Many people don't understand how ancient cities and temples were built.  Many of them use rocks that weigh several tons each.  And the rocks fit together so tightly that a razor blade won't go between them.

    The people of today find that impossible.  They theorize that the builders must have used some kind of magic.  That they used some mysterious method to make the rocks light as a feather and another to make them soft like putty so they would fit together.  Others, that many thousands of slaves were worked mercilessly to get them built.

    The idea that it was simply done with a lot of hard work over a long period of time is simply unacceptable.  In an age when we always look for quicker, easier ways to do things, hard work for decades or even centuries is unthinkable.  That citizens, not slaves, would spend their lives building a temple or city can't be real.  That a group of twenty or thirty would work all day to get one rock in place on top of another, then spend the next day rocking that rock back and forth, back and forth, until the area between was worn down to the point where they fit together perfectly.  No, that can't be it!  Impossible!  It must have been magic.
