Not including OP in the scope of this, but it gets my goat when armchair archaeologists say “there’s no way these <insert brown person> could have cut a stone block so square, or lifted it, or aligned it accurately with the stars” or whatever magical tech they are seeking to explain with suspiciously Northern European looking Atlanteans or aliens.
