[edit] Sources

Guys we need some sources please. Also what's up with

These claims can never be refuted, because while the obelisk was obviously too much for humans, why couldn't it have been too much for some cocky aliens as well? Aliens aren't, after all, omnipotent.

Frankly the whole paragraph is absurd and needs to be cut. --JJay 17:13, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] OOPART

The damn thing is referenced in the OOPART page, that's the whole reason I wrote it in the first place. The claim is completely ridiculous of course, but the obelisk does appear in a lot of alien encounter literature. Would have been nice if this could be discussed before it was deleted. 24.168.5.223 18:15, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

• Sorry. I put the message up yesterday. When there was no response I cut the paragraph. Perhaps I should have waited. Also the OOPART link at the bottom of the page was not working, so I assumed it was a joke. In any case, I think its a great article. If you can re-add the info, perhaps with a more serious tone and some links or citations, I have no objections. My understanding is that human tools were found with the obelisk though. If you want to revert, i'll then edit the text. Let me know. Thanks. --JJay 18:30, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

• Looks good now... and way different from what was there yesterday. --JJay 18:35, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
