Correct Answer: Megalithic Temples, Malta

While the Pyramids in Egypt, the oldest of which dates from 2630 BC, are certainly among the most impressive and largest of the ancient world’s structures, they are not, in fact, the oldest.

The Megalithic Temples, unearthed by archaeologists in the 19th century, are estimated to date back as far as 3500 BC. That’s almost a thousand years before the Pyramids!
