It does often seem to be correlated to reactionary conspiracy sentiments. There is the "non-white people could not have possibly stacked rocks this big!" thing

That had been true for most of our cultural memory though. It wasn't till the mid 1900 our engineering was as good as the Roman's. So in living memory there were people who had the experience of living in a world that wasn't as cool as existed in antiquity.

Now, that does forget that most people in roman times weren't having a good time. Just that their good times were better than ours for most history.
