Most of the alien conspiracy stuff about the pyramids and other large structures assumes the ancient civilizations were run by idiots.
In fact, the rulers often had extremely smart, practical versions of our engineers working for them. Virtually all of the things modern conspiracists claim was “impossible” for their time has been shown to be completely possible, with ingenious solutions using the technology of the time.
It is our lack of imagination in the use of ancient tools and methods that makes us doubt the potential of ancient human engineers and workers.
The were just as smart as we are, they were just limited to different tools and technology.
For example: Thor Heyerdal, on Easter Island asked locals how the massive statues were raised, and how the stone topknots were put in place.
The native said “we know how” then, they demonstrated how they did it with a medium sized statue.
Rollers, leverage, technique, and a fair amount of human labor. That is how they did it.

I should add: many claims are simply false. They are embellishments of astounding work, but exaggerated to make the equivalent of clickbait.
