It reminds me of a book I read in 1970, <b>Chariots of the Gods, </b>by <b>Erich Von Daniken</b>. Von Daniken postulated that many famous ancient monuments like the pyramids of Egypt, Meso-America, & the stone sculptures of Easter Island were made by extraterrestrial beings who visited our planet <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The book was a popular best seller that was later made into a movie. Of course most of Von Daniken's ideas were debunked & he was later charged with plagiarizing many of the ideas in his book <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
