There are also references to von Däniken's Chariots of the Gods. (Referred to in the book as Hubcaps of the Gods LOL!)
The references to Incan / Peruvian culture were great!
My favorite passage is at the end of the book, when the 'extra-dimensional Incas' were found after they'd been... misplaced:
- It was twelve years later that a Taiwanese fishing boat operation [...] came across an unvisited island populated entirely by South American Indians.
[...]
Nerwegian scientists insisted that here at last was proof conclusive that the Polynesian islands had been settled by explorers from Peru. The rest of the anthropological community said nothing of the sort, often adding commentary of their own that was less than polite.
(If you don't get the humor in that, here's a hint.)
