Similar legends exist among the Indians in the Maya region of Central America, which tell of underground cities and tunnels stretching for miles beneath the ruins of the ancient Maya centres. Perhaps in the light of this new evidence, we should not be too hasty in discounting these legends. Does the discovery not also throw a new light on the widespread legends of the Underworld, where dwelt the Gods of Darkness? We have suggested that the gods of the sky were either Earth-men travelling in aircraft or in space, or astronauts from elsewhere in the Universe.
This would explain the disappearance of Neanderthal Man. There is evidence of a use of nuclear weapons in the Americas as well as in Asia, and should it not therefore be supposed that we should find traces of Neanderthal-type Man in the Americas, if the causes of their condition were radiation sickness? We have not found any such traces, and indeed there have not been any traces of any apelike humans in the Americas. It may be that they are still to be discovered, or perhaps the survivors left the more badly contaminated regions before they could become so affected.
Long-distance space travel may well go hand in hand with such progress in medical matters. Long-duration space voyages would more easily be accomplished by creatures with greatly extended lifespans. A space voyage which we may undertake lasting thirty years is half the life time of a present-day terrestrial human; to a being with an average lifespan of five hundred years, such a voyage would be relatively short, and of little consequence where the ageing of the astronaut is concerned. It is possible that by the time we are ready to undertake long-duration interstellar flights in manned vehicles, the problem of ageing may have been largely solved, and human life-times dramatically extended.
