Not really "reptilian" related, but another good mainstream history killer:
Petra is not only 2x taller than the prized Greek Parthenon, but it is also carved out of a solid mountain.
It also features Greek-like architectural motifs. Given these facts, there are two possibilities:
1. Petra was built by the Nabataeans, a bunch of pastoralists who copied Greek architectural styles, but inexplicably were able to build MUCH larger, and used techniques completely unknown to the Greeks to carve solid rock out of mountains, creating structures more impressive than anything ever built in Greece or Rome
2. Petra is much older than claimed (remember, you can't actually date stone), and so-called "Greek" architecture is just a copy of something much older and from a much more advanced group of people or beings.
