Have you ever wondered where is the oldest building in the world situated? Do you know how old is the oldest building in the world? Did you ever think what makes the oldest building in the world popular?
Old buildings are places of fascination, curiosity and admiration. They bring out the rich archeological wealth of a culture or civilization. In this blog, we have enlisted the oldest buildings in the world along with their dates and location. Before proceeding, we want to answer the first question we had asked at the beginning of the blog. The oldest building in the world dates back to circa 9500-8000 BC. It belongs to the 10th millennium BC. https://www.theeducationmagazine.com/word-art/oldest-buildings-in-the-world/

Have you at any point pondered where is the most established working on the planet arranged? Do you have any idea about how old is the most established working on the planet? Did you at any point suppose what makes the most seasoned working on the planet famous?
Old structures are spots of interest, interest and profound respect. They draw out the rich archaeological abundance of a culture or development. In this blog, we have enrolled the most established structures on the planet alongside their dates and area. Prior to continuing, we need to address the principal question we had asked toward the start of the blog. The most seasoned working on the planet traces all the way back to around 9500-8000 BC. It has a place in the tenth thousand years BC.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

TJ Westropp's drawing of the Turlough Hill enclosure (Source)
Suitably refreshed, we began with Dr Stefan Bergh (Dept of Archaeology, NUI Galway)
who delivered the paper: Meeting at the edge – Turlough Hill as a place of prehistoric
assembly. Bergh argued that many sites were the foci of gatherings, such as megalithic
tombs and the like. However, many gatherings would have been held at sites that leave
no obvious traces, such as a cliff, a tree, or a waterfall. Our challenge in these instances
is to understand the ‘place making process’. One important focus in this endeavour is
to understand how people perceive landscape. There is an interplay between people
and landscape that Bergh sees, not just in terms of the creation of monuments, but in
their daily lives. These mental and physical landscapes play significant roles in the
creation of belief systems. Mountains have long been seen as ‘special’ places, not just
in terms of safety and defence, but as the foci for belief systems. One of the reasons for
their specialness is that they symbolise the capacity to bridge earth and heaven and
allow entry to what lies beyond the physical world. In some cultures the most
important spot is the summit, which is the focus of religious ritual, while in other
instances the focus is on the verticality of the mountain. In some places, the mountain
is not climbed, but venerated from afar (e.g. Mt Kailash in Tibet), while in others, the
act of climbing is itself part of the ritual (e.g. Croagh Patrick, Co. Mayo).
In Ireland, the uplands have been actively used from prehistory to Medieval times.
While some of these uses have been political and social (defence and domestic), others
have been imbued with religious significance. Bergh argues that The Burren is a
physical boundary between county Clare and the lowlands of south Galway. To anyone
2. approaching from this direction it appears as a gigantic grey wall. At Turlough Hill the
archaeological remains include a large cairn and house foundations on the western
summit and a large enclosure on the eastern summit. This latter enclosure is roughly
hexagonal and measures c.220m across. Berg points out that it is clearly not a
defensive structure as it has over ten defined entrances and is, in any event, merely
composed of a low bank. Thomas Johnson Westropp, when writing about this site in
the early 20th century, described it as a temple rather than a domestic rath/ringfort or
cashel. The cairn on the western summit still retains some evidence of vertical walling,
but has never been excavated to comprehensively determine date and function. The
same area also holds 156 identified houses. These occur in clusters of three to four
examples, but are not evenly distributed across the summit – they appear to occur at
both ends of the summit and near the central area. There appears to be no
topographical reason for these intervening blank areas, However (if I understood
Bergh correctly) one of these supposed ‘blanks’ has recently shown to contain an
enclosure composed of four low, concentric banks. In the saddle between Turlough
Hill’s twin peaks there is a long cairn (c.95m x c.6m) that includes at least one
megalithic chamber. In many respects, the site may be paralleled with Mullaghfarna,
Co. Sligo, where survey has recorded 153 houses of Neolithic and Bronze Age dates.
Bergh suggests that the morphology of the cairn and the houses at Turlough Hill
suggests a similarly Bronze Age to Neolithic date. The hexagonal enclosure is unique
within Irish archaeology, but it may well be of a similar age.
