	Phil's Blogservations Wednesday, February 04, 2004 Posted by philgomes 8:34 PM Chariots Of The Gods And Other Thoughts Chariots Of The Gods And Other Thoughts Lately, I've been occupying the off-hours reading up on paranormal phenomena. After watching this video about the upcoming Alien vs. Predator movie, I was reminded of the book Chariots Of The Gods by Erich Van Daniken. I bought it for a buck at The Book Shop in Hayward. Though rhetorically unsound in spots, Chariots is a great read. Von Daniken posits that the great structures of ancient civilization — Easter Island's monoliths, Egyptian pyramids, Mayan temples — were the result of human/alien collaborations. In addition to reading, I've also been pretty big on the Coast To Coast AM radio show, hosted by George Noory on the weekdays and Art Bell on the weekends. I found this blurb on the site about one physicist's theory that Egyptians had mastered antigravity. Whu-whu-WHAT? Not likely, but fun to think about. And it certainly would answer a lot of questions. Speaking of paranormal phenomena... Where's my Fields Of The Nephilim DVD, anyway? | HOME | OBSESSIONS | FAQ | HEROES | CAREER | BLOG | CONTACT Note that the views expressed on this site do not necessarily reflect those of Phil's employer, its business partners, its clients, or anyone or anything that doesn't come from Phil's demented imagination. Hell, to be perfectly honest, even Phil disagrees with what he thinks sometimes. This site has virtually no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Clicking on a link doesn't automatically send a 1/2-cent donation to UNICEF. You can't buy, sell, auction, swap, find a date, win friends, influence people, cross the chasm, or decode the human genome using this site. You won't get free email. You won't win a free video game console. This site will not end world hunger, foster peace in the Middle East, help you smell better, teach you how to swing dance, or move the global economy from petroleum to hydrogen fuels. You'll learn a lot about this site's master, though, which amounts to a haphazard collection of strange and useless facts that pretty much won't help you at all.
