What is the oldest man-made structure in the world ?

The Maltese Temples

You've probably already done this, but - if not - try a Google search using "oldest man-made structure". You'll be offered over 1200 sites and - looking just at the first page or two - there is a whole raft of contenders including the idea that an under-ice anomaly in Antarctica might be something man-made!

Depends on your definition. Do you mean �still standing today� or just archaeological evidence of the oldest �man made / artificial� structure found? If the latter then it could be Terra Amata in France, or the shelter at Chichibu near Tokyo.

All the above are wrong. Its definatly my garden shed.

still wrong,its Frosty the snowman!!!!!

Many thanks everyone. With global warming I don't expect Frosty the Snowman to be around much longer ! The pub brains trust didn't specify whether the structure should still exist or not but I shall report back to it at our next Real Ale soaked meeting.
Into which category does your shed belong, horsestache 1 ?
