A temple that predates Stonehenge reveals architectural planning may be older than we think

3. Sometimes I think that

we forget that ancient men were just as smart as we are. The only thing that they were missing was experience. So these folks had math skills, architects, tool makers, masons, engineers and and surplus labor. They must have been secure from food shortages and had their enemies in check.

Looking at the artist depiction makes me wonder if could have been a defensible "storehouse." You can't invest that much labor unless you had a vibrant agricultural society; if you grow it you need to store it or winters in towns get hungry. The columns look like they were placed in such a manner that it could have had a domed, or modified hip timber roof structure.

I wonder that in 3000 years, if future anthropologists, discovering the foundations of football stadiums will suggest that they were "temples." In a way, they could be somewhat accurate in the assumption.

Of course, I am a plumber, not an anthropologist so my wild speculation are only wild speculations based upon ignorance and imagination.
