Archaeologists just uncovered groundbreaking evidence about Eridu, a lost megacity once thought to be more legend than reality, and the discovery is forcing experts to rethink the entire timeline of early civilization. Eridu wasn’t just a small ancient settlement—it was a massive, organized urban center with temples, water systems, and trade links that appeared far earlier than historians believed cities could exist. Researchers now think this place may have been one of the world’s very first megacities, shaping culture, religion, and technology across the ancient Near East. The new findings reveal that people built complex societies much sooner and more efficiently than textbooks ever suggested, opening the door to even more hidden chapters of human history.
