    I’m convinced that these conspiracies are spawned from racism towards non white civilizations. It’s easier for them to believe an imagined space God came there and built something rather than the indigenous people. There is also probably some need to believe that we are always at the peak of human progress in all things but in reality the story is more complicated.

      I don’t think it’s racially motivated, it just appears that way because very few ancient civilizations were white to begin with. If Britain were an ancient civilization, we’d have the whitest kids you know telling us how Big Ben was built by the Gods, and is secretly a time machine.

      And every sci-fi show ever would have an episode about it
