Watched a TV programme about Graham Hancock's theories concerning pre-ancient civilizations that he believes built the pyramids, lived in Atlantis, had extraterrestrial origins and prophesied a global calamity to hit us in the (guess what) near future.
That's the long and short of it, anyway. I remember reading his "Fingerprints of The Gods" book and putting it down very disappointed. My conclusions (please note, I am not an archaeologist and know very little about ancient civilizations) were:
1. He's saying nothing that Von Daniken and others like him didn't say.
2. Like his speculative predecessors, he gives us no more answers.
3. Many of the Ooparts (out of place artifacts) are simply NOT spaceships. For example, one famous little stone carving looks like a spacecraft because its "wings" are at the base of its body, not the top, like a bird. This piece is merely a stone rendering of a fish - not a bird. I've seen the fish and the artifact is a perfect copy.
4. The Nazca lines - what are they? "Don't know" seems to equate to alien landing strips. Same goes for those Inca paintings that look like a pilot inside a cockpit.
5. A slipping of the earths surface (15000 years ago, I can't quite remember) buried all evidence of this superb race of civilized teachers. These same people, that were wiped out by ice falling from the North Pole, flew around in spaceships, built the pyramids, Stone Henge, you name it; but were taken totally and completely by surprise and obliterated as a result.
Does the ancient world really contain such magnificent mysteries? What, if anything remains unsolved, as far as ancient historical feats go (pyramid building and the like)?
Let's cut through all the BS, and get some facts before the nonsense buries us all, or would that be the coming ice age - I better go check my Aztec astronaut superclock, scratch myself some pointless spider lines and get my levitating megalith gear ready!
