Somewhere around here I have a paperback called "The Spaceships of Ezekiel" that I read many years ago. Back then, when I took "ancient astronaut" stuff more seriously, and I thought the ship he came up with was pretty neat. I remember it had a aerospike engine, a nuclear reactor, a "wheel within wheel" system to roll around the landscape, and other goodies. Even then, though, I couldn't for the life of me figure out how he got from the story to that spaceship, even when he tried to explain it. The leaps of logic were breathtaking to behold.
