In the late 1960's my cousin gave me his copy of the book to read, but I
only got through the first couple chapters before quitting.
Daniken used to come up as a topic on TO in the 1990's (I started
reading TO in 1993) before the ID scam became a topic of interest. I
don't think that Nyikos ever used the nonsense to support his space
alien stupidity, but I did not read very many posts by Nyikos that he
did not post to me.
