to most standing stones around Scotland (and elsewhere), we really don't know how old they are. #trlt

A3: Estimated to be at least 5,000 years old, Las Geel in Somaliland is home to some of the most impressive rock art anywhere in the world. It comprises about a dozen individual painted shelters that can be seen from miles away! #TRLT

#Kakadu @NT_Australia with paintings up to 20K years old are some of the oldest in existence - the skeletal form of lightning man is my particular favourite #TRLT A3

A3. The rock carving at the summit of Schiehallion probably isn't that old, but across the area there's countless carved + etched stones left by the Picts + as a probable pre-literate culture, we really don't know that much about them #TRLT
