Well they didn't explore that explaination, they only drew a conclusion that the massive boulders could had been moved by aliens, that it done through alien technology.
Is there simple life eslewhere in the universe?
It could be possible, much more probable than eti's. There are polyextremophiles that exist on Earth that can give us clues to what type these simple extraterrestrial life forms might be like if they exist.
Is there intelligent life elsewhere in the universe?
I would say 'No' unless there is indisputable evidence - like a close encounter.

Exactly, I've always felt that our ancestors are incredibly underestimated by people who believe the "ancient alien" theory. However, Oojay made a good point when he said something like: we're supposed to believe that people who drilled holes in other humans heads because they thought it released their demons were capable of such incredible things? But there is a difference between spiritual thinking and mechanical capability.
