It's racist against the human race. They're basically saying humans were too stupid and incapable of engineering feats like these so they obviously had help from extraterrestrials to build their giant stone pyramids.

Nah, there's a reason why we don't talk about Stonehenge in the same ways.

You are correct about the race bias, and it's to a much lesser extent, but people do also say Stonehenge was built by aliens. As early as 1968 apparently.

Some people really want to believe, and why not? It is human not to want to be alone. It's a terrifying prospect. :)
