1. Gobekli Tepe, Turkey Found in 1994, Gobekli Tepe dates back to 9500 BC making it over 11,000 years old and therefore the oldest temple known to man. In over 20 years since its discovery only around 5% of the site has been uncovered, even so, more than 200 pillars forming 20 circles have been discovered to date, each pillar with a height of up to 20ft and weighing up to 10 tons each, posing the question, How did they move, craft and position these huge pillars with their intricate carvings, thousands of years before metal tools, pottery or even the wheel had been invented?

2. Skara Brae, Scotland. A severe storm in the winter of 1850 uncovered this Real-life hobbit town in the Bay of Skaill, Scotland. 10 closely knit, underground houses, each containing a large room around 430 sqft big, with a stone hearth for cooking and heating, stone beds and cupboards, and turf roofs to keep the elements out and the occupants warm. This underground village dates back to around 3000 BC and was home to approximately 50 people which is possibly why it had its own primitive toilet and drain system which could flush waste out of the settlement, off the cliff, and into the sea below.

3. Teotihuacan, Mexico. 5000-year-old toilets are cool, but if you want to see crazy inexplicable ancient technology, Teotihuacan is the place to go. This massive ancient city measures 32 sq miles that's about the size of the city of Miami. It started as a group of small villages around 500 BC but by 350 AD it was a bustling city with complex urban planning and sectioning depending on a person's station and over 125,000 inhabitants known as "People of the Feathered Serpent". These people were master craftsmen who created architectural wonders such as the Pyramids of the sun and the moon and the Temple of the feathered serpent. Then around 700 AD Teotihuacan was either attacked or suffered a civil war or some other unknown disaster and the mysterious People of the Feathered Serpent simply disappeared.

4. Nan Madol, Micronesia Someone once said that a wise man builds his house on a rock, well Coral's a rock, right? comment below! Well, this ancient city is built entirely on a coral reef and dates back to around the 9th century. The city itself is approximately a mile long and a third of a mile wide and is formed by almost 100 artificial islets formed by coral and stone and separated by canals, The central part of the city was reserved for nobility and the surrounding areas were for commoners who brought food and water and other supplies to the island.
