David - thanks for that, absolutely fascinating. You may want to check out Alan Alford's theories on Easter Island - book "Gods Of The New Millennium" - do a search for his web site.

Two digits. One mechanism. The smallest mistake.

"The conveniences and comforts of humanity in general will be linked up by one mechanism, which will produce comforts and conveniences beyond human imagination. But the smallest mistake will bring the whole mechanism to a certain collapse. In this way the end of the world will be brought about."
