    But Teotihuacan is a mystery! I've seen conflicting dates, there have seen documentaries on the History Channel that say some parts of the city are of an unknown origin and time frame.

    But around Europe, I've been to Roman ruins everywhere! From the Greek islands to Spain, and I've been all over Rome.
    As much as I would rather never go to Mexico, I would love to go and visit the ruins there

    I think Hadrian's Wall is the oldest structure I've ever been to!

    I sort of lucked out! I was there back in 1985, that was when the biggest fear was the possibility of getting pick-pocketed or your camera getting stolen. Now, you'll be lucky if your can return with your head still attached to your body!


    I am actually very disappointed! I would love to see the sites of Egypt, but after moving here and since the wars, just the fact that an American being attacked would give some dickless murderer the incentive to get world fame. I'll pass!

    Yeah, same here about the pyramids. I'd love to go and see them in person, but it doesn't look like that will be a possibility any time soon

    If Malta is the oldest, then them if we went to any of the temples but the only church like buildings I recall there were the Mosta Rotunda church where a bomb went through the ceiling during WWII and didn't explode. Also went to a "Ta Pinu" church on Gozo I think. They didn't seem too old so obviously not them.

    Failing that, If reading the above verfies anything then The Forum in Rome.

    There was an ancient wall in London we saw, not far from the Tower of London. Think it was the London Wall built in 700BC

    I saw the battlefield from the Battle of Hastings (1066AD) in East Sussex... that one was awesome to me because of how monumental that battle was to modern history... not that exciting to see though

    Notre Dame broke ground a century later so that's a close third I guess.
