This has been the problem with dating these structures. Carbon dating the objects found inside is consistent both with those people building it and with those people finding it and using it. The latter means the structure was built prior to the civilization being credited with building it.
There were always things in official prehistory that didn't add up to me, even with the ancient Egyptians. I have visited museums of Egyptian art and seen statues, sarcophagi and vessels, all finely made of granite. Then they said that they only had bronze tools. Okay, show me how you can carve one of the hardest stones that exists in this way with these tools. I think there must have been much more advanced cultures long before that was destroyed by some cataclysm tens of thousands of years ago, and current discoveries seem to increasingly confirm this.
Predynastic jar of granite from 3400 BCE
apparently ancient egypt had diamond tipped tools which could have turned granite on a lathe.
