If the dates (4800B.C.-4600B.C.) mentioned in the article for the building of these temples can be verified, this discovery is will re-write the history books because roughly chronologically coincides with the oldest archaelogical evidence of people living in communities in Mesopotamia (late 5,000's B.C.). There is no archaelogical artifacts that predate 6,000 B.C.
Until now the oldest historically authenticated civilization was Sumer (began around 3500 B.C.) in the area of what later became ancient Babylon, now southern Iraq. Sumer was made up of 12 city states of which one of them was Ur, the birthplace of Abraham. It is also interesting to note that Sumer is in the area that Genesis locates the Garden of Eden.
