    		Skara Brae - unless you don't count a village as a structure.

    		Not sure if this will be allowed either, but there is a structure at
    Newgrange, a beautiful megalithic site in Ireland. This huge circular stone structure is estimated to be 5,000 years old, older by centuries than Stonehenge, older than the Egyptian pyramids! It was built to receive a shaft of sunlight deep into its central chamber at dawn on winter solstice.

    		The stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire, England, is thought to be older than Stonehenge.

    I can find really easily and hear about records of the tallest, highest manmade structures on earth, but what is the deepest, lowest manmade structures underground below the earth?

    Considering it is over half a millenium older than the Great Pyramid of Giza, and well and truly a thousand years before Stonehenge, it appears that the alignment of the sun through the chamber was not coincidental. Where is this place, and what are the names of similar structures nearby?

    What was the first manmade plastic?
