No more of a stretch than you attributing architecture and mathematics that are thousands of years out of place to civilizations who barely understood crop rotation and tried to solve people's emotional problems by drilling holes in their head to let the "demons" out.

Besides the numerous pyramids, ziggurats, and obelisks, the Nazca lines defy most scientific logic. As well as the numerous monoliths (The Trilithon at Baalbek, the giant stone heads of Moai on Easter Island, the Puma Punka stones of Bolivia, etc.)
Theres ia also the numerous refernces to seemingly ET technologies and events in ancient religious texts.

And it’s smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace; and the mountain quaked exceedingly

As well as the flying Vimanas of ancient India, Ezekiel's Chariot, the flying Gods and Murats in the Mahabharata.

“The gods, in cloud-borne chariots…bright celestial cars in concourse sailed upon the cloudless sky.”

“…loud roaring as the winds make the mountains rock and reel…(as they) lift themselves aloft…these verily wondrous, red of hue, speed on their course with a roar over the ridges of the sky…and spread themselves with beams of light…bright, celestial, with lightning in their hands and helmets of gold upon their heads.”

There is also the Divine Throne Chariots mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls
Quote:

“The Divine Throne-Chariot draws its inspiration from Ezekiel(1:10) and is related to the Book of Revelation. It depicts the appearance and movement of the Merkabah, the divine Chariot supported and drawn by the cherubim, which is at the same time a throne and a vehicle. The ‘small voice’ of blessing is drawn from 1 Kings 19:112: it was in a ‘small still voice’ that God manifested himself to Elijah. In our Qumran text this voice is uttered by the cherubim and it is interesting to note that although the Bible does not define the source of the voice, the ancient Aramaic translation of 12 Kings (Targum of Jonathan) ascribes it to angelic beings called ‘they who bless silently.’”

“The Throne-Chariot was a central subject of meditation in ancient as well as in medieval Jewish esotericism and mysticism, but the guardians of Rabbinic orthodoxy tended to discourage such speculation. The liturgical use of Ezekiel’s chapter on the Chariot is expressly forbidden in the Misnah; it even lays down that no wise man is to share his understanding of the Merkabah with a person less enlightened than himself…”

Quote:
“…and the cherubim utter blessings. And as they rise up, there is a divine small voice and loud praise; there is a divine small voice as they fold their wings.
“The cherubim bless the image of the Throne-Chariot above the firmament, and they praise the majesty of the fiery firmament beneath the seat of his glory. And between the turning wheels angels of holiness come and go, as it were a fiery vision of most holy spirits; and about them flow seeming rivulets of fire, like gleaming bronze, a radiance of many gorgeous colors, of marvelous pigments magnificently mingled. The spirits of the Living God move perpetually with the glory of the wonderful Chariot.
“The small voice of the blessing accompanies the tumult as they depart, and on the path of their return they worship the Holy One. Ascending, they rise marvelously; settling, they stay still. The sound of joyful praise is silenced and there is a small voice of blessing in all the camp of God.”
