[redwitch]

Adam/Eve navels in art. Really simple explanation -- they were paintings, not photographs and subject to artistic interpretation. I doubt the people of Michelangelo's or Reuben's time would have accepted Adam and Eve without navels. And let's not forget that witches had red hair, the evil eye could ward a witch off, the plague was caused by evil spirits, not fleas. All verifiable medieval facts.

As to the Peru discovery, who knows? The sources cited certainly aren't mainstream or scientific sites. When living in SF, I'd listen to KSFO for comic relief when it changed to talk format. So glad to hear it hasn't changed. I'd be seriously surprised if there weren't other life forms in this universe, some with more advanced technology, some with less. Could they have visited and died here? Entirely possible. However, unless a living alien deigns to visit and reveal itself to the world, I doubt we will ever know for sure until we travel to the stars. Until then, it is all conjecture.
