"An unknown advanced entity did something at some point in the past" does not qualify.

Interestingly, that is the best scientific explanation for many ancient projects. Stonehenge, mounds, giant desert art, Easter Island, etc. Those things are studied by scientists to figure out who did what, when and how. Scientists are not afraid to assume that the figures on Easter Island were "Intelligently Designed" and to study the evidence to see what can be discovered about the process. Every evo I have seen discussing this topic refuses to admit that it is possible to scientifically study something that was "Intelligently Designed".

Clearly, ID and science are not incompatible. ID has not be rigorously studied, not because it is impossible to study, but because those in control of acedemia refuse to allow anyone off the evo plantation.

No, the best explanation is that humans did these things. We know of their existence and their capabilities. ID posits an invisible fantasy person (or people, wink, wink) based on a pre-existing religious conviction that this person exists.
