This and Ancient Astronauts both use the same formula. First they start out showing a site, with some intro. Then they give a bare bones scientific explanation, and then, they say but what if...
And then they go onto what if this and that, cherry picking their 'evidence' and ignoring the science. Or they lie. There is one on Ancient Astronauts which discusses the slabs cut on the Peruvian plains. They even say science doesn't have an explanation of how they were made. Or that they were so precise there was no way the 'ancient' world could make them.
I found a debunking site, and its very interesting what they 'ignored'. The site was covered with tools with which the ancients made the slabs, and they've found have made one. And the appratus where they were lifted is still there. They even had part of it on the screen while saying it didn't exist.
Shows which take SO much lisence as these become suspect about any of their 'conclusions'.
