Ancient Astronauts, Esotericism, and Utopian Politics
Jason Colavito has a short post on the relationship of these three areas of study that's a good interest-piquing piece if such connections are new to you. I can recommend it since it links ancient astronaut myths to utopian thinking on both sides of the political...
Is the Idea of Man-Made UFOs a Myth? Part 2
