You've set the bar. That's man-made and freakin' old, somewhere around 2500 to 3000 BC.
I'll post a few later on this evening, but I doubt I'll find anything that old.

I think, no-one can, as to man-made, but every two weeks, seemed too much to me. Pity... at least I trumped Sparkey

Great picture, very old coin indeed. I'd like to see you try to spend it at a shop in Rome.

It's been a while since I was in Rome. In fact I think that coin could have passed as local currency then.
I have a few old guns I may shoot and add if I get time. I enjoy playing along even tho usually I only add one image to a challenge and never one I have posted before.

definitely old enough to count.
1) A sample of my father's carving originally created for mum to display her flower arrangements on. Now over 30 years old.
350D 50/1.8 @ f/10 1/40s ISO 100 with flash.
2) How we used to do it. My Olympus OM1n from back in the late seventies.
350D EFs 17-85 @ 41mm f/29 6s ISO 100 with tripod and lightbox.
3) A 55+ year old Norton International being used as it should be! Racing round Russell Bend at Snetterton race track October last year.
350D Sigma 100-300 f/4 @ 300mm f/7.1 1/640s ISO 800 with monopod.

As this is a photographic challenge, my perception is, that the ravages of time should be visible.
My favorite place again: Monolithos, Rhodos, Greece
Fragile, but it survived earthquake 6.4 of Richter scale two or three years ago (me too)
Glastonbury, England
and as I am stubborn, here is another dolmen:
Poulnabrone dolmen, the Burren, Co Clare, Ireland.
Wikipedia quotation:
Most frequently heard comment "It's not as big as it looks on the postcards". Still impressive
