# Little evidence of cultural (especially agricultural) activity around the settlement, owing to the presumption that the Flood would have washed away all but the most prevalent of artifacts, such as buildings or monuments. For example, Gobekli Tepe has megalithic stones and is touted as a religious site even though no agriculture exists anywhere near it. Purportedly a civilization would establish agriculture prior to worship. A simple explanation is that this was a site of buildings, regardless of purpose, and the evidence of agriculture was annihilated by the flood. | |||
# Ancient ruins that are "dated" at over 5000 years old, especially with megalithic structures, either at the tops of mountains (e.g. Tiahuanaco, Bolivia) or submersed under coastal waters, with evidence that they were once at or near sea-level. The ruins of massive pyramids under 60 feet of water near the island of Yonaguni near Okinawa, Japan. Another is in India off the coast of Cambay, ruins of a huge city over 120 feet underwater. | |||
