STILL STANDING | The Oldest Buildings in the World That Refused to Fall | 4K Documentary

Before humans even knew how to write, they had already built structures that are still standing today. This 4K documentary visits 30 of the oldest buildings and structures in the world, from Göbekli Tepe and the Tower of Jericho, built more than 10,000 years ago, to the Pyramid of Djoser, Stonehenge, Newgrange and the Great Pyramid of Giza. Civilizations rose and disappeared, empires collapsed and cities were buried under sand, yet these ancient structures survived earthquakes, looting and thousands of years of wind and rain. We look at how people without metal tools, wheels or mortar moved stones weighing tens of tons, aligned temples with the sun and built towns that still stand, and at the mysteries no one has solved yet. In this film: - Göbekli Tepe, Türkiye: the oldest known place of worship on Earth - Tower of Jericho: the oldest tower, built more than 10,000 years ago - Çatalhöyük, Türkiye: a 9,000-year-old town with no streets - Barnenez, France: the oldest megalithic structure in Europe - Newgrange, Ireland: 5,000 years watertight and lit by the winter sunrise - Mohenjo-daro and Dholavira: ancient cities with drains, wells and the oldest public bath - Pyramids of Giza, Djoser and Meroë, Karnak, Abu Simbel and Edfu - Skara Brae and the Knap of Howar, Scotland: stone houses older than the pyramids ▶ Watch next: Ancient Wonders Built With Knowledge Far Ahead of Their Time: https://youtu.be/-dUUbdatwug Impossible Places: Mysterious Wonders That Defy Logic: https://youtu.be/xCq4pI6lUU0 URBAN HELLS | Life in the Most Disgusting Places on Earth: https://youtu.be/2ShGongyAls Which of these ancient structures would you most like to stand in front of, and which one do you think is the most impressive?
