yepreading back the first point took a burton there, sorry
ok here's the elephant in the room and the point I was hinting at but didn't want to articulate...and maybe i'm playing devil's advocate over this a bit too much now but
108 has been revered as sacred and having a special significance in the Indian subcontinent for thousands of years i.e the indian rosary or set of mantra counting has 108 beads
and also : 1 power 1 x 2 power 2 x 3 power 3 = 108
1st power=1; 2 to 2nd power=4 (2x2); 3 to 3rd power=27 (3x3x3). 1x4x27=108
etc
long before 'science' told us about these measurements (diameters, distances of moon, sun, earth and their close relationship with the number 108 - (moon radius is also 1080 miles)
this just struck me as being odd and quirky enough to be worth pointing out, then again I could be wrong

Oh well that's quite coolstill chariots of the gods / Graham Hancock style nonsense, but do enjoy those kinds of theories.

is that the guy with the " god was an astronaut" bollocks?
nah i was thinking more just very clever ancient mathematicians like the way the ancient greeks knew the earth was round millenia before the world caught up

No, that was Erik somebody. Graham Hancock is substantially milder than Erik von Whatshisface.Hancock's theories are about things like: all pyramids belonging to the same absurdly ancient highly advanced culture, which was similar to but not actually Atlantis but actually it was, and was located in some lost region or continent - which definitely wasn't Atlantis because only fruitcakes talks about the Atlantean Continent and Hancock is a SERIOUS ACADEMIC - let's call it the Batlantean Bontinent. Everything he writes is thoroughly cited, to the dodgiest sources imaginable.
