Some of these buildings are FAR from being the oldest ...Half of Rome is older than the Colosseum

Yikes. The inaccuracies in this video are beyond remarkable..

Newgrange in Ireland, about 700 years older than the pyramids. It’s even a UNESCO site.

This should be titled "15 Interesting Old buildings" as its not remotely the 15 oldest. The coliseum wouldn't even crack the oldest 500 buildings. But I guess this content provider is stuck with its brand....

It would be nice to have this story told in chronological order. The Colosseum would be the last instead of the first few stories.

Sphinx’s riddle is a Human - crawling in the morning (as a baby 4), walking in the afternoon (as an adult 2), using a cane in the evening (as an elder 3). First person to answer this in Greek Mythology was Oedipus

A mention to Akrotiri Santorini Greece. Destroyed by volcanic eruption around 1600 BC. Excavations revealed two floor buildings, sewers, wall paintings etc.etc

Nice video but rather superficial and the title is highly misleading. Only two of these buildings, Göbekli Tepe and the Tower of Jericho, are among the 15 oldest in the world.
The actual list of 15 oldest (known) buildings in the world are, according to wikipedia:
1. Göbekli Tepe (Turkey, 10 000-7 000 BC)
2. Tower of Jericho (Palestine, 7 500 BC)
3. Çatalhöyük (Turkey, 7 500–5 700 BC)
4. Mehrgarh (Pakistan, 7 000 BC)
5. Solnitsata (Bulgaria, 5 500 BC)
6. Durankulak (Bulgaria, 5 500-4 100 BC)
tied 7. Barnenez (France, 4 800 BC)
tied 7. Tumulus of Bougon (France, 4 800 BC)
9. Saint-Michel tumulus (France, 4 500 BC)
10. Anu ziggurat of Uruk (Iraq, 4 000-3 800 BC)
11. Monte d'Accoddi (Italy, 4 000–3 650 BC)
12. La Hougue Bie (Jersey, 4 000–3 500 BC)
tied 13. Knap of Howar (Scotland, 3 700 BC)
tied 13. Ġgantija (Malta, 3 700 BC)
tied 13. Dolmen of Menga (Spain, 3 700 BC)

The answer is man. As an infant he crawls on all four. As a young man he walks on two legs. As an old man he walks with a cane, which represents a third leg.

Every time I hear or even read the name 'Karnak' I can't help but think of Johnny Carson and giggle a little. Yeah, I'm older.

Very interesting. I love historical finds and emerging a lot about them. You can say I’m a history nerd is this find is that there on the fast I wanna know more about it. I never knew existed until now. Thank you.

laurahoffman

i believe that Colosseum is rather new for this list. Also, you skipped many older things to rich it. For example everything about bronze age and classical Greece (Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi, the Acropolis etc), or Stonehenge in U.K. etc.

I've been to the Gjigantia Temples in Malta, and the Colosseum in Rome. Both places were absolutely fascinating to see in person and touch. I would love to visit all of these places some day. I learned about some of them in this video! Very interesting.

I have only been to Masada (lifelong dream realised in 2008) and The Coliseum (2017). Enjoyed them and would love to see all of the others. I think what blows me away about ancient sites is that ... everyone has seen (roughly) the same thing for all these years. With allowances for erosion and (unfortunately) vandalism, we have all looked at the same thing.

I've been to the Pyramid of Giza and as you mentioned, though looking at a picture of it is incredible, you don't really get to see the sheer scale of it. Standing next to it left me in awe.

It's not Gnossis, It's KNOSSOS! Please check your facts! It's very a well known archeological site in the island of Crete, Greece.

Been to Karnak and Luxor Temples in the 80s and are still beautiful sites.

Man first crawls on all fours, walks on two legs, then uses a cane at the end
