    i think it's a joke.

    first absurd thing: if they really built the parthenon would'nt anybody have noticed.

    second absurd thing:and they would have to build alot more like, sparta, troy, everything from battles, all poems, fake records and this would take more then a bunch of historians to achieve.

    third absurd thing:would'nt anyone se the costrucktion of these ruins like locals and such.

    It is easy to fake the year of publication, if you print a book

    And inventing the existence of people like George Chapman was part of the project, just to make everything more credible. Nobody ever cared to verify the existence of the alleged translators of ancient greek literature and history, or other authors who based their works on it - William Shakespeare is the only exception I know of.

    The gall of these people. To try to take away the credits for the achievements of ancient civilisations from the aliens

    Humans are aliens................ to other aliens Time is a human concept, ergo time travellers must be aliens, unles you are the time traveller in question in which case you would have known I was going write this and post your reply before I posted this..... Unless of course Im a time traveller, in which case I can go back, read your reply, then post my first post and no one else will know either of us are time travellers.
