Of course, the line that struck me most was,"The intellectual accomplishments of their 9-year-old children were the equal of those of present day college graduates." And this would be different from today because…?

Many people believe this, and the idea that people of older cultures were far more intelligent than we are.

And we wonder why no alien intelligence has ever been seen on Earth . . .

I like this quote: Macklin said legendary advice to American Indians was to seek the lost city in an area within a chain of hills forming "the frog of a horse's hoof."

That's a pretty clever ancient legend, seeing as how horses wre missing from the Los Angeles area for thousands of years until about 1700 or so.