Bergh is at pains to point out that this is not ‘just another hill top’. The houses have no
parallels within the Burren area. They are not ordinary prehistoric farmsteads. As
there is no apparent overlapping of developments, he argues that they represent a
single, concerted phase of deliberately planned building. He believes that they were
not domestic in function as the hill was not easily accessible and was generally
inhospitable. On a personal note, I can very much agree with Bergh’s thinking on this
last point. In my days as a Boy Scout, our troop (4th Galway Craughwell) was often to
be found wandering through various parts of the Burren. On one large-scale camping
weekend event (known as a 'Sionnach Adventure') I, as a senior Scout, was given the
job of maintaining a safety checkpoint for the groups as they passed over Turlough
Hill. I set up my checkpoint in the lee of what I now know to be the large, kerbed cairn
and with several hours to kill, I set about reading Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot (why that
particular detail remains so clear after all these years, I have no idea!). It was early
summer and the sky was remarkably clear and the sun was warm – very warm. I
remember that, despite having come well-prepared, I was soon out of water and was
reduced to begging small amounts from the groups as they passed through the
checkpoint. There was no easily available water for some distance – both horizontally
and vertically. While the sun shone and the breeze was low it was a very pleasant place
to be – so long as you were well provisioned. At around the same time in my life – and
as part of my Boy Scout adventures – I have been on Turlough Hill on a number of
wintery evenings as it got dark and the wind picked up and the rain came down. On
these occasions it was not quite as charming as one was alternately soaked and
buffeted. Whatever about my childhood observations of the place, Bergh argues that
the location was used by two groups coming together. Turlough Hill is on the very edge
of the Burren and Bergh suggests that this liminal location was one where the local
people could have met outsiders. Whatever role the site played, the surviving remains
are without counterpart and, he argues, has important significance for the people of
the area and beyond.
3. Copney Circle A in 1998 (Source)
Under the same night sky - the architecture and meaning of Bronze Age stone circles
in mid-Ulster was the topic of Michael Mac Donagh’s (National Roads Authority)
presentation. He began with the broad statement that he was going to present a pretty
odd take on these sites and that he’d be happy if even one person came away thinking
that there was some merit in his theory. With this idea of impending controversy
hanging like tantalising bait before us, he began to set the scene: stone circles as a
whole, are architecturally very varied and of a wide variety of dates. Together, these
facts may be taken to suggest that they also had a similarly wide variety of uses. The
mid-Ulster group of stone circles comprises over 100 examples. Where they have been
investigated, they appear to have become overgrown with blanket peat around 800
BC, so would appear to be of Bronze Age date. Two of the most important of these
complexes are to be found at Copney (Foley 1983; 2010; Foley & McDonagh 1998;
MacDonagh 1998) and Beaghmore (Pilcher 1969; 1975; Thom 1980; Hayes 1999), both
in Co. Tyrone. These are, for the most part, made up of small, low-set, stones and
arranged in groups of more than one circle. Mac Donagh argues that it’s not fanciful
to assume that there was a design to their layout. At Beaghmore the design is
dominated by five circles and various double-row alignments. Copney was discovered
in 1982 and was partially stripped and excavated in 1994 and 1997. At that time three
of nine circles (A-C) were wholly or partly exposed. Further work in 1998 – that I was
lucky enough to dig on [photo: here] – uncovered two further circles in the complex (J
& K). Mac Donagh made the case that at Beaghmore Circles A and B are circular, so it
is clear that the people of Bronze Age Tyrone were able to produce circular circles if
they so wanted. However, Circle C is not perfectly circular and, rather than see it as an
aberration or a failure in ancient technology, he asks if this is not evidence of a
deliberate action? There is a similar lack of circularity at Copney and Mac Donagh asks
if these are not evidence that these circles were designed in this way? At both sites the
circles are laid out with two circles together and a third at a distance. The same layout
is also visible at the Tremoge stone circles (which I also dug on in 1998
[photo: here | here | here] … though I didn’t consider myself quite so lucky … it was a
horrible waterlogged, nasty site … and the locals broke in to our site hut and stole our
tools and kettle … and pushed the portable toilet over). Mac Donagh suggests that the
4. same pattern may possibly also occur at the Culvacullion stone circles too. He argues
that between all these sites there is evidence for a ‘Grand Design’ template. The tricky
question is: what is the origin of that template? Mac Donagh notes that there is a long-
established framework that sees the sites (the paired stone rows in particular) as linked
to the observation of the heavens on key dates. Little attention has been paid to the
layout of the multi-circle complexes themselves.

Mac Donagh has co-opted the assistance of two nine-year-old girls to produce
drawings of the moon. Even at this young age, and using only the naked eye, they can
perceive and depict ‘globularity’ in the ‘face’ of the moon. Personally, I’m deeply
suspicious of any attempt to reflect the thoughts and actions of ancient peoples in the
thoughts and actions of ‘pure’ and ‘untutored’ modern children. Nonetheless, Mac
Donagh’s point is well made – the non-circularity of the lunar maria are observable
even to young children, not predisposed or (we must suppose) pre-instructed on the
topic. Indeed, under the correct conditions, the features of the moon are clearer still.
