Early men knew geology and physics

Neolithic engineers used scientific knowledge to build huge megalith.

A monument in southern Spain that dates to between 3600 and 3800 BC appears to have been built with an understanding of geology and physics

Evolutionists paint some people as almost sub humans, who learnt the hard way to build cities almost by accident.

However science tells different story.  As Genesis tells us, early man knew who to build musical instruments and cities.

Now, it seems that early men could have some understanding with geology and physics.

”Neolithic people seem to have understood sophisticated concepts in science, such as physics and geology, using this knowledge to construct a megalithic monument in southern Spain.

Called the Menga dolmen, it is among the earliest European megaliths, dating to between 3600 and 3800 BC. Its roofed enclosure was constructed from 32 large stones, some of which are the biggest used in such structures. The heaviest one weighs in excess of 130 tonnes, more than three times as much as the heaviest stone at Stonehenge in the UK, which was erected more than 1000 years later.

“[In the Neolithic Period], it must have been very powerful to experience this building made with these enormous stones,” says Leonardo García Sanjuán at the University of Seville in Spain. “It still stirs you. It still causes an impression even today.”

García Sanjuán and his colleagues have now performed detailed geological and archaeological analyses of the stones to infer what knowledge Menga’s builders would have needed to construct the monument, which is in the city of Antequera.
