That kinda works in post-Soviet countries. "It is impossible to build this factory in such bloody mountains!" or "there's no chance that thing flew, not according to the modern engineering" or "this factory is automated to make bread out of raw ingredients? No, it wasn't possible in 1930"
The Tour Montparnasse is just a giant JBL speaker that fell out of the sky, lost by a race of giant tourists in Paris.
Yeah, I've actually heard it. In all seriousness someone claimed neoclassical architecture in New York was proof that the Greeks and Romans visited the Americas long before the Europeans got here
Well yeah, do you think Americans can cooperate? Look at them. No way any one of them could make a whole building on their individualist exceptional lonesome either.
Sure. We'd have to adapt the conspiracy theory a bit to make it believable.
I'd like to propose one that also explains the suspicious abundance of banks and real estate offices. They were secretly funded by alien pedophile cabals so they could spy on the populace and mind control them. The initial alien expeditionary forces mistakenly reported back that bankers and real estate agents are the most beloved people on earth so they thought it would be the perfect disguise.
you expect me to believe that 20th century humans built this? without ai assistants or microsoft teams??? yeah right.
America couldn't build a bass pro shop
If you look closely, you can see that the pyramid's builders inscribed the exact date of completion: BRONZAGE.
This ancient mural depicting a siren could be found in all the major settlements of the time. This could indicate they were a seafaring people.
wait, holy shit i just noticed... i think this building was made by the tartarians! i mean, they even left their signature there! how is no one talking about this??6???
Holy Shit! That is even pyrimad shaped. There's no way a 20th century human built that without also getting guidance from the same Aliens 👽 that showed the Egyptians and Mayans. Amazing!
Apartment complex? Solid. No holes.
Now the eiffel tower? There are so many holes in there. Made of metal like those soda cans that can bend so easily. Must be aliens
One of my previous apartment buildings has a reputation in the area for being a cryptid. Something about its hallways causes people to get lost super easilly. Everyone who lived there, myself included, only took a few practiced routes out of the building as to not take a half hour detour lost in the endless industrial corridors.
You guys have heard of windows, right?
Sorry my previous comment didn't explain: you gotta choose something which won't have tens of thousands of pages of architectural documents describing exactly how humans made it.
U.K. Parliament might work.
Then how about The Central Research Institute of Robotics and Technical Cybernetics? Doubt those documents would have survived the dissolution of the USSR.
Or do we have to pick something completely mundane?
Idk. Parliament checked my boxes.
You mean the Oldest House?
The AT&T switching/NSA spying tower that is supposed to survive a nuclear blast?
A statue asking for the poor and hungry in America? Bah, inconceivable
was widely derided as a joke by pundits within the US, when it was installed
You expect me to believe Americans built row houses a century ago? They can't even do that today with modern technology.
Oh my god!
Modern building codes can’t even begin to comprehend the Los Angeles “Dingbat” apartment. Modern requirements say that “soft story” buildings are not safe in Earthquakes - yet some of these apartments still endure across Southern California.
How were they doing it 60 years ago? Where did these apartment blocks come from? What evidence remains of the methods used in construction?

Well, and some of them don't. Some of them killed people in earthquakes.
Ancient Architect theorists believe there may have been other reasons those collapsed.
Whether it is due to ley lines, morphic fields, or seismological refits - we may never know.
"It wasn't aliens!" - Says the people who work at a flying saucer looking building! I bet it doubles as a landing place for the aliens!!!
You see, this used to be a whole building! But now its just the outer ring because the middle is actually a space colony!
I'm pretty sure the usa 🇺🇸 couldn't build Hoover dam today.
No shit, there's already a dam in the way, dummy,
Damn, forgot about that. 🤦♂️
It would be called the Trump Dam and would break down immediately.
But it would be golden
I'm pretty sure the usa today couldn't build a swimming pool
Well, swimming pools seem a lot more difficult than reflecting pools.
I'm a flat baseballer. Baseballs are actually flat. Otherwise, there's just no way that a knuckleball could work. Think about it.
Also, the home plate isn't a pentagon. It's a square. And the so-called "diamond" is actually a triangle. Left field is a sphere, right field is a torus, and the fans watch from a hyper cube.
Reminds me of the time cube
Yeah - the “mudflood” shit is all over Facebook. I was really surprised at this post because it’s not hard to find people who believe this already.
Oh sure, when I get diarrhea so bad it takes out the town's sewage system the mud floods are a conspiracy, but the story from Russia is on Wikipedia
Was visiting an old town in Italy over the summer and joked with my wife, "You're claiming an Italian moved these giant rocks out to form a peer? Impossible. Must have been aliens."
Of course, she rebuted that this is ridiculous. We know how Italians moved big stones. They just asked a friendly Cyclops.
They just asked a friendly Cyclops.
Nobody did that.
