Explanation / Answer
1) Assumptions that are made by the Ancient Astronaut Theorists is that our ancesstors have access to an advance alien technology to build colossal structures.
(a). What evidence do they present to support their arguments?
The evidence is provided by citing the example of Stonehenge. The evidence suggest that some of the stones of Stonehenge were transferred from as far as 200 miles and it is humanly impossible to pull these kind of stones.
Experiments have been done to verify wheather it is possible for a group of human to pull these superheavy stone, they have put hand around the blocks to check wheather is can be moved or not, but the result what came out was that you can't get enough hands in there, i.e. you can have the amount of force needed to lift that kind of stones.
(b). What conclusions are they asking you to accept?
They concluded that it is quite possible that ancient aliens using anti gravity and sonic levitation technology helped humans to create these kind of structures because otherwise there is no valid explanation of how these structures were
