I just had a vision of some semi-drunk, grunting Romans stacking the stones with excessive use of power and modified simple machines as a tall Scotsman peeks over Hadrian’s Wall* giving the Gaelic equivalent of “Howdy, neighbor!”
Two Scotsmen quietly taking bets with each other how long before one of the stones falls over and if some guy tries to catch it before it hits the ground.
Family member away at college - the students are being kept on campus - reports a roommate, on the swim team, was part of a contact trace of somebody else (another swimmer? I'm not sure) who might have got it. "We'll get back to you when their test comes back." Nobody in the room gets any sleep that night of course. Next day news returns: test was negative, go on with your life. Nothing like an emotional yo-yo to go along with midterms.
I don't know. You should see some of the stuff I end up with after following Ikea instructions. That pyramid could have been user error and not the alien's fault.
There's a bit more than that. The three pyramids at Giza are among the first being built. We know of several (10-15?) later pyramids which are all smaller and/or collapsed, which fit the narrative of "aliens came, help us build the pyramids, left, and we were never able to build something like that on our own".
"Let's build an henge or two."
