I gotta admit, as a cranky skeptic type, I was expecting the OP to end is their post with this, assuming that s/he was just posting anywhere s/he could after being kicked off one too many skeptic sites. LOL

But instead it turned into a very interesting thread with awesome contributions from Planet Peeps, so....and :Lwelcome:, rako.
But yes, we still want to know the answer to UT's question, if you don't mind.
Thanks alot. It is neat hearing a "cranky skeptic-type " actually like something I wrote.
Anyway, typically mainstream scholars believe it was aliens who built the root cellars, not the native Americans.
If extraterrestrials were involved, their presence or traces at ancient sites around the world has been ghost-like. It's like if you are in your kitchen and the pots fly across the room. You have not seen a ghost throw them, you are just following circumstantial evidence or other traces.
So when it comes to New England's megaliths, let's say that nowadays UFO sightings are real and have been sometimes claimed near megalithic sites in New England. A few urban mythmakers have concluded there is a relationship. But the correlation between the sites and the sightings is really not that strong, as opposed to the sightings being any place else in New York and New England. It's not like they are hovering right over the site once a month with dozens of witnesses. It's just a curious-sounding myth.
It's neat for me to think that in Peru or Egypt in 2500 BC people were making pyramids and temples with advanced modern power tools, but the evidence for this is also ghost-like. Tunnel-holes with a few inches' diameter or less have been bored into quite hard megalithic rocks in these regions. That's impressive work for our normal conceptions of architecture from those days. But we never found the power tools. And skeptics have claimed alternate theories. So the aliens and power tools are like the "ghosts" who throw dishware in the kitchen.

Actually, I think ghosts throwing dishware are more likely to exist than the supposed power tools handed to the Egyptians and Peruvians by the aliens. With power tools I would expect to have lots of evidence, and anyway the Egyptians were literate and left written records. If they were ruled by aliens in 2600-1000 BC when they were making the pyramids and super-cool temples, they or others would have written about it. So I think the UFO "Power Tool" theory is probably wrong. Unlike Egyptian power tools that haven't been described in such detail and clarity in ancient writing, a ghost throwing dishes in someone's kitchen is not in normal circumscribed material form and we do have lots of contemporary mass media detailed accounts of ghosts and poltergeists, etc.
Anyway, you guys were pretty nice.
