There are structures that dont fit the descriptions of the technology of the inhabitants. Childress made some compilations of these sites.

The Temple of Jupiter at Baalbek, Lebanon has a foundation that contains the three largest stone blocks ever used in a man-made structure. Each block is estimated to weigh as much as 1,000 tons! No super crane in existence today could lift one, yet they are positioned together with such precision that not even a needle could fit between them. Nearby is an even bigger stone. Known as Hajar el Hibla - the Stone of the Pregnant Woman - it lies abandoned in its quarry, never used. But the giant rectangular block is the largest piece of stone ever cut by humans, weighing an incredible 1,200 tons. It is estimated that it would require the strength of 16,000 men to even budge it, and represents a formidable challenge to 20th century machines and technology.
On an isolated plateau at Tiahuanaco Bolivia, 13,000 feet above sea level, stands an impressive monument called Puerta del Sol, or Sun Gate. The elaborately carved gate weighs an estimated 10 tons, and how it arrived at its present location is a mystery.
Nan Madol, sometimes called "the Machu Pichu of the Pacific," is a great ruins on the island of Pohnpei, capitol of the Federated States of Micronesia. This lost city, constructed around 200 B.C., is made up of hundreds of stacked stone logs, each about 18-feet-long and several feet in diameter. The logs, stacked like cordwood, constitute walls that are 40 feet high and 18 feet thick. Each stone log is estimated to weigh about 2.5 tons. How they were moved and lifted into position is unknown.

Hardly seems possible froggy little natives in leather aprons did what a D11 caterpillar cant. perhaps history as taught is a crock of . . .

To me the most glaring example was a National Geographic article re the "Terra Cotta Army" unearthed in China. Listed among the artifacts is a solid aluminum "buckle" belonging to a general. If you know anything about aluminum that is impossible. Takes electricity to refine aluminum and lots of it. Not jar batteries.

there are no archeological sites that couldn't be constructed using today's technology

for most of the "controversial" constructions (like the egyptian pyramids and the easter island sculptures) groups have used technology existing at the time of original construction, to show that nothing extrordinary was necessary

and finally, since extra-terrestrials refused to help me build my house (and I can tell you, I needed help, because some of the contractors seemed at times to be the non-building kind of aliens), I refuse to believe they helped other people build their stuff

I think the people who say that just haven't thought much about how it could be done with ancient technology. Some of the ancient structures are quite impressive, but there's no reason they couldn't be built using hand tools, ramps, rollers, ropes, and thousands of slaves. You can even find the mistakes the ancient architects made that pretty much prove super alien technology had nothing to do with it.

There is some mystery surrounding how ancient peoples could build some of their structures, but just because we can't exactly explain how it was done does NOT mean that aliens did it.

Yes there are a lot of wacko theories out there. Check out the one below.

Maybe it was done by a race of humans that wiped themselves out of existence.
