The underground complex is absolutely enormous, complemented by strange surface structures buried within the countryside (the large concrete henge is the one most often referred to). Common sense seems to say that there's no reason to suspect that the claims aren't true - of course how far the research went is quite another matter :-) Maybe I'll pick up Nick Cook's book this week sometime. I'm curious as to what evidence he presents for the Nazi research being taken over by the US at the end of the war. Absolutely. It's interesting how research in the last few years has demonstrated that ancient civilisations knew far more about astronomy than anyone previously expected though (I mean the fact that these people knew way more than they were previously given credit for, not the "maybe aliens helped them" angle :-) But as you say, the creation of the structures themselves can be explained away by lots of planning and physical labour. Occasionally archaelogists do try and propose a link between ancient civilisations and magic (and / or aliens) - Graham Hancock seems to be at the forefront of these. :-) Well for the most part they got it right - the Bent Pyramid at Dahshur is the most notable exception. Very impressive engineering though. Anyway, I don't think I've ever been so far off topic ;-) cheers Jules
