What are megalith structures?

Megalith structures are large stones that have been used to construct a monument or building, often without the use of mortar or cement. The term comes from Greek words meaning 'great stone'. While the story mentions a 'megalith structure' on the seafloor, it's important to remember this is a claim about its appearance, not a confirmed archaeological find.
