There's so many things about this film which just doesn't make sense, but one of them that stuck in my mind is the scene where John T's character is meeting with that diplomat guy from Psychlo.

It starts off with the guy holding that stone looking tablet and it seems to show a dog in the backseat of an open top car, with a guy in front driving.

It seems to imply the image was taken recently, yet the world was basically annhiliated 1000 years ago
So how is there anyone driving around in a car? lol
I Can only assume this film takes place in an alternative universe where technology (And fuel) doesn't deteriorate with age. (Bit like the fighter jets/tanks etc)

I had the impression they were talking about the history of research of Earth as a place to exploit.
Don't forget this is camp sci-fi at its best. All bundled into the bizarre ravings of L Ron Hubbard.
