it's never aimed at, say, Romans

The swarthy Italians would never have had the intellectual base to produce the scutum, it must have been tower shield wielding aliens that brought them such technology!

(really though, the idea that people aren't constantly thinking about their environment and how to improve it is kind of insulting to the intelligence of all of humanity)

The version where it's re-framed as the us highway system being made by aliens is my favorite "americans don't have the technology to accomplish this! They barely understand how it works and can't maintain it!
