A bunch of simple drawings laid out on a large landscape in Peru, of such scale that the picture itself can only be viewed from the air.
Or they were advanced extraterrestrials who were just not very good at drawing pictures in dirt using their spaceship's stylist ray.

From watching the heat waves rise from fires, it is not very far out to assume that ancient people could have designed devices to take them aloft for a period of time.
Simple procedures of stitching together animal skins, simple plant matter weaving or fabric, if it was available, to create a hot air aerial apparatus, which may have been their high tech flying technology of the day.
Slowly taking them aloft then slowly landing as the air cooled.

Actually, some are made on the side of mountains and others can be seen from nearby mountains. Not ruling out OBEs either. Or mathematics.
Scaled up drawings, surveying by line of sight.
