Let me guess - it was written by a certain Erich Von Däniken??
EvD, ooo what a prick:
This is Pacal the second's sarcophagus lid from Palenque, Chiapas, MX. It shows the Ahau at the moment of death, falling into the jaws of the underworld. This is a colorised image, kinda "coloring bookish" in style, but it clarifies the complex iconography.
Here's EvD's take on the same image. It's clearly an astronaut in the motorcycle-like cockpit of a spaceship, because everyone knows little brown jungle dwelling monkeys could never comprehend something as complex as stone architecture.

Von Däniken has probably never heard of Occam's Razor.... or he just deliberately ignores it.

Lets say you have the technology to visit other worlds and you find a primitive culture,i din`t think you`ll go with the ST prime directive crap you would descend on this world and take a look before leaving.
and for some of the stories in the bible i`m sure they saw something like ufo, if they were imagining seeing things it would have been the usual like demons,dragons sea monsters or angels.

Right Im back to finish what I started yesterday...
The general concensus among archeologists is that human civilisation is around 10,000 to 8,000 years old...
Based on things Iv seen & read I believe that human civilisation is a bit older...
Im not sure if I want believe the 120,000 years that some place on the pyramids & sphinx (& incidently many other sites around the globe) - which seem to be based on the way certain sites are located in realtion to either the stars or the north pole...
I think 20,000 years is fair to encapsulate many older myths such as Atlantis (which was probably a country that was destroyed in the flood)
I don't have any concrete evidence to back my belief up so don't expect me to argue excessivley...
Atlantis is part of a story made up by Plato in order to teach moral lessons about ideal societies. He was not talking about a real place, nor did he ever claim to.

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.
Oh sh*t. Do they seriously believe in this stuff themselves?
Raelianism is a religion invented by the French. No further elaboration is necessary, that statement speaks for itself.
