Polar Shifts affecting age of stone monuments

Were humans or earlier hominids capable of constructing structures before or during the last ice age?

Habgood has proposed that there were several polar shifts between 100,000 and 12,000 years ago during sudden movements in the Earth’s crust.

There may have been polar shifts to Bering Straits 100,000 years ago, to Greenland 40,000 years ago and to Hudson Bay 12,000 to 18,000 years ago.

The alignment to magnetic north of megalithic structures has been traced back to these polar positions, for instance:
Ollantaytambo’s Sun Temple possibly close to 100,000 years ago,
North Greenland pole for Baalbek, Jerusalem’s western wall and the Parthenon
Hudson Bay pole for Gobekli Tepe.

Stone monuments are impossible to date using radiocarbon dating which require organic matter but most megalithic structures are aligned to north. Many vary a little from north and the degree of mis-alignment can be used to estimate their age from the known polar shifts identified by Habgood.
