A HISTORICAL LIE: THE STONE AGE

It is exceedingly probable that the people who constructed the
megaliths in question possessed an advanced civilization, as shown
by the archaeological and historical remains. The structures they
produced show that they had a wide-ranging knowledge of mathe-
matics and geometry; that they knew the technology needed to build
monuments by calculating fixed points in hilly areas; that they used
equipment (such as the compass) to determine geographical posi-
tions, and that when necessary, they could transport the materials
needed for construction from many kilometers away. Obviously,
they did not manage all this by using only primitive tools and man-
power. Indeed, many experiments by researchers and archaeologists
have demonstrated that it would have been impossible to construct
these monuments under the conditions proposed by the theory of
evolution. Researchers who have attempted to construct similar
monuments by reproducing the imaginary "Stone Age" conditions
postulated by evolutionists have failed dismally. These researchers
have not only found it difficult to construct any similar structure, but
have also experienced enormous difficulties in transporting these
stones from one place to another. This shows yet again that people of
that era did not lead backward lives, as evolutionists would have us

believe. They enjoyed and understood architecture, made expert use
of construction technology and engaged in astronomical investiga-
tions.
It is perfectly understandable that only stone blocks, stone
structures and various stone tools should remain from the civiliza-
tions of thousands of years ago. However, it is not logical to look at a
handful of stone structures and artifacts and conclude that the peo-
ple of that time had an undeveloped civilization completely lacking
in any technology and was only able to use stone. Such assertions,
