M: You're very quiet, Ann. What are you thinking about? W: This book about Stonehenge. It reminds me of another book I once read about mysterious objects and places. M: It sounds interesting. What sort of things do you mean? W: I don't remember the name of the writer, but he found some quartz beads in Peru that had tiny holes drilled in them. M: What's strange about that? W: They've only just developed a commercial drill that could make such holes. M: Do you rember any other examples? W: Yes, there's an iron tower in India. It's at least 1,500 years old, but it never rusts. M: Wait a minute! I remember reading about lots of lines on the ground dating from about A. D. 500. It was somewhere in Peru again, I think. W: I don't see anything strange about that! M: I haven't finished. You can only see what the lines represent from high in the air. W: And there were no aeroplanes in those days -- or were there? M: Oh, stop it. Of course, there weren't! W: I think it's the same book. It's got a lot of photos in it of cave drawings showing people who look like astronautes. M: And why do you think they look like astronautes? W: Because they have helmets and clothes that look like modern spacesuits. |
