It is much better to have a theory dangling with the the possibility of many sexy answers. Television loves you, sets up an archaeologist PhD to rebuff you, your name becomes synonymous with your area of study practically overnight and you can name your price when it comes to publications... and of course buy an ivory back scratcher for every day in the week and two for Sunday like that other Erich ( von Daeniken).
From my perspective they are just two different ways of dealing with the same matter, however they are not all that different as they first appear, for instance...
can you name any archaeological theory which was proved to be true?
