Surely the relatively primitive peoples of Ancient Egypt or the Incan Empire couldn’t have achieved these extraordinary feats, given the limited technology and lack of tools of the time? One common conspiracy theory about the Pyramids is that they and other ancient structures were built by aliens… And these famous sites both posed the same immediate question to me: How on Earth did they build these?
