      Obviously your definition varies but I personally count things like the Roman coliseum, Greek Pantheon, Notre Dame and many other cathedrals, not to mention the many castles across Europe.

          It mostly stems from racist or colonial sentiments. It’s a little bit dishonest to insinuate that really it’s unbroken historical records that assuage ancient alien theory and not the racist notion that “savage races couldn’t have possibly built this”.

      European Cathedrals (like the dome of cologne or the Hagia Sophia in istanbul), the Roman limes (great wall structures, plural), Roman aqueducts and the Colloseum, some later pyramides were designed by hellenistic architects (successors of Alexander the Great and his fellowers), further in the past come Stonehenge and other megalite structures, and many more - sadly lost - antique wonders of the world.
