Hmmm.... Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University? It's old, but it's not ancient. First result produced from searching "Terascale". Hmmm... A building which is 1E12 (one billion / one trillion) (depending on the scale) years old. Such a building does not exist in the real world... but in the fictional world yes.... unless "Ancient" refers to Ancient (Stargate). But then I just don't know. -- AllyUnion (talk) 08:03, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It's an SI-unit. Gkhan 09:54, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)

10^12 seconds (second is SI unit) is about 31700 years. At these times the only "buildings" were caves, such as Creswell Crags. Grue 10:09, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

From Orders of magnitude (mass): the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza is about 6 teragram. Eugene van der Pijll 11:10, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
