Out of curiosity, I did some googling, and it seems no matter how stupid, there are someone believing in it: Aliens built the colosseum.

Now I’m not saying that aliens literally came to earth, built the colosseum, and then accidentally left their socks; that would be preposterous. I think they left the socks on purpose so that we would have enough evidence to figure out the truth.

I wonder how long it will be before someone starts believing that aliens built the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid in Memphis.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Aliens probably did build it. You know, like Jesus.

Edit: forgot the ú.

Can you personally proof it wasn’t without referencing internet sites (aka cia planted misinformation) ?

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 4 points 3 days ago

Can you prove I havent done so already and my post doing so hasnt been sneakily blocked and erased by the aforementioned CIA?

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

You mean like the video proof shows? Of course Obummer has cut up the tapes like he tried to do with the Jeff

Well, obviously they did. Aliens want the "Fish love me, women fear me." hats just as much as anyone else.

One of the main examples of "Aliens must have done this" is the retaining wall at the temple Baalbek.

Romans built it, and wrote about building it, but nope, it's aliens.

And the retaining wall is somehow as old as the original temple, despite being a very late addition.

and wrote about building it

Oh, the Egyptians wrote about building the pyramids too. It doesn't change anything.
