I don't watch "ancient aliens"; neither am I supporting it. But I do believe archeological evidence shows signs of advanced civilizations, and the mainstream analysis is quite....biased?
No Atlas, see there is a very big difference between the "ancient aliens" community and the actual scientist community. Archaeologists while encountering a past monument might not always know how it was made, and they will claim that they don't know. Then they'll present their hypothesis on how it might have been built and move on to finding proof for their hypothesis. On the other hand, a person from the AA community simply points to that gap in knowledge and claims "aliens did it". There is no attempt to form an actual hypothesis and/or back it up with evidence.
Also, regarding your or any other holy scriptures, they are written by humans claiming to be inspired by god. There is no reason to believe that claim if you don't trust humans. And in reality you shouldn't trust humans, rather you should base your trust upon evidence that can be verified and re-verified as needed.
