Very interesting, Andy. Is that the source of LP for MM and UAKM, me wonders?
"If you look to me for illumination, you better have a flashlight!"
Well that was what I was thinking. Anyway to get confirmation on this? It seems to be an awful coincidence.
Lowell Percival is, indeed, an homage to Percival Lowell.
The website states:
We can see clear proof that the continents were all once connected by simply looking at a map of the Earth and seeing how the pieces fit. That would only mean that at one time, Earth was basically half a planet.

Where did the other half go? Why is Earth only half a planet?
The guy loses all credibility with this statement. The Earth's radius is about 4000 miles. The ocean's depth is on the order of tens of miles. The fact that the continents were all together on one side of the Earth doesn't mean that nothing was on the other. You have to remember that the oceans and the continents are just a very thin layer on the surface of the globe. The continents and all of the ocean islands are just the tops of mountains sticking out about the ocean's surface. The existence of Pangaea simply means that there was less than 1 percent difference in elevation on one side than the other. It most definitely does NOT mean Earth was half a planet.

Continental drift, is the result of the spinning Earth and tidal forces by the sun and moon trying to even out that 1 percent inbalance of mass. Nothing unusual or supernatural about that.

You could almost take these theories seriously if the people presenting them didn't mix so much nonsense in with their otherwise thoughtful claims.

And yes, Percival Lowell is very well-known and he is practically synonymous with the planet Mars.
Yeah, the site is definitely lacking in credibility, but my focus was on the L.P. or P.L. element. I found it on Digg because it talks about how the tablet at the top of the page has the sun at the center of the galaxy--something that shouldn't have appeared in ancient iconography for a long time.
