Daeniken found the tiger's tail but he has no clue what the tiger is all about. To claim that Troy was the location of Atlantis shows total ignorance of the situation in ancient times when gods were living among humans. To claim that Delphi was a landing site for extraterrestrials is just as naive as declaring the Nazca lines and images related to landings of aliens.
It is amazing how successful someone can be if he talks convincingly about a topic nobody knows anything about

What do you think about this

Is life -- nothing but a molecule trying to attain chemical as well as nuclear stability-- the molecule being DNA

In his book "Odyssey of the Gods", he mentions that the historians (in the olympic era from 776 BC ) kept the detailed record of the events with date. Whatever the dating system used, I wish to know what was their reference point to mark the dates?

Try this: - http://www.polysyllabic.com/Greek.html Seems they used the Olympiads as a reference: - "Olympiad 1,1 correlates to 776 BCE. We do not actually need to believe an actual festival was held on this date, but when Greek historians are writing in later times, they date their own events using this as the epoch. We can establish a precise correlation to the common era from a variety of different sources, but the most definitive comes from a passage in Diodorus, where he dates the year of a total solar eclipse to the reign of the Athenian archon Hieromnemon, which he also gives as Ol. 117,3. The only astronomically possible date for this event is August 15, 310 BCE, which fixes our epoch."

JS, have you seen this site of links, a good place to look around: - http://www.thwww.com/mrwizard/wizardAH.HTM
