If you want to get into a manhood measuring contest we could broaden the criteria to include native american structures.

I don't want to get in to a content, but I am interested in how old they are. The oldest structure here in the UK is a neolithic dwelling dated to ~3700 BC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knap_of_Howar

The Americas have the likes of Watson Brake and Sechin Bajo, dated to roughly the same time as that, give or take a couple of centuries.

Well, there is Sechin Bajo from around 3,500 BC, though we know there were people in the Americas at least 8000 years before that, unfortunately their structures haven't survived (that we have found).
