Of these famous landmarks, which was established first?

Harriet thinks
Spoiler
the Colosseum was a few hundred years before or after the year zero. She thinks the Parthenon was a little before that she assumes. Stonehenge she thinks could be 5,000 years old or only 2,000 years old. Her gut makes her think the Great Wall is probably the oldest.

Spoiler
50/50 leaves Stonehenge & Parthenon.

Harriet rethinks her answer. She's visited
Spoiler
New Grange in Ireland which was the oldest free-standing stone structure in the world, maybe about 6,000 or 8,000 years old. She's thinking Stonehenge may be around 2,000 B.C. and she doesn't think Ancient Greece extends back that far. In the end she goes with Stonehenge which is old and mysterious

Spoiler
B: Stonehenge
