The circumstances of that disappearance, if they were known, would no doubt transform our understanding of American Prehistory.

In explaining some of the stranger prehistoric artefacts, Dr mentions that earlier civilisations saw great importance in the state of the skies, but, like most established scientists, seeks not to reason why. However ... drawings in Africa and elsewhere, the Mayan calendar; the Piri Re'is Map: were these puzzling relics created by visitors from other worlds?
