1st Orion, I, as are others here, am sick of the smartazz punks that have nothing to add of constructive nature yet are compelled to cruise this site and attempt to be glib and sarcastic. It is an indicator of ignorance that it taxes my nerves.
People have expressed an undercurrent of negativity against von Daniken. If they actually knew anything they would realize that he was simply the catalyst that got the ancient alien/ancient technology concept more public. His books were not the 1st. Most of my volumes are pre-von Daniken. OK so he popularized the ideas that many other pioneered. Not liking him is misplaced aggression and by no means negates the concept.
The whole "thing" about unexplained objects and places is far greater than most people know or wish to acknowledge. It's not simply these strange holes, it's the myriad other things that can't be explained away with sarcasm, smirks and hateful dialogue. You can go to out "ancient astronauts" thread and see what has been kicked around.

Many of us only wish to discuss the possibilities.
