SKEPTICAL VIEW
The Sirius Mystery
by James Oberg
"But here's the rub: there is no archaeological evidence that the specific references to
the twin hidden companions of Sirius are anywhere near that old. Furthermore, most
Dogon symbology already has multiple levels of meaning; the sketches used to
illustrate the Sirius secrets are also used in puberty ceremonies. Clearly the Dogons
(in common with many other cultures) were fascinated by Sirius, probably because its
position in the sky was crucial to successful agriculture (it's the only star they have a
name for.) Inevitably one must ask, if the Dogons had heard good stories about Sirius
from other sources, would they ignore them or would they quickly adopt them into
their own cultural myths?"
THE DROPAS
"Chi Pu Tei, a professor of archaeology at Beijing University, was leading some his
students on an expedition to survey a series of interlinking caves in the Himalyan
mountains. According to one account, the caves may have been artificially carved,
and were more like a complex system of tunnels and underground storerooms. The
walls were squared and glazed, as if cut into the mountain with a source of extreme
heat. Inside the caves were several ancient, but neatly arranged burial sites, and in
them the skeletal remains of a strange people. The skeletons, measuring a little more
than four feet tall, were frail and spindly with disproportionately large skulls."

ZECHARIA SITCHIN
Zecharia Sitchin was born in Russia and raised in Palestine, where he acquired a
profound knowledge of modern and ancient Hebrew, other Semitic and European
languages, the Old Testament, and the history and archeology of the Near East. He is
one of the few scholars who is able to read and understand Sumerian.
The Earth Chronicles series of books is based on the premise that mythology is not
fanciful but the repository of ancient memories. The first book, The Twelfth Planet,
refers to the probability that there is one more planet in our solar system. That there
are twelve members, counting sun, moon and ten planets, not the nine we know of.
That people from that planet came to earth almost half a million years ago and did
many of the things about which we read in the Bible, in the book of Genesis.

For over 30 years, Erich von Dniken has pursued the theory which postulates that
Earth might have been visited by extraterrestrials in the remote past.

SKEPTICAL VIEW
Erich von Daniken's "Chariots of the Gods?":
Science or Charlatanism?
by Robert Sheaffer, first published in the "NICAP UFO Investigator",
October/November, 1974
"the popularity of such a sensational theory should not be surprising. Immanuel
Velikovsky created a similar stir almost twenty-five years ago with the publication of
his "Worlds in Collision", suggesting that the present state of the solar system can be
explained by a series of spectacular cataclysms among the planets. It has been over
twenty-seven years since "flying saucers" burst into the public's awareness, and
UFOs still continue to generate excitement and controversy. Sensational hypotheses
such as these generate such levels of interest that they tend to become
self-sustaining, quite apart from the question of whether they are true."
