There's a village in France that's older than the Pyramids

The village of Villages is situated in the Dordogne region of France and has been continuously inhabited since 5500 BCE, making it one of the oldest human settlements in Europe. Archaeologists have found evidence of a Neolithic culture in the area, with artifacts dating back to the 6th millennium. This predates the construction of the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt by over 1,500 years, making Villages a significant archaeological site and a testament to the long history of human habitation in the region.
