The original post is very interesting and balanced. I enjoyed it, thank you for taking the time to post it.
Whereas IMO there is life outwith this planet, there are possible explanations for much of what you describe.
I have read Chariots of the Gods. I once had the bad judgement to ask my Peruvian husband if he thought aliens created the Nazca Plain drawings and if he thought the lines were part of a landing strip for alien craft. Ridicule doesn't cover it. Apparently these were created by intelligent life in Peru, not space. They are some kind of seasonal calendar relating to the planting of crops...and this is visible from the surrounding mountains if you know what you're looking for. To me, why would anyone build a calendar only visible from a mountain top, but Peruvians don't mind going up there and do so for ceremonial purposes so...not aliens then.
Their Incaic buildings and the enormity of the stones used, the way the joints are so seamless you can't slide a paper between the rocks all are very impressive. This too is down to Peruvian craftmanship, not aliens. All I can say is they are a people who work very well as a team, they are very cooperative and amiable and will work hard when they begin. I think it probable they did build Macchu Picchu and there are examples of this type of building in Cusco and other locations, not just at the mountain top. Most places are at the top of an Andean hill in Peru anyhow.
I visited Teotihuacan, the pyramids of the sun and moon, in Mexico and have seen other depictions of bearded men in such places. This is a bit odd as latin men don't grow much hair on the sides of their faces, I think this is why you see spanish aristocrats with those silly wee moustache and beard arrangements...the hair just doesn't grow outside the central facial area. For example, if my husband lets his facial hair grow, it only grows in the centre of his chin and his moustache. It indicates that the men depicted may have come from a different culture. But this means nothing. I am blonde with green eyes, my sister is shorter, dark with blue eyes. In Morocco, a man and his grandson asked to touch my arm to see how my skin felt as it looked so different to them, and also my hair because they are used to dark hair. I appeared as alien to them as anything can be. The ruling family may just happen to have had certain physical characteristics which distinguished them from the crowd.
If you visit Rosslynn Cathedral here in Scotland, which has always been a miraculous place to me but is fairly widely known now because it features in the "Da Vinci Code" book, in the carvings within the cathedral there are depictions of types of crop which only grew in the US at that time. The US had not officially been discovered, but William St Clair and his friends were avid adventurers and travelled widely. It is believed they had visited the Americas and the carving depicted what they saw on their travels. I don't suggest associates of these particular people travelled and became blond mummies, but the Danes, Norwegians, Swedes, French, Germans, the Dutch, us Scots and the English, take your pick...all were in the habit of taking out a boat and not coming back for several years, for example on crusades. I am sure we were in that habit even prior to the crusades and that a few of the ships went AWOL from time to time and washed up in unexpected places.
