The name of Cyrano de Bergerac is known today as the long-nosed, sword-wielding 17th century character of books, plays and film. He was indeed a real person, a French writer and scholar who also made some remarkable predictions about future technology, including:
• voyages to the moon
• travel by rocket propulsion
• houses that could be moved to follow seasonable weather (today’s RVs)
• machines that could record and play back the human voice
• light bulbs
One more idea of de Bergerac’s, which has yet to be verified, is recognizable to those who are familiar with such writers of today as Erich von Däniken, Zecharia Sitchin and others: that the gods of myth and legend were actually extraterrestrials.
