Nah. It's "ancient" vs "modern". "Modern" is anything well-documented or easily translated into English, "ancient" is anything that lacks documentation or has ambiguous translations. Some things I've seen ancient alien people freak out about: Stonehinge, pyramids, roman dodecahedrons, antikythera mechanism, ancient astronauts, UFOs in medieval/Renaissance art (yes, that is supposedly a thing), Nazca lines, and more.

My point is that anything even remotely weird or inexplicable with any historical ambiguity is up for grabs when it comes to ancient alien theories. At least, that's been my observation.

... anything well-documented ...

There would be a lot more well-documented ancient things if racists hadn't actively destroyed ancient documents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quipu for example.

Okay, but that's not on the ancient aliens people. According to your Wikipedia page, it wasn't ancient alien theorists trying to prove bullshit that destroyed them, that was done by Christian nutjobs hundreds of years before anyone came up with the idea of ancient aliens.

He didn’t say ‘ancient alien theorists’, he said ‘racists’.
