VERY cool! I love hearing news like this.
Btw, your note is very appropriate to this particular forum. One of the things you would have seen in Mr. DeSanto's production was hints of other cultures, such as Mayan or Incan style glyphs/stonework. Check the upper wall areas of the Colonial classroom for an example in the forthcoming slide presentation (from BP.com, BG.com, CF.com and other sites who wish to host the file). I think Sandy currently has a copy of the aforementioned picture on his Cylon.org site as well.

I agree with Michael. Machu Pichu is an amazing place. There are so many misterys around the world that seem to point to a very advanced civilation here around 12000 years ago. Maybe they did find earth

Truth or Fiction? You be the judge in the New Incan city found near Macchu Picchu....

ANCIENT OR ALIEN ARTIFACT MISSING
IN Llactapata: Inca ruins discovered near Machu Picchu ... approximately 50 miles northwest of Cuzco, the old Inca capital, and only two miles from Machu Picchu. ...Was it a strange indeed a Alien artifact could have been uncovered, a unknown metal for the lack of a better explanation a talking helmet with a single red LED eye and some advanced enter-active voice software/hardware wants to communicate with Herman Melville’s fictional first mate of the Pequod, Starbuck?
This ancient or alien artifact is very adamant in that it wants Melville’s Starbuck to kill some called Angela or ‘that crazy star chick’ so a Dr. Z will not ruin the planet Earth with a Cylon attack or 'that stupid kiddy show'?
The interface voice also ‘needs’ Melville’s character to kill the bloodline of ‘that Queen of cheap Bonnie’ and the great, great, great grandfather of ‘the hack Ron’. An Harvard and Stanford team of Archeologist reportedly sold the artifact to Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates, or the estate of Howard Hughes.
None of the afore mentioned will comment about any of this to The Peruvian Government, The United States Government, The United Nations or International Herald Tribune.

Oh no we best not go there Ken, Battlestar Galactica was a clone of (take your pick) Star Wars and/or Star Trek and now it will be a clone of Stargate: Atlantis?

Ken,
You're a treasure! Thanks for all these interesting articles. I've read and been fascinated about these subjects for years. I've noticed a lot of fans of BG share that fascination. Perhaps that's our common denominator but it doesn't seem to touch folks like Hammer and Moore. That's probably the reason they don't understand us and think us strange....
Thanks again....ojai

Hey Ojai,
The commonality I think, is the mysteries of the origin of mankind and our civilization. It's one thing to dig up dinosaurs, it's another to dig up clues to the origin of intelligence on Earth, and even perhaps just to find an untold chapter in history. It's very cool.

Hi all,
Just watched a program on the National Geographic Channel, and they showed something really neat:
https://www.archaeologychannel.org/caralint.html
A city called Caral, which may be the first civilization, complete with pyramids, located in Peru. And even more startling, it may even dispel the belief that civilization evolved as a result of warfare. Caral shows no signs of battlements or weapons, only a vast trade network with coastal and jungle cultures. The city even had an amphitheatre.
Thanks Raymar for introducing this subject, hope you all find this interesting.

Hey Muffit,
Thanks for that link!
I got to visit Chizen Itza (SP?) in Cancun and Tuluum, also on the Yucatan Peninsula about 14 years ago. It was truly incredible. They had a court where they played a game like triad. Of course, the losers were sacrificed to the gods so that their crops would grow....
Interesting, the things they managed to incorporate into Battlestar Galactica in 1978, isn't it?

Hi Raymar!
I saw some drawings of that game - sure does seem like Triad. I have always wanted to visit the Central American ruins, like Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza. I heard the Yucatan has /hundreds/ of undiscovered and discovered but unexplored temples and ruins.
When I studied it in school, I was so sad to hear that the Spanish explorers had burned nearly every manuscript and destroyed nearly all the best temples (especially in Tenochitlan). There were rumors that many important medical discoveries (perhaps a cure for cancer) were in those manuscripts, now gone forever.
It is so amazing that we find pyramids across the world -perhaps there really was an ancient civilization like Lemuria or Atlantis 10,000 years ago? One tantalizing idea by several prominent archaelologists suggests the Sphinx is actually closer to 8-10,000 years old, as evidenced by water damage. I love to imagine...
