Ancient Astronauts
Never mind the problematic nature of interstellar space travel. Never mind the solid archaeological evidence for human construction of pyramids, mounds and ancient rock paintings. Never mind that humans themselves are really quite capable of magnificent feats without intervention from the stars. Never mind Occam's Razor.When Erich von Däniken published Chariots of the Gods? in 1970, he unleashed a flood of the most humorous, unscientific, and outrageous speculation in the realm of cult archaeology. The problem is, many believed him, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. A quarter century later, the ancient astronauts game is still alive. Take a look at these web sites. After you get done laughing, remember that these approaches are extremely harmful, not only to the conduct of science, but more importantly, to humanity's view of itself and its own stunning accomplishments.
