One of the problems is we view these achievements with 21st century eyes.
Imagine you have 1,000s of people who will work for little more than food. Their lives are cheap, if one dies no one cares much, life was cheap in those times. If one gets his legs broken of back buckled, so what.
The leaders are telling the people we are Gods, not we are in touch with God like some do today. The people are brainwashed into the idea that their Gods need them to build this great monument to ensure his and their after life. What's more important, a life now or an afterlife?
Archimedes was a very brilliant mathematician and build some awesome machines, De Vinci knew how to fly, to build a tank and other things. That if he had the technology of today would have you all amazed. He couldn't build what he knew would work and wasn't in touch with Aliens.
We think just because these people lived 3000 years ago they were unable to figure things out that just took some good basic logic. You can watch a 2 year old construct a pyramid shape with Lego, is he in touch with Aliens?
