with megaliths that have been explained by aliens. As an aside, there are simply far fewer impressive prehistoric structures in Europe compared to the the Near East, India and other placed closer to the center of the agricultural revolution which rpedate written records.

I don't know what you mean by "a regular basis" but here is a recent attempt to explain maltese megaliths with aliens https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27133303/
