Sure but, E.T.'s of any kind would have the technological means to destroy any "evidence"
...except for the rocks they cut for some odd reason....lol
I personally think that its possible that ancient people did have much more spiritual powers than we have today.
That they had intense religious feeling can be ascertained by what they built. Did they have paranormal powers? Probably not or at least there is no evidence that they did. They seemed to have done a lot of hard work with their hands, basic tools and single minded devotionedit on 28/2/12 by Hanslune because: (no reason given)

Anyone who seriously believes that the sharply cut, complex architectural blocks at Puma Punku were hewn from granite rocks with copper chisels and saws needs to have his or her head examined.

Rocks were cut by humans, with alien technology. Kind of like how we attempt to give some of our advanced tools to chimpanzees to see what they do with them. We won't necessarily destroy what they create, but most likely we will take the tools back, so they don't hurt themselves or us.

...and these aliens did this from 4,000 BC to 1,500 AD? All over the globe just cutting rocks?

Your right, we can't comprehend the reasons, so it must not be true.
I forgot that we are the smartest beings in the universe, and know everything.
So that if we come across something we don't know, it must not exist.

Well then I guess we can't rule out, that thousands of years ago, man visited the moon, or went into orbit.

Change of subject? You could believe that if you wish the evidence for it is a tad thin thou, despite lots of very fuzzy images full of compression artifacts - but that would be kinda off topic don't you think?

Location: Piazza del Popolo, Rome, Italy
Pharaoh: Seti I (reigned 1318-1304 B.C.)
Height: 75 feet
Weight: 263 tons
Story: Seti I decorated three sides of this obelisk, while his son Ramses II carved the fourth and erected the obelisk in the sun temple at Heliopolis, a capital of ancient Egypt. In inscriptions on one side of the monolith, Seti I describes himself as "the one who fills Heliopolis with obelisks that their rays may illuminate the Temple of Re." Ramses II, one of history's greatest self-aggrandizers, styled himself as one who made "monuments as innumerable as the stars of heaven. His works join the sky. When Re shines, he rejoices because of [the obelisks] in his temple of millions of years."
In 10 B.C., the obelisk was re-erected at the Circus Maximus in Rome to celebrate Augustus' conquest of Egypt. Sometime later it toppled, to be resurrected in the 16th century under Pope Sixtus V. In 1589, it became the centerpiece of the Piazza del Popola in Rome, where three major avenues of the city converge.
Location: Piazza S. Giovanni, Laterano, Rome, Italy
Pharaoh: Tuthmosis III (reigned 1504-1450 B.C.)
Height: 105.6 feet
Weight: 455 tons
Story: The so-called Lateran obelisk is the largest standing obelisk in the world. Its inscriptions state that while it was begun during the reign of Tuthmosis III, it lay in the craftsmen's workshops for 35 years and was finally erected by his grandson Tuthmosis IV. The only single obelisk ever put up in Karnak Temple (obelisks usually came in pairs), it was removed under the orders of the Roman emperor Constantine (A.D. 274-337), who hoped to raise it in his new capital at Constantinople. He died before the obelisk ever left Egypt, and his son and successor Constantius (A.D. 317-361) had it taken to Rome, where it was re-erected in the Circus Maximus.
At some unknown date and by some unknown cause, the obelisk fell. It was not until the 16th century that Pope Sixtus V ordered a search for the monolith. It was found, in three pieces, some 23 feet down in the former Circus Maximus. On August 3, 1588, after more than a year of effort, the Lateran obelisk was raised in the Piazza San Giovanni in Laterano, where it has stood ever since, a Christian cross at its apex.

Perhaps they would just prefer not to waste time on somebody who clearly knows the way of the world so well and cannot be wrong. Im sorry to be such a burden but i prefer the testimony of many distinguished scholars who provide a wealth of evidence on the subject,
Like the oh so "distinguished scholar" Zecharia Sitchin whos only degree is in economics, yet you take his books as truth?
en.wikipedia.org...
Sitchin's ideas were rejected by scientists and academics, who dismiss his work as pseudoscience and pseudohistory. Sitchin's work has been criticized for flawed methodology and mistranslations of ancient texts as well as for incorrect astronomical and scientific claims.[2]
His "Critisisms" section is larger than his "Ideas and works" and "Popularity" sections combined

Of course, as I noted earlier a 11th century European cathedral is completely beyond anything the Egyptians, Sumerian or the Meso-Americans could come up with, so was the Parthenon.
