World’s oldest pyramid' built 25,000 years ago was not made by humans, archaeologists claim
Researchers in Indonesia claim prehistoric pyramid could rewrite human historyWibbitz - News / VideoElephant While Guinness World Records officially lists the Djoser Step pyramid in Egypt as the world’s oldest pyramid (around 2,630 BC), one paper published in October claimed a layer of the Gunung Padang pyramid in Indonesia was constructed as far back as 25,000 BC – though there has since been doubts as to whether the structure was ever man-made at all. In research led by Danny Hilman Natawidjaja of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, and published in the journal Archaeological Prospection, the academics write that “the pyramid’s core consists of meticulously sculpted massive andesite lava” and that the “oldest construction” element of the pyramid “likely originated as a natural lava hill before being sculpted and then architecturally enveloped”. They write: “This study sheds light on advanced masonry skills dating back to the last glacial period. This finding challenges the conventional belief that human civilisation and the development of advanced construction techniques emerged only … with the advent of agriculture approximately 11,000 years ago. “Evidence from Gunung Padang and other sites, such as Gobekli Tepe [in Turkey], suggests that advanced construction practices were already present when agriculture had, perhaps, not yet been invented.”

Interesting info but still, first carbon tests for age of found items/pieces/shards. Then only possible to trust it.

Me being clean shaven makes me look like a bank robber!?!?!?
So recently I decided to go clean shaven, I was curious about what I looked like since it's been awhile since I've been clean shaven, and I was told that I look like the notorious bank robber baby face nelson (jokingly of course) but the more I think about it kinda see the resemblance 🤣🤣

They're doing renovations on a historical church in my neighborhood and have uncovered some super impressive pre-industrial masonry. Steilacoom was the first ever incorporated town in Washington State, doing so in 1854.
