A Megalith is a large stone used in construction. Megalithic is the structure itself.
How is it you would classify Atlantis under that category?
There is a structure called Yonigumo off the coast of Japan, that's considered to be artificial by some.
Likely it's natural, though it's possible it was worked by man at some point. The stone that makes it up is a type that breaks of in fracture lines. (For us juveniles out there, rocks have cleavage.)

Well Atlantis was created by "Poseidon" aka Enki who was an Anunnaki. They were the ones Zecharia Sitchin states created the Giza Pyramids. But I am just going by Sitchin and a few others did research on.

Poseidon was not "AKA" Enki. Originally he was a Mycenaean God, who previous to his adoption by the Greeks, started out as a earth god. His came from "Earth Shaker".
Stitchin did not do much research, he claims to have translated one seal that supports his book, which from my understanding is one no one else agrees with the translation.
Please note: In order to understand and translate ancient languages, it is not needed to go to college and study, or work for a historical program, you can pick up learning aids to assist you in learning to read them.
There is much more evidence that the pyramids were created by man than aliens. That they didn't use advanced technology, but the tools they had at the time, which included a work force that had very little to do for six months out of the year as the Nile river flooded the fields of land they used to grow their crops.
Keep in mind, the pyramids as Giza were not the first of their kind, and while the largest, were not the last.
If you want to go around literally interpreting myths and legends, I prefer the one where Anansi sung the world into creation.

LOL You must believe everything MSM tells you?
I am sorry to burst your bubble, but MSM also told us back in the day in 10,ooo BC that all we had were stone tools.
But here is the guy's research that I was talking about as well.

First, no.
Secondly, yes, yes they did, and still do. 10,000 years ago would put you near the middle of the Stone age.
Now, I can't view Youtube at work, but sometime when I get home, if I have the time tonight, i'll take a look.
Now, let me ask you, how much time have YOU spent looking into the subject.
I actually enjoy reading about Stitchin, Graham Hancock, and Von daniken.
As well as past fringe folks, like Mark Lehner or Zahi Hawass, and more specfific studies on the various cultures themselves.
I have a very general knowledge of the various time periods, which I am improving at a glacial rate.
I can see why certain people are wrong.
As well as people like Von Daniken, who was caught hoaxing some of his artifacts, and Hancock who has printed some retractions on some of his earlier statements, including n the age of the pyramids.
Edit:
Normally I type very little, but I got a newc offee pot and it works really well.
