Overlooked Alaska History: Archaeologists and
geologists have long marveled at the nearly perfectly level summit of
Flattop Mountain. Its startling contrast to the pointy peaks of the
rest of the Chugach Range has led many to wonder "WTF, Flattop?" Now an interdisciplinary team of crack academics from UAA thinks
it has found the explanation. After an exhaustive study of the area they
have concluded it was leveled in 1300 A.D. by a technology so advanced
that it could only have been extra-terrestrial. Furthermore, artifacts
recovered in an extensive dig reveal evidence of many different
technologically advanced cultures mingled in the ruins of what appears
to have been an active space port and trading center. Interestingly,
there are many items from across the Arctic as well, indicating trade
with Northern peoples was part of the attraction to our off-planet
visitors. Mysteriously all activity seems to have halted abruptly in
1390, according to carbon dating of the site, which quickly deteriorated
in the harsh environment. Such an distinct and drastic halt points to
either a great cultural upheaval or a tragically short attention span,
according to the team.
