FTFY
The ancient aliens theories are founded in racism. Just cause they were brown that doesn't mean they weren't sophisticated and needed help from aliens.
It doesn’t need to be racism, the reason for claiming aliens was because it was so complex they didn’t see how ANYONE could do it even with 1900s technology. Like I never heard a person claim it had anything to do with the color of their skin
It doesn’t need to be racism but it sure as hell is. See also: a shit-ton of ancient alien nonsense about Maya or Inca monuments, meanwhile nobody’s out there claiming that Klingons helped build the Parthenon.
They did claim that Stonehenge was an alien creation even though it was built by white folk
Fair point.
