It was a temple complex like Malta. They were all over the Islands of the Medertainiumn during the Bronze age. If they do enough digging they might find the chambers where they kept the bones of the children they sacrificed to their blood gods.

Wouldn’t an alien’s head have to be much more enormous? Or is their neuron count higher but denser?

I know cats have smaller brains but more neurons than dogs.

Somebody go find an alien and check. :)
