Though the Pantheon in Rome is a legitimately marvelous piece of engineering that they were somehow able to pull off nearly 2,000 years ago.

The only difference is that the Pantheon says who made it right on the front facade, and obviously the aliens would never lie to us about that.

(I know Agrippa's original structure was actually rebuilt by Hadrian, but still)

Only ROMANS could be so duplicitous as to lie about their work!
