Have you ever heard of a place called Göbekli Tepe in Turkey?
Only a small portion of the archeological site has been uncovered, but the ruins there are extremely advanced and date back to 12,000 BC. That's long before the pyramids and even older than what scientists believed was the cradle of civilization in Babylon.
What is even stranger is that the temple complex was deliberately covered-over by it's inhabitants 11,500 years BC. And, parts of the complex that have been uncovered seem to tell a story similar to the Noah's Ark story.
The fact that it's so old completely rewrites the accepted historical record of mankind. The designs, frescoes, and amazingly perfect cutting and shaping of the stone is wasn't thought possible of mankind of that time period. Many of the pillars are huge, weighing many tons, and are perfectly cut.
