I opened this new section today. I think it's well overdue to categorise discussions about ancient prehistoric civilizations and archaeology in this way. It's also an active, current interest of mine.
Please help me to grow this section with interesting information! :thumb001:
How does this differ from the Archaeology section? Which threads should go into this category?
This is more specific, i.e. older than archaeology within the last few thousand years of recorded history, and also doesn't include animal prehistory, but is focused on prehistoric human civilizations that left ruins we have no historical record for.Quote:

The ring to the east is circular in shape, and the smaller of the two. It contains the oldest stones, which have been dated to the Early Neolithic period (6000 B.C.). The ring to the west, on the other hand, is elliptical in shape, and is believed to have been built during the Middle Neolithic period (5000 B.C.).
