There's a topic around here, somewhere, with a lot of stuff about Spenser's robot character, but Googlin' turned up nothing..

True enough, but that same history your cite claims they did everything in Egypt with stone pounders and not much else. Everybody knows that’s nonsense, but they don’t have an archaeologically acceptable answer to that. So they don’t talk about it at all.

This is one reason the nutbars & cranks fill the void - “I’m not saying it was aliens, but...” When they aren’t writing UFO books, they are probably rehashing the Kennedy assassination. He was hit by a small meteor is the current theory, probably.

No actually its from Muslim Arab history, not the standard Egyptologist boilerplate history.

Visiting Talos 4 is the only death penalty violation left in the Federation.

definitely one of the ancient tales that raises eyebrows when seen with modern eyes. ezekiel’s visitation as well, or the quarantine instructions for mt sinai given to moses.

RS flashback - appropriate as always. Serling managed to use many Kabbalistic stories in his Twilight Zone episodes. This story is from the Maharal in Poland. Undoubtably, he heard them while growing up in a country Jewish family (Binghamton, NY).

What is “it” that you are referring to?
