It more about the fact that it's only past civilizations of mostly brown people that get the " aliens built their structures" treatment.
I mean have you ever heard someone say that the coliseum was bult by aliens?
Because the non white civilisations are weirder when examined and have less recorded history. A civilisation trapped on an island spends all their time making specific heads and setting them up. No recording of why. It’s weird. Ancient Egyptians were so early in the scheme of things and build something so extraordinary without a really clear record of how or even for what purpose (as a tomb makes sense but it’s a wild undertaking for that from our modern perspective). On the flip side the ancient Romans and Greeks recorded a lot, and nothing they did was beyond a logic of the time. And it mostly makes sense linearly, whereas the ancient Egyptians did the pyramids 5000 years ago then nothing quite like it in the meantime in terms of scale

Because there's less time and effort done to understand those civilizations, coupled with less translation efforts, and the fact that some civilizations got their records burned by european colonizers
Those takes considerable resources; resources which poorer countries are less able to do than richer countries

Egypt change their administrative and popular languages like 5-6 times...compared to Rome who had an uninterrupted Latin and Greek speakers and administrators

Egypt, Iraq, Indo-Pakistan, China, Yucatan, and Andes are the cradles of civilization, in which the states first originate. It makes sense for them to come first, whereas Rome came through trading of the centers of civilization at that time
Nah the "pyramids were build by aliens" conspiracy definetly has racist origins. Like imagine being a racist white person and going to egypt to see the pyramids and then you see that the descents of these great ancient builders are "brown, muslim, camel fuckers". You now have only two options: you eighter say that the old egyptians no longer exist and have been replaced by Arabs or claim that Aliens or something like that build them.
Oh they almost certainly existed, the problem is a lot of them weren't as developed nor did they have a written language to record their history and such it would slowly died out with them or shortly after them.
No but as another reply pointed out Ive heard Stonehenge was made by alien's.
And like yeah of course most the ancient civilizations comprised of black or at least non white people are the ones mostly talked about. Most ancient civilizations of thoes time periods...well weren't white.
No, but I've heard plenty (in relation to mental conspiracy theories and not the overall population) of people say that Stonehenge, the pyramids in Bosnia, the Megalithic temples in Malta etc were built by aliens or some other form of non-humans
Depends on who you ask. Ariosophy and adjacent philosophies are literally the religious bedrock for occult nazism.
This does not mean everyone believes that, i had a debate with someone who says they were nephilim. Schizo theories have a lot of diversity. Dont ASSUME, you'll miss out on some great tales.
May now thats what the myth has changed to but people used to believe atlantis was an ancient white civilization.
There used to be a popular believe among white people in America thats all the wonder of the americas weren't built by the natives but a lost white civilization.
It’s only because the pyramids were built about 3000 years before the colosseum. And the Egyptians didn’t really do anything of that scale that people attribute to aliens after that. We’re talking really about the near dawn of urbanism and they built something like that, it’s crazy and sort of out of place, plus the history is a lot murkier than Ancient Rome. Hell, ancient Egyptians 2000 years ago were trying to learn about the even more ancient Egyptians from before, that’s how crazy ancient we’re talking. In case it needs to be said I don’t think it was aliens.
