The whole argument is ridiculous "they had the tech to make shiny stone why isn't everything shiny", BOI, we have tech to have glitter finish on everything doesn't mean I want same amounts of shininess on my family photo album as on a bike reflector.

I finally got to watching Romulus and this gave me an epiphany: how the hell would aliens build pyramids with their claws? Nah, I get using acid from their veins to cut stones and using tails to move them, but I really find it hard to imagine xenomorphs making the delicate carvings on the entire funerary complex.

@GameHammerCG I always assumed Kermitology is a philosophy made about accepting that it's not easy being green!

@realitytheorist4205 what perfect smoothness and symmetry? Have you SEEN those sarcophagi they made out of granite? They are uneven, have tons of mistakes, and many clearly made rushed because they had to fit the guy in there WHEN HE DIED so couldn't wait to even out the wonky sides. Oh the pyramids blocks are so "polished to perfection" on INSIDE that you can fit a hand between them. Or a camera. Which people did. Outside they mortared the gaps at first then gave up. Statues are much smaller so easier to polish but like, you're literally just rubbing a rock... You can do it with a piece of another rock. or SAND! Egyptians had plenty of sand, believe it or not.

Argument that later carvings would always need to be better is kinda ridiculous, when we have Roman roads still standing and modern ones made with much better tech needing to be fixed. More modern technology and know how doesn't always equal better quality simply because of logistics, a more recent example is Nokia almost running out of business while exploding Samsung phones are still the most sold brand. Does that mean that late 1990s Finland had better electronic tech than modern day South Korea? No. Sometimes it's more profitable to make something cheaper.

@bipolarminddroppings also claiming that polish was done by aliens is easily debunked by the fact that poland can't into space in the first place.

Egyptians also notably used levels. As in, tool called a level, many were found. The simplest form is a rock on a string, plumb bob. Which always falls vertically down. Because gravitation. And if you rotate the object on its side once, you get perfect 90 degree angle. A plumb on a string in the middle of A-shaped ruler is a leveling tool. It's actually way simpler to do than making tape during the time neither paper, plastic nor rubber were a thing.

Why? Never seen a postcard that had sophisticated calligraphy on it and then postman crudely scratching address on top of the same package? Or even an envelope. ANY envelope, with printed nice even letters and uneven handwriting nearby. Does that mean that a wedding invitation my aunt sent was printed 1000 years ago by aliens before she wrote on top? You said "NO objective person can look at the difference in the quality of work between the 2 sets of [postal card text] and not come to the conclusion that the sets were done at different times."

@PeppoMusic I personally know multiple families who believe their little cult are the sole surviving knights Templar. TWO DIFFERENT ORGS CLAIMING TO BE THE REAL ONES IN MY CITY! We're not even in Western Europe...

@realitytheorist4205 you seriously claim that polishing a large smooth surface is harder as making a tiny carving of a bird perfect?

@dr.banoub9233 well you see, the guys who think xenomorphs chiseled stones with their acid blood and built pyramids with their spiky tails aren't the sharpest pencils in the pooper. Races are made up, as in, at one point they consider North Africans white, the other time they don't allow Irish to be whites. As in, being a Catholic automatically disqualifies you from WASP master race. There's no logic behind any of that, it's always arbitrary groups, i.e. Hitler considered Slavs a different race from Germans, but accepted Japanese as "aryans" because it never made any sense.

@ThatBoomerDude56 so if aliens used the acid from their veins to carve off big blocks AND THEN Egyptians carved symbols with a chisel, HOW DID EGYPTIANS SURVIVE?! We all know the only one left at the end of any aliens movie is one final girl... Let's say it was Nitocris... did she cryo-freeze herself to later re-emerge as Cleopatra? What happened to Ian Holm then, there must be an android covered in white goo of some form, can't have an alien without one.

As other person said, they did DNA testing to confirm relations in addition to seeing inscriptions nearby. You can take Tutankhamun's mummy as a starting point, BTW, since his grave wasn't robbed. It's not SIMPLE, but an entire forensic science working on it, not much different from what they do for crime investigations and need to identify bodies found in a bog.

Ironically, there are many cases in history where there WAS a more advanced (at least in stone masonry) civilization that wasn't matched for the ones that followed for some time. Like Greece or Rome. Or some of the pre-Inca Andean civilizations. None of those cases are mysterious, I mean, nobody gets surprised that a Roman aqueduct is more advanced than whatever the vandals and goths made during what was previously known as dark ages. Why they keep trying to claim Egypt has mysterious whatever instead of admitting the cyclic nature of civilization, as dynasties fell and empires collapsed and then were reunited or conquered, which perfectly explains why, say, they suddenly stopped making pyramids, for example. For similar reasons Greeks stopped building Acropolises. Things change with time, some tech becomes obsolete, making no point to, say, maintain Greek fire recipe in gunpowder age.

@GizzyDillespee true, BTW, masons and guys who put calligaphy on stones wouldn't be the same people generally. Hell, the gangs that carved big blocks on quarry and ones shaping them at construction site wouldn't even be the same.
