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