by Erich von Däniken, it consists of seven pavilions, each of

Panorama Kugel is the
central pavilion, topped by a 41-meter high sphere, from which the
park's
grounds can be seen. The Kugel also contains exhibits of von
Däniken's
works. All Mystery's attractions heavily advocate the idea of Alien
visits
on Earth. Erich von Däniken is well known to advocate alien
influence
on Earth and write sensational books about the subject. |
