Who Built This Thing...?

I think it's great that we have some actual mysterious ruins here in the states that we can study on, without having to travel all the way to some foreign country. Of course, that doesn't mean we understand what they are, or who built them. I reckon that's the reason those ruins are considered a mystery, right?

Outside of Salem, New Hampshire, lies the ruins of what some believe to be an ancient settlement. Known today as America’s Stonehenge, the site is made up of numerous man-made stone chambers, walls, and other rock structures.

The site has sparked a series of heated debates among historians and archaeologists as to the origins and use of the complex. The most prominent theory is that it was built by Native Americans some 2,500 years ago and was used for centuries as a place for religious ceremony. Another popular theory suggests that the structures were created and used by Irish monks around AD 1000.

I found this interesting article over on Listverse, needless to say.

Coffee out on the patio this morning, if it's not too wet.
