Ph.Reclus

Dressing the account of all the « evidence » accumulated by their many embles would fulfill an encyclopedia, as well as bringing together all the counterattacks written by a host of scientists and rationalists allergic to this theory. Certainly, historians have some ideas on the way in which the Egyptians have come to the end of their titanic pyramids; Archaeologists believe that the Nazca was able, by surveying, to draw colossal figures on the ground without recourse to air observation; Anthropologists and prehistorians multiply the hypotheses relating to the patterns of the ornate caves; And specialists in religions are not at the course of theories likely to enlighten us as to the meaning of biblical texts without resorting to the forced intervention of Martians. But criticism is useless. The theory of ancient astronauts, even if it gives itself appearances of scientific demonstration, turns out to be invulnerable to the work of a health of reason.
