The Greeks did the same thing. They (easily) worked out the distance to the moon by geometry as did the Egyptians use the same method.
It's not the scriptures. Many ancient cultures knew how to compute distances using geometry. Measured Earth distances and the sun.
If people actually knew something about ancient cultures they would not have to cook up "Oh the fucking aliens done it".
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
