Giant granite blocks articulately carved.... Cities built with these materials on top of mountains... How the heck?
Right now, I'm subscribing to the idea that humans had gone through a slight evolution where our minds were wire for grit and we worked until we got things done.
The problem with aliens having done these things is that there would be at least ONE ship or tool left behind. Yet nothing.
What I want is for a show where sets of civil engineers go in teams for a year to try and build something with privative tools3
no way did they have the saws/lathes back then to cut 1200 ton stones to a precision that we cannot get today. One of the best examples of tech that is far ahead of anything we can do is how they carved out thin bowls out of granite to a precision where the rounded bowl sits up beautifully. over and over they were consistent with this. no fucking goobers before the bronze age did this.
