I find ancient alien theories fascinating and to be honest, a lot of religion could be explained by their existence. The one thing I don't like to do, however, is downplay human accomplishment. It is easy to look back and say, "Oh, we were really stupid and primitive back then. There is no way anyone could have come up with that stuff." Wrong. We are just as intelligent as we were 3,000 years ago. There were ancient Einsteins in every ancient civilization. The difference is the WAY we thought. As oojay pointed out, there was no distinction between science and religion. Now there is. People thought differently as little as 100 years ago. They were still just as intelligent as us.

So. Go ahead with the AA theories, just please stop trying to use mathematical and technological accomplishment as evidence. Humans have been pretty clever throughout history.
