Just some context: Ancient Aliens is racist. It’s roots are literally Nazi.
You see, it’s only achievements in brown countries that need alien help. The Greeks didn’t need ET for the Colosseum, heavens no. We just scratch our head at Africans or Americans building pyramids and stuff.
In the 30s, Nazi “researchers” believed in something I’ll call “Ancient Aryans” which is exactly the same as Ancient Aliens except it’s pure Germans who are visiting these primitive cultures and raising architecture. What happened to the Germans? They were annihilated by in-breeding with locals of course.
The Greeks didn’t need ET for the Colosseum
Aryan ≠ German. Aryan would be closer to modern day Afghan, Pakistani, or maybe Ukrainian? Aryans were from the grasslands east of the urals.
I would think it had more to do with time. Pyramids were built thousands of years before the Colosseum.
Are we implicitly using their units? Metric factors of pi would be quite surprising.
A wheel, no! They just had 1 guy with a really long tape measure

They’d also have to have used ɸ, ℇ, 365, the circumference of the earth, and the speed of light to build it.
But hey, who’s to say they didn’t? Not me! Them ancient Egyptians was wily.
Or they carved the pyramids from the top down after overbuilding a sacrificial structure, That makes it much easier to maintain those sharp lines and accurate angles.

Which is a technique even wilier than previously mentioned.
