    My mother-in-law, who is very religious but basically never pushes it on me, once said to me, “it’s really interesting. You don’t have to be religious to enjoy it.” I just nodded and smiled.

      There were some aspects I liked. They demonstrated some construction techniques people could have used to build something similar 5000 years ago. That was neat. They used some carpentry found in archeological digs from the time. I am a sucker for some of the old PBS Nova specials on how ancient Egyptians build obelisks, pyramids, things like that.

      It just gets buried in the schlocky pseudo-science really quickly. It’s a hard pivot from sewage systems, to people riding dinosaurs like horses, to lap joints.
