Ancient cities over ten thousand years old.

"To us, the pyramids of Egypt are very ancient. However, already in times of ancient Egypt, for example, the reign of King Tut, the pyramids were seen as remnants of ancient times. The Pyramids (of Egypt) date back (according to Egyptologists) to around 4,500 to 4,700 years ago, but there are cities on Earth that were built more than 10,000 years ago. In other words, there’s evidence of ancient settlements on Earth that predate the oldest of Egyptian pyramids by more than 5,000 years.

Mankind has built complex cities on Earth during a time when history as we know it was still not being recorded.

The oldest of pyramids on the surface of the planet are not those in Egypt. According to researchers, the oldest pyramids ever built date back to around 5,000 years ago and were erected in present-day Brazil. Peru also has some of the oldest pyramids on Earth, which were erected in the city-state of Caral.

Mainstream history tells us that in Egypt, pyramids were built starting around 4,700 BC, during the Third Dynasty reign of Pharaoh Djoser. He is believed to have commissioned to so-called Step Pyramid at Saqqara.

Despite claims that the Step Pyramid at Saqqara is the oldest pyramid in Egypt, and that the pyramids of South America date back to around 5,000 years ago, proving their exact age is nearly impossible, mostly became the structures are so old, and the people who built them decided–for reasons that remain unclear–not to record their construction process.

Just as it is nearly impossible to identify the models of pyramids on Earth, identifying the oldest city on the planet is equally a struggle. Such is the hassle at distinguishing the oldest city of all that the term isn’t even properly defined." Read the free article.
