Image transcription: 4 panel comic by War and Peas: 1. two pharaohs from ancient egypt are standing in front of a pyramid whose construction is nearing completion. One says to the other, "You've outdone yourself this time, Babuthep." 2. he continues, "You'll be remembered for this throughout history!" 3. "It's a testament to human ingenuity." 4. time jump to the present day. At an alien conference, someone speaks to an audience, "It was aliens!"

If I remember right, Stargate's antagonists didn't build the pyramids, they had them built. By humans. (And even if I don't remember right, it's still plausible.)
The question becomes: How much alien tech was needed?
Even in that universe, the answer might be "none". People can be remarkably resourceful if told "Here are the measurements. Get to it. Or die."
