老爷庙, Neolithic ruins at Loess Plateau, China
The archaeological site extends across an area larger than Central Park, featuring a stepped pyramid rising over 200 feet with miles of protective walls.
Carbon dating confirms the settlement dates to 2300 BC, preceding the oldest Great Wall sections and containing evidence of early Chinese urban development.
The excavated artifacts include stone carvings, jade items, musical instruments made of bone, and alligator skins, indicating extensive trade between different regions.
The site incorporates advanced military architecture with barbicans and baffle gates, demonstrating defensive strategies against conflicts among regional tribes.
Archaeologists discovered 80 human skulls beneath the eastern wall, suggesting ceremonial practices during construction involving captured members of rival groups.
