Has been commented on by some that a woman scientist is in the lead role (not necessarily typical for 1957). AnonMoos ( talk) 21:40, 8 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Good incorporation from previous article. I fixed some links and general formatting. Trieka Ayer ( talk) 16:55, 29 March 2012 (UTC) reply

Solidly written article. I fixed one of the references. Lasampson ( talk) 00:29, 30 March 2012 (UTC) reply

I have removed two sections: one on the Antikythera device and one on Von Daniken/ancient astronaut stuff. Both of these I feel have no relevance to an article about a short SF story on archaeology of an ancient Martian city. At best they were speculations/research and therefore out of place on Wikipedia.
