Pliny the Elder (AD23-79) refers to 'gleaming beams in the sky' in his De Rerum Naturae, which describes how, in 66BCE,
a 'spark' fell from a star to the Earth, became as large as the Moon, and then,
shrinking in size returned to the sky. Inevitably we can only speculate as to what was seen. Others
who believe in ancient contact have presented cave and rock paintings in support
of their arguments. Such pictures have been quickly dismissed by others who
claim that they are merely pictures of hunters wearing ceremonial head-dresses
or masks as a ritual part of their culture. Whilst this may be an acceptable
explanation, it does not account for the similarity of pictures from cultures on
opposite sides of the oceans thousands of years ago.
For example, the picture (below) is from a pre-historic rock carving near Capo di Ponte in Italy,
whilst the picture (above) is from the Toro Muerte Desert in Peru, on the
other side of the Atlantic Ocean, yet the headgear drawn is almost identical. Of course, too
much can be read into a couple of primitive pictures, if that's all that
existed, but it in fact there are other strange representations noted in
pictures and images throughout the world. For example, this ancient aboriginal
cave drawing (above) from 5000 years ago appears to show strange beings with
non-human features.
In 1961, the Russian astronomer Alexander Kazantsev brought
to the attention of the readers of the then Soviet magazine Smena a
discovery made by Henri Labote in the Tassili plateau in the Sahara desert.
Labote had found sculpted rocks showing figures with strange rounded heads and
other mysterious scenes. These sculptures have been dated to circa. 6000BCE
(10). These images are all the more remarkable because of their similarity to
the costumes worn in rituals of the Kayapo Indians of Brazil, a tribe that has
existed for at least 4000 years.
This tribe's rituals commemorate Gods descending from the heavens bringing with
them advanced knowledge and skills. Similarly a 3000-year-old statue found on the Equador-Bolivian border appears to represent a humanoid in a space
suit. Yet caution has to
be advised when considering these ancient images for we can only cast modern day
man's eyes over them and offer a modern interpretation of what our ancestor's
were attempting to record.
For some of the
images, however, our knowledge of past cultures can offer a better insight into
what the artists are trying to portray.
For example, at first glance, the
Egyptian mural (above) appears to show in the upper left-hand area a helicopter,
with the upper right image appearing to be a boat or even a submarine. The image also has images of objects
that resemble an airplane (or even a UFO) and the bottom image could be taken
as a jet-plane. Yet, in fact, the hieroglyphs are not a record of ancient
knowledge of machines similar to modern technology, but merely a co-incidental
combination of quite common ancient Egyptian symbols.
Nevertheless some of the ancient images are quite intriguing. Take for example this cave
painting (above) from circa 2000BCE. found on the Russian-Chinese
border. It could of course be argued that our modern eyes can only interpret
pictures in certain ways.However (and perhaps falling into this trap) it
appears that the figure closest to the viewer is clutching some form of dial,
the furthest away individual has a helmet on with antenna, and what appears to
be a UFO under some form of propulsion hovering above them both. Few of the features in this picture appear compatible with images that should
have formed the everyday world of ancient man. The above picture appears all the more convincing when compared
with the plate (see part IV below) which appears to show a type of alien known as a 'Grey'
and a 'UFO'. This plate is thousands of years old, however the idea of 'Greys'
is supposedly a totally modern concept, first featured in Hollywood
blockbusters.
