We often to think that the ancients were not as intelligent as we are now. That is simple not true, they were no different than us, just saddled with lack of learning and often a very oppressive church or state religion. The Egyptians and the Greeks and Romans all built some astonishing buildings. No aliens, no supernatural magic, just the brains of home-sapiens and the hands with opposable thumbs, and a lot of hard work.
It is really amazing to me that there are still today stone age peoples living and surviving right now. No industry, and the only metals they have is from trading with the civilized world.
The native Americans were a 100% stone age people when the white man brought fantastic technology like metal cooking pots, and guns. And unfortunately a lot of horrible diseases.
