Nah, It is hubris by modern idiots "I'm too stupid to realise how they did it" and I know "Ancient people (especially brown ones...) were backward savages" Therefore they only way they could have been made is ALIENS!!!
Why does racism always get injected into it, I'm pretty sure EVERYONE in the past was a fucking idiot. White people in the god damn 70's breathed in lead paint and voted for Reagan, of course I think they're idiots!
I'm pretty sure ANYONE living in BC times wasn't a very bright crayon. Fuck the Ancient Greeks believed gods lived on a Mountain that was literally easily accessible enough for any motherfucker to climb and see there are no gods on it. That's how dumb those shmucks were.
And how many times in history did people thinks that bathing was bad for you because it invited demons of illness, so instead they should just use powder? Too many times! Hell I'm sure me one month ago was demonstrably dumber than me in the present, if somehow you could put us together.
Humans are only good at one thing, getting smarter over time, and we're not even very good at that given that it's funny how dumb we are.
There seems to be a legitimate basis for the racism angle, intentional or not. This random article is one of many that delve into it.
I remain unconvinced, and offer this defense for Graham Hancock - https://youtu.be/9er_60B7ir0
I'm not trying to convince you, just point out it's not uncommon or unheard of. Even the article I linked ends with a statement about it possibly being just a bias and not outright racism.
Regardless, I don't think it helps either of us if we start referring to bloggers and influencers.
