Having to help a primitive civilization build something without sharing any futuristic technology with them sounds like the plot of a star trek episode.

If it goes like the only "building something by hand without advanced technology" episode I can think of, the pyramid gets built and then Kira blows it up a minute later. Which, frankly, is a very Kira thing to do.

Wasn't it a bajoran building a farm on a to-be-flooded valley (or metaphor thereof?)
Star Trek humans seems to have internalized angst from post-first-contact jerkiness, and effectively have three levels of interaction :

A kiln. The Bajorans wanted to use a moon as a power plant but people lived there. And apparently they had spent so much time living there (since the end of the occupation) that some old guy didn't want to leave.
He also refused to do anything until he has finished building a kiln. So Kira helped him build it and spent some time getting to know him. Then when it was done she nuked it with a phaser and he finally left.

Sharing this random comic because it’s got a Far Side kind of look to it. I wasn’t able to locate who the original artist for this one was as looking up “Influences of Extraterrestrial Civilizations” brings up alien articles. I was able to locate the original Polish version shared across a number of sites, but that’s about it.

Looks like the style of wilq (they used to publish on www[.]wilq[.]pl, sadly the domain hosts something else now). Here I found a blog post with some more examples of this artist https://maaagdalenka.blogspot.com/2010/07/wilq-1-z-cyklu.html

Thanks. I think I did see that website come up, but it was a dead site so I didn’t realize that was the persons name.

Found the original creator. I just googled the top text, not sure why you weren't able to locate them.

Ah thanks.
I ignored Facebook because I thought it would just be people sharing it. I guess I was assuming it would be on a personal website, Instagram, twitter, or tumblr, or the like since that’s what most comic artists use.
