Why nobody is talking about these?
The Longyou Grottoes can be found in Zhejiang, China. These structures were built around 212 BCE, and were discovered in 1992.

Göbekli-Tepe, which literally means “Potbelly Hill”, is an archaeological site that is located at the top of a mountain ridge in the Southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey. The site is considered to be a stone age mountain sanctuary, and is believed to be a pilgrimage site that attracts worshipers from 100 miles away.
The stone sphere is considered the icon of Costa Rica’s identity. Aside from being created during the Diquís era, little is known about the spheres. Local myths state that these stone spheres are relics from the lost city of Atlantis. This sphere is estimated to weigh 15 tons.
Located off the coast of Japan, the Yonaguni Monument or “The Turtle” consists of two monoliths stacked on top of each other. It is composed of sandstones and mudstones that are believed to have been deposited approximately 20 million years ago. Whether or not the Monument is man-made is still unknown, and archaeologists continue to debate about its origin. Some archaeologists believe that the Monument is man-made because of the 90-degree angles and the flat edges, while others say that it is located far too deep into the ocean to be man-made.
This unfinished obelisk can be found in Aswan, Egypt. Its construction was ordered by Hatshepsut, around 1500 BCE. It would have measured about 42 meters in height and would have weighed an estimated 1200 tons. Had its construction been completed, it would have been the largest ancient obelisk ever erected.
Being an archaeologist appears to be a tough job. But if it involves unearthing places like this, it might just be worth the toil.
