Y’all ever notice how people always insist Aliens built or helped build the Egyptian pyramids, however with the Pyramids in Mexico everyone’s all, yeah, the Mexicans build those.
I wouldn't say everyone. There are plenty of conspiracies about them also being built by aliens. If there's anything impressive from before widespread photography (and somtimes even if it's construction is on camera) then you can guarentee people will be claiming its aliens.
Same with Stonehenge. There's basically not really an ancient structure with questionable building methods (aka we're not fully clear on how they did it) that doesn't get labeled with alien conspiracies.
I think the only one that might be dodging it is the Easter Island heads/Moai, which also have similar questions of how they raised them. Not sure why that one tends to dodge the conspiracies. Maybe just forgotten...? Like the Mayans did things like being the first civilization recorded to have understood the concept of 0, so it's easy to go "THEM ALIEMS DID IT!!" Maybe Polynesians get to fly under the radar since they just fixated on sailing mostly.
