No sir
I reject the assumption
It's much less of a logical leap to assume that at one point we simply had greater technological skills which we later lost due to some great societal or climatory shift.

So you can find dinosaur skeletons and other artifacts "lost" in various situations but you cannot find "the lost human tech"
that's very selective don't you think? You just brought the same point as a friend of mine was bringing while watching this documentary with me...

....Are you familiar with the Plea to Ignorance? It's a logical fallacy where, when applied to the creation debate, is often used as a (fallacious) proof of God: "I cannnot think of any other means by which this would have happened, therefore God must have done it." It's also called the fallacy of personal incredulity (I think). It can be applied in a lot of ways.
Using that same reasoning to arrive at the aliens conclusion is just as fallacious, and takes an enormously longer leap in logic to arrive at.
Yes, it is just more reasonable to assume that we had techniques, in the ancient past, that we have simply lost. Hell, believing that some terrifying civilization spent a thousand years building that place makes more sense than aliens.
