Uhh, maybe modern day Egypt?

You might try a lost Egytian civilization that broke off and evolved without todays Western influence, sort of like an Atlantis. I'm still puzzled how they moved those huge stones. The guy who built the Coral Castle said he had figured it out. Looking at his work that he claimed that he did by himself without hydrualics just simple tools I'd say he probably did. Took it to his grave though.
