But we haven't really heard you opinion yet, have we? You say that the point of the thread was just something to talk about because you find it interesting, but aren't making any claims. Then you say that you believe it is possible that alines have been here and that there is (artifactual?) evidence that this is so. So just to clarify, perhaps you could give us YOUR opinion on what you think this mountain is all about and what evidence you have to support your claim, whatever that may be.
You must realize that atheists, and scientists in particular, are very skeptical of fringe claims, particularly those as old and debunked as the Von Daniken claims. So what, exactly did you expect? That is, how did you expect people to respond to it? I'm willing to provide any information I can on the geology of that region, but I need specifics on the mountain itself.

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".
- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
