I haven't read Chatelain's book and I doubt I shall. I've read two long critiques and excerpts from chapter 4 (the one with the Maltese cross in the Agean) and that was enough to convince me that it would be lost time to read the whole book. Not for the conclusions that might be contrary to my convictions (I actually love reading books contrary to my convictions for I can learn more from them) but for the man doesn't get the simplest facts right. He's postulating that ancient astronauts have managed to place a geostationary satellite above Delos (a Greek island). A geostationary satellite above Delos cannot exist (if it orbits freely only under gravity influence)for simple physical reasons. And I have a prejudice that someone who gets his basis physics wrong cannot be trusted in other parts as well.
