JUST read âThe unsolved mystery of Sri Lankaâs âStargateâ by Demi Perera on CNN (http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20210.), and have to admit it got my science fiction juices flowing. Not just flowing, but hot to boiling! As those of you whoâve read my latest book, THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor know, Iâm particularly fascinated by the new M-Superstring Theory and the Multiverse. Reads like a great sci-fi book or movie title, doesnât it? But the idea that our universe is only one of many, some almost perfect copies of our own (the key word being âalmostâ), and that people will someday be able to move from one universe to another without dying is particularly intriguing.

In recent years, the internet has been alight with speculation that a chart-like carving in Anuradhapura is a stargate: an ancient gateway through which humans can enter the Universe.
Sri Lanka’s sacred city of Anuradhapura is an unlikely place to be enmeshed in a fantastic tale of UFOs and otherworldly happenings. Locally known as Rajarata (Land of Kings), the Unesco World Heritage Site was the first established kingdom on the island (in 377 BC) and is at the heart of Sri Lanka’s Buddhist culture. Today, it’s one of the nation’s most visited places, attracting devoted pilgrims from around the country to its ancient Buddhist temples and giant dome-shaped stupas.
