You can of course
think what you wish. It's asserting it to be true with no evidence to back it up that's wrong.

Now I think the wrong assumption is that if there an alien race, they are definitely more advanced then ours? Why? Why do they have to be more advanced?

Two reasons:
1. If they were not more technologically advanced, they would not be capable of interstellar travel.
2. The statistics overwhelmingly favour it. The earth has been around for some 4.5 billion years. Humans have been "civilized" for - let's be generous and say about 6000 years (the first cities appears in the 4th millennium BC). That means that we have had a civilization for approximately 0.0001% of the lifetime of the Earth or, to put it another way, there has been no civilization on this planet for 99.9999% of its existance. If, therefore, another civilization does exist, the odds would be vastly remote that it would be at such an amazingly early stage of its life as ours is.

What I think is the Egyptians had better technology then we think (and PLEASE do not confuse technology as a computer, or electronics, the WHEEL was a form of technology, just as fire, and stone hammers were). They have drill bits that have diamond marks in them in egypt, but can't find the diamonds.

Evidence, please?

Some granite blocks are so large and cut to perfection and smooth, that they cannot believe that it was just a copper hammer that did it, as they cannot recreate it themselves.

So the fact the Egyptians were superb stonemasons means that they were taught be aliens? I'm sorry, but that's laughable. Egypt is a country where stone is pretty much the only building material available. Naturally they were skilled stonemasons.

I know everyone says they had a lot of labor, but how many people would it take to move a 100 ton stone?

On rollers? A few hundred. So what, when you have a workforce numbering in the hundreds of thousands available to you?
