# 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. | # 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.

# 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. | # 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.

*Close at hand is an old drawing of a section of the “inscribed wall” at Chatata, TN. Note the triangular marker stone projecting above ground level. The history of the Chatata wall is long and convoluted. | |||
Discovered over a century ago, new facts are still coming to light today, as reviewed by D.E. Wirth in a recent issue of The Ancient American. | |||
The wall was originally almost completely buried. It attracted attention only because its course was marked on the surface by stones projecting from the ground every 25-30 feet over a gently curving arc about 1,000 feet long. One of these surface stones seemed to be inscribed with strange symbols.<ref>https://s8int.com/2020/02/21/the-inscribed-wall-at-chatata-tennessee/</ref> | |||
*Prehistoric Ruins; A Wall 20 Miles Long and Almost as Massive as the Chinese Wall | |||
The above was the title on an April 23, 1893 article reprinted in the Los Angeles Times from the St. Louis Republic. According to the article, a massive mostly buried wall was found near Milano, Texas, only 150 miles distant from Rockwall, Texas. | |||
“A Texas correspondent writes to one of the scientific departments of the government of a strangely interesting prehistoric wall discovered on the frontier of the Lone Star State. This marvelous ruin surpasses in interest all the other wonderful remains hitherto found of the people who one inhabited the whole Mexican plateau and attained a high state of civilization.<ref>https://s8int.com/2020/02/21/dont-mess-with-prehistoric-texas-prehistoric-megalithic-construction-in-the-lone-star-state/</ref> | |||
