Good point.
That's what happens when building construction is outsourced to the lowest bidder ;)
While I completely agree the Pyramids are a marvel and a mystery, it is partially a result of our naive belief that we are far more advanced than our ancestors that leads us to shake our heads and come up with wild speculation.
Many early civilizations were extremely advanced in engineering, architecture, mathematics, etc. They also worshipped their gods in a way that make current cultures look atheist by comparison. The time and effort put into projects like the Pyramids seem so monumental - and possibly wasteful - to us now ("all that work for a king?") that we have difficulty grasping how (and why!) they did it.
So I go back to my earlier point. Just because we can't explain it in terms we understand, that doesn't mean the next logical answer is that aliens came down and built them. Between the 2 theories, I think highly intelligent and motivated humans building them instead of aliens is a far more reasonable (and simple) conclusion.
Same goes for crop circles ... and we certainly have the technology to make them, as for motivation? You'll have to ask the people that did them
