MEGALITHIC Mysteries | Before the FLOOD the DOLMENS

Were the Dolmens Built Before the Flood? Evidence of a Lost Megalithic Civilization

Dolmens—massive stone table-like structures found across the globe—have long puzzled archaeologists. These enigmatic monuments appear in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and even the Americas, with striking similarities despite vast geographic separation. Their construction, scale, and mysterious function raise a provocative question: Could these dolmens be preflood monuments built by an advanced antediluvian civilization—the same people responsible for other cyclopean megalithic sites like Baalbek, Sacsayhuamán, Göbekli Tepe, and the Great Pyramids?

Evidence Supporting a Preflood Origin for Dolmens
Global Distribution with Identical Architectural Features

Dolmens are found on nearly every continent—from the Golan Heights in Israel, to Korea, France, Russia, India, and Mexico—often consisting of 3+ megalithic stones with a capstone weighing several tons.

Their similarity in design (post-and-lintel structure) despite the absence of known cultural contact suggests a common origin or shared knowledge base, possibly from before the dispersion of peoples in the post-Babel world (Genesis 11).

Location in Ancient, Seismically Stable, Often Remote Areas

Many dolmens are located in high-altitude, geologically ancient regions (like the Caucasus or parts of Anatolia), areas likely to survive a global flood event and retain remnants of pre-flood constructions.

Extreme Weathering and Lack of Cultural Attribution

Dolmens often show heavy erosion and are not attributed to any known historical builders. In places like the Levant, they predate written history and are found in isolation from known ancient cities.

Local cultures often considered them ancient even in antiquity—referred to as the “works of giants” in folklore, suggesting a collective memory of pre-flood giants (Nephilim/ Rephaim) who may have constructed them.

Biblical and Extra-Biblical Correlations

Genesis 6:4 mentions “giants in those days… and also afterward,” which many traditions link to massive stone constructions and unexplained feats of engineering.

The Book of Enoch and other apocryphal texts describe the Watchers and Nephilim building structures before the Flood, teaching forbidden knowledge, and corrupting mankind.

In regions like Bashan (modern-day Golan Heights), dolmens are linked to biblical Rephaim (giants), with scholars noting that the largest concentration of dolmens on Earth is in the very area associated with these beings (see Deuteronomy 3:11, Isaiah 14, Og of Bashan).

Connection to Other Megalithic Sites

Sites like Göbekli Tepe (Turkey), the Trilithon of Baalbek (Lebanon), and the polygonal walls of Peru exhibit megalithic engineering with no known technological precedent, just like dolmens.

These may all be relics of a pre-flood civilization with a high degree of knowledge and strength, potentially preserved by giants or elite descendants post-Flood.

Conclusion
Dolmens may not simply be tombs or ritual sites of early farmers. They could be the surviving foundations of a forgotten pre-Flood world, built by a shared civilization—or even supernatural hybrids—whose memory remains in the myths of giants and the mysterious uniformity of ancient megaliths. They stand as stone witnesses to a world wiped clean by cataclysm, yet whose markers still rise defiantly across continents.
