That said, many ancient structures are now strongly believed to pre-date the Flood. One in particular is the Great Sphinx with its significant long-term water-erosion marks even though it is a land that has been arid since time immemorial. Another is the presence of fossilized marine sea creatures buried in the silt in various places around Giza. In fact, many megalith structures exist all across the globe<ref>http://www.megalithic.co.uk/</ref>, including one particularly daunting one in Baalbak, Lebanon, the Temple of Jupiter<ref>http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/baalbek-trilithon</ref>. This Temple has three strangely configured megaliths that are assumed to weigh upwards of 800 tons each. No known technology is able to move blocks of this size. While many megalith sites can be re-imagined as having been constructed with block-and-tackle or creative pivots or other simple machines, many others defy engineering understanding. That it pre-dates the Flood suggests that it was intended for some other purpose before the Romans co-opted it and converted it to a Temple. | That said, many ancient structures are now strongly believed to pre-date the Flood.

Yet another city at the high altitudes of the Andes, Tiahuanaco, Bolivia<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiwanaku</ref>, has many megalithic structures at an altitude that precludes the ability of a civilization to treat these as viable building materials. A primary principle of ancient construction is to align with practical building practices and viable building materials. The megaliths at this site are outrageous even for today, and no current technology would find them easy to work with. In addition, the city's ruins bumps against Lake Titicaca, alongside ruins that clearly delineate the city as a seaport. A wide range of the city's artifacts are at the bottom of the lake. If this is a pre-Flood city that rose with the Andes during the Flood event (creationism asserts that all major mountain ranges are rapid products of the Flood) then this is a candidate to be a pre-Flood city. | |||
With Adam having a perfectly created genome, creationists presume a high level of mental and physical ability for early man, including the ability to construct in large scales. That these have survived as large-scale stone structures has invited many to speculate as to their construction from ancient astronauts or space-aliens. These claims are simply a recognition of the fact that these structures in fact required ''extraordinary ingenuity'' while making evolutionary presumptions that early man could not have possessed such capacity. | With Adam having a perfectly created genome, creationists presume a high level of mental and physical ability for early man, including the ability to construct in large scales.