For example, at the times of a perigee moon (or ‘Supermoon’) our natural satellite is
up to 50km closer than usual. Under these conditions, the moon appears 14% larger
and 30% brighter than one at its farthest point, or apogee. Mac Donagh urges us to
shed the notions of astronomical accuracy, and instead view the creators of these
places as ‘ritual artists’. Going back to the early written record, Plutarch’s (c.46-
120AD) On the Face in the Moon's Orb noted the existence of the lunar maria. In the
same work he describes the moon as ‘the finest and clearest of all mirrors’.
The Wikipedia article on the exploration of the moon notes that prior to this time ‘It
had been suggested already in antiquity that the Moon was a perfect mirror and that
its markings were reflections of earthly features’. Mac Donagh notes that the
mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher ibn al-Haytham (c.965-c.1040) wrote of
the moon as a mirror; as did Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859). This is obviously
5. a theory of remarkable longevity. Could it have been the same going further back into
prehistory? Did the people of Bronze Age Tyrone see the moon as a reflected image of
the earth? If they did, it may demonstrate a commonality of shared beliefs across wide
geographical and temporal arenas. Having shown a broadly similar ‘template’ could be
posited for many of these sites, he attempted to argue that these were inverted human
representations of the lunar maria. He takes the position that Beaghmore (the best
preserved and most thoroughly uncovered of all the sites) may be interpreted in this
way … though there would still be the need to find two additional circles in the
unexplored peat land.
Mac Donagh continued on in this vein for a while longer, but I’d given up taking notes.
I’d come to feel that it was a lovely little theory and a great conference paper, but that
it had more to do with Michael’s ability to draw together disparate strands of evidence
and pseudo-evidence, weaving them into an (apparently) robust argument. However,
the hypothesis was as flimsy as moonlight and, no matter how interesting and comedic
the delivery, it was no more than nonsense. This wasn’t archaeology. I was not
convinced. And yet … I couldn’t get the idea out of my head … I’ve been thinking about
this for over three months now and, while I’m still convinced that he’s wrong in areas,
I’m beginning to see that his ideas do have merit. It appears that I have fallen prey to
this idea – I’m the one in the audience who came away thinking there was something
in the theory! Let it sink in and ruminate on it a while … maybe you too will be seduced
by Mac Donagh’s ‘lunacy’.
Note: this paper is based on the recently published paper: McDonagh, M. 2014 ‘Under
the Same Night Sky – The Architecture and Meaning of Bronze Age Stone Circles in
Mid-Ulster’ in Ginn, V., Enlander, R., & Crozier, R. (Eds) Exploring Prehistoric
Identity in Europe: Our Construct or Theirs? Oxford.

The last paper of the day was Gathering the Nations: Kingdoms, Communities and
Civil Society in Early Medieval Ireland by Patrick Gleeson (UCC). He started by
outlining the idea that, within Early Medieval Ireland, the hierarchical nature of
kingship demanded that different societal layers and scales had their own tailored
landscapes of assembly. On this basis, we may infer that there was anything from a
minimum of 200-600, and up to a maximum of 1500-2000, different assembly spaces
6. at any one time during this period. Of these, the most important was the Óenach. The
word derives from óen, meaning ‘one’ and is today most associated with markets or
fairs. However, during the Early Medieval period it was a place and an occasion for
rendering tribute and included horse-racing, games of various kinds, feasting, and
entertainment, along with holding numerous legal and judicial aspects. It is the
association of the Óenach with these latter functions that placed this form of gathering
at the centre of contemporary civil society. Despite their importance, and presumed
ubiquity, relatively few Óenach landscapes have been identified. To address this
imbalance, The Óenach Project was established at UCC, and funded by
an IRCHSS New Ideas grant. The project is dedicated to the research of the origin,
nature, and evolution of assembly practices and previously unidentified gathering
sites. So far, some 115 Óenach sites have been identified. Examples
include Carrigatogher (Harding), Co. Tipperary, and the Kilmainham complex, Co.
Meath, the latter including a boundary ditch dated to the Iron Age. At Holdenstown 1,
Co. Kilkenny, Iron Age ring ditches were reused in the Early Christian period.
Emerging trends from this research include the observation that the boundaries of
túatha (singular: túath) were frequently marked with ogham stones and human
burials. Of particular interest was Gleeson’s argument that assembly sites at the túath
level may be identified at cemetery settlements, indicating a kingly control of burial
within society at this time. All together, Gleeson – in a paper that was remarkably
dense and delivered at Gatling-gun speed – demonstrated that this form of targeted
multi-discipline research can pay huge dividends and help develop a wider
appreciation of these Óenach landscapes.
After a group question and answer session, the conference closed for the evening and
the delegates retreated to the Glasshouse Hotel for what turned out to be a sumptuous
conference dinner.
