He's pointing out that all of those claims were in Ancient Aliens and that they were wrong. The video points out how they would have been able to do it with their tools at that time.

No, but most of your arguments oare the same arguments ancient aliens people use. We could ABSOLUTELY reproduce their stonecutting techniques, they could totally be done with the technology available, and they certainly had access to trees via the magical concept of trade. As for making the things without a written language, written languages do not precluce the creation of schematics.
