Part of the Preterist argument is that Jerusalem was built on seven hills. Not so - Josephus says it was originally built on three hills but then Simon the Hasmonian cut the one hill (the original Zion) down to bedrock. So in Josephus's time Jerusalem was only built on two hills. They say Jerusalem was built on seven hills - not so. For example they will count the Mount of Olives (which has three peaks) but Jerusalem never built any houses there because for millennia it was used as a graveyard and was unoccupied. So was Jerusalem built upon the Mount of Olives - no. Rome however was physically built on seven hills and this has been noted many times in history.
