7. Ggantija Temples
The Ggantija Temples are the most popular heritage site in Malta, and a lot of work has gone into restoring their structural integrity. Ggantija Temples in Xaghra, Gozo, are one of the most important archaeological sites in the world and date from around 3600 to 3200 BC. This megalithic monument is in fact two temples, built side by side and enclosed within a boundary wall.

5: Talk about being Butt-hurt. And still we are to believe that India is free if neo Nazis?
Newsflash!! Other countries outside India does exists. I know it's a remarkably and unshockingly gross fact as anything outside India has to be Pakistan for Indians.
And when talking about Harappa... It's not an Indian, but a Pakistani civilization.
You can't fucking boycott a country and then all of a sudden start licking it's ass for the sake of recognition of ancient pride.
There is no credible evidence than old temples in India are older than the temples mentioned here (again, I m sorry that it's incompatible with the ideas of proud patriotic neo Nazis of India)
And Hinduism? Bahahahahaha!!
Shamanism in ancient America, Druidism in ancient Britain, etc... Are older... Much older than any branch of Hinduism which came to life in the 14th century... Before that only parts of it were alive. Vedic Hinduism even started after 3000 BCE.
Not to mention the invasion of India by an alleged Persian group.
On top of that... Harappan civilization is one of the fewest in the world that didn't have any POLITICAL standing or ANY RELIGIOUS TEMPLES.
No temples heave been discovered as of yet... None. Harappa was an Anarchist civilization, which existed in perfect harmony.
So to summarize, neither Indian civilization (which is actually a Pakistani civilization, unless you have reached new definitions n levels of hypocrisy) isn't the oldest nor is Hinduism oldest in the world.
This list is more than justified.
Plus who knows? with the recent push on the Indian culture, some fuckwads might even get offended when a temple with bestiality like the Konarak or Khujaraho are listed.
Nothing can please these neo fascist Indians. Nothing.

9: Just to point out, Pakistan was part of India before the partition. The Harrapan civilization is said to have Dravidian roots as well. It's a culture, obviously it would surmise all sorts of ethnicity as trade existed even in Neolithic times. And just because they haven't been able to decipher the symbols on signboards that exist at the Harrapan sites, they cannot ascertain that the structures were prayer halls or not. There is absolutely no proof of it being an Anarchist civilization either. But deities found at the excavation sites bear a resemblance to fertility goddesses and lord Rudra who garners mention in the Rig Veda.

12: If Stonehenge is a temple then Amazon Rainforest is the oldest country..
Stonehenge is a rounded area with no sense of direction. Temples are usually (if not, always) shaped rectangular/angular with one side signifying something or pointing east (sunrise)...or North Star.or..some other natural phenomena. The only thing a rounded site signifies is that a center and a center has no sense of direction. A rounded site is more likely to be used for an event or ritual because it offers a better view.
Oldest temples under a fully institutionalized religion had to be in India since Hinduism is the oldest religion. Ancient people of Indus Valley had access to natural resources unlike any other cultures... including Egyptians and Sumerians.
Any religious site found in Harappa or Mahenjo Daro ruins should be considered the oldest temple. I was not a firm believer of this until I read about Harrappa

The stone hedge was an unfinished structure, which they left uncompleted, or it would have been one of the most beautiful and oldest civilized structure made.
Temple is a place for worship. The Egypt doesn't have any temples that u mentioned here, they were just tombs.
The oldest temple is still India, around Andhra Pradesh. Few of your scientists have already found just 10% of it , rest is still under that earth in series of calamities which took a big civilization around 15000 b.c. The records were found
Kept in nalandha vidayalaya before the pepole from mangole attacked and destroyed. My ancestors told me that someday someone is going to find this...its not very far

The evidence suggests Varanasi began about 12th century B.C. this does not make it the oldest city in the world after Babylon. The temple in Turkey is by far the oldest structure yet found. These are simply facts based on the evidence to do otherwise is whimsical.

62: Most of the oldest of temples have been rebuild - few examples are Lord Jagannath Temple - it is believed that it was a Buddha Shrine, Konark Temple - which was older than Puri Temple had a bigger temple structure before it was built by the maharanas of kalinga. Konark is not just a temple. It is has wheels that work as sun clock and the intrinsic designs in the wheels can serve as an almanac. I am sure there are many more older temples in India as well. Bhubaneswar is one of the oldest cities in the world with a histroy that predates most of the civilizations. It has a written history of 2000 years and it existed before the birth of Rishdev/Adinath, the first Jaina tirthankara..

You should at least wiki it, if not read more about it.
Also, its sites have been built over multiple times before the currently surviving ruins, suggesting a far older origin.
What a pity the river saraswati dried up, Otherwise it might have been there during the time of alexander(330BC) and THEN IT WOULD HAVE APPEARED IN YOUR HISTORY.
Follow your own advice. Study history. Not just partial, subtitled, tidbits of history. ALL OF IT.

90: Please note that the worshipping places are temples. A stone over another stone back few thousands of years is also a temple. The temples should not be confused with parks,museums,tombs,large public places where even religious gathering take place. In that count, India has many old Vishnu temples baring shiv temples as lateral edition of temples including Jyothir Lingams. Most of them came in 300 because to 300 ad are old enough to be called temples of first phase. But when it comes the worshipping place, the purusottam khetra , is the oldest one and the presiding deity. Is lord purusottam as explained in Vedic letarture. No temple is supported so far by Veda. Sahitya . It is also one among the four dhams for Hindus called jagannath dham followed by other three as ram nath, Badri nath, dwarka nath..Hindu mythology is the reference but Hindu,s dharma grants Veda says so.it has taken all other religions to its preview. starting from Shankar, ramanand, Nanak, Ganapati Bhatta,, Tantra experts owned it. Example of universal cult

91: All above references are temples by their anatomy.some temples initially do not have it as temples have come long way.even the oldest worshipping place dedicated to Vishnu did not have any temple by todays standards.
