Ancient Aliens & Ancient Astronauts

 

Sumerian Anunnaki

Cylinder of Adda (Fg. 1-1)

Ancient Sumerian texts define the Anunnaki as "those who from heaven to Earth came" described as those who descended from the heavens, and in certain context, the fallen angels. By comparative religions, its believed the book of Genesis (600BC) was extracted from the Sumerian Epic of Creation (~6000-8500BC). Records are filled with great details of Anunnaki having depictions as the watchers, also evident in further Biblical texts by Daniel and Jubilees.

According to the accounts, the Anunnaki were the Gods & Goddesses who met occasionally to indirectly determine the fate of mankind, if by no fault of their own. Abraham's father Terah was believed to have served the fallen angels, or the sons of the gods/goddesses, found in Psalms in reference to the Nephilim. Sharing part of the Babylonian creation myth as the children of Anu and Ki, the Anunnaki are also associated with the stories of Planet X, or the 12th planet, and its return to Earth over a long elliptical orbit, written about by Zecharia Sitchin. 

Dogon Star Connection

Located in Mali West Africa, the Dogon have a rich culture dating back to around 3200 BC and are believed to have descended from ancient Egyptians. Deeply rooted traditions of the Dogon people speak of the Nommos who visited from a companion star to Sirius. The Nommos are known as amphibious beings that have also appeared in numerous related myths found in the Babylonian, Accadian and Sumerian cultures.

Sirius' companion star has a 50 year elliptical orbit and is not visible to the naked eye. Modern astronomers did not know the companion star existed until the Dogon myth was discovered. They tell us how the Nommos shared the knowledge of Sirius with them and left behind several artifacts. One artifact depicting the Sirius constallation carbon dates to 400 years ago, a little over 230 years before astronomers suspected the existence of the companion star.

Every 60 years the Dogon celebrate the cycle of Sirius A and B which rises further questions considering Sirius B's 50 year cycle. The Dogon legend also mentions a 3rd star in the system, which would be called Sirius C, if found by modern telescopes. Nommos are believed to inhabit a planet orbiting Sirius C though mainstream science does not consider the Sirius constellation to be a prime candidate for life. Research in 1995 concluded that based on observations of motions in the Sirius system, a red dwarf star about 1/20th the mass of Sirius B exists. 

Hopi Indians Kachina

Hopi Kachina Bolo (Fg. 1-3)

The Peaceful People, Hopi, live in northeast Arizona to this present day and are believed to be descendants from cultures to the north, east and south. One of their ancestors is the Anasazi, who directly relate to the Aztec culture. Though many civilizations maintain beliefs of descending from the sky, the Hopi believe they came up from the ground.

One of the many Hopi legends specifically referrers to the Ant People who inhabit the heart of the Earth. Depictions of the Ant People strongly resemble modern day gray alien sighting reports. The Hopi believe at the end of this cycle of time, the star people and star knowledge will return. Known as Blue Kachina, the star people went to the heart of the Earth to be protected during the destruction of the last cycle of time.

It is important to note the legend of the Blue Kachina also coincides with Mayan prophecy and the modern Planet X theory suggesting an interconnection between Hopi beliefs and those of the Ancient Mayans. Further prophecies relate to similar creation stories found throughout different cultures. It is believed there existed 5 stone tablets. One was kept by the creator, two given to the Hopi themselves, and the remaining two given to brothers in history to be brought back together when the world reunites in peace.

Renaissance Art & Ancient Alien Theory

During the Renaissance period up until the French Revolution, intriguing elements have been discovered in several paintings by different artists. Its very important to note that some of the paintings have been fully explained and proved to not have any extraterrestrial influence. Certain elements to pay attention to include the Cardinal hat portrayed as a UFO with attached strings, a satellite which is actually a depiction of the universe creation sphere, the dove which is actually representative of the Holy Spirit, and light type elements speculated to be associated with the disc shaped objects.

As true art should be, interpretation relies solely on the interpreter. Personal beliefs, values and impressions may skew artwork far from the true intended message. The following artworks have been referred to by Ancient Alien theorists to have significant value to the overall theory which encompasses a very large array of disciplines and is not stringent upon the content of any one specific art piece.

Baptism of Christ (Fg. 1-4a)

Baptism of Christ - Aert De Gelder - 1710

A very intriguing art piece in a series from De Gelder, this one displays the Baptism of Christ and presents quite a few questions regarding the composition. Aert studied under Rembrandt and was considered to his brightest student and most avid follower. Rembrandt's influence seems to be the only solid theory as to why De Gelder painted original elements into his works that do not transcend with other artists during the period. This specific piece displays a circular formation in the sky with several rays of light shining upon Jesus, however, the circle is not composed of a series of cherubs, nor is the dove or Holy Spirit traditionally portrayed. Though the composition doesn't seem to follow the common traditions depicted by other artists, it does not necessarily mean Aert's message isn't one in the same. Part of being a good artist is being unique.

Eucharist (Fg. 1-4b)

Glorification of the Eucharist - 1600 - Bonaventura Salimbeni

Though this painting is representative of a creation sphere meant to depict the universe as a whole, and the Holy Trinity, certain intriguing aspects still remain. Jesus and the Father are holding wands which may give the impression of Sputnik as some have written about, though we know this to be highly unlikely. Another interesting aspect of the painting is where Jesus and the Father are pointing and why. Given the grip on the wands in a penmanship-like fashion, the impression is one of precision as markings found throughout the artwork.

The Madonna (Fg. 1-4c)

The Madonna with Saint Giovannino - Domenico Ghirlandaio

A puzzling object found in the top right corner of this painting has the striking resemblance of a modern UFO but the mystery deepens when a man and his dog looking upward at the strange object are found just below, along the shoreline, directly left of the Madonna's shoulder. It is quite possible this subtle touch by Ghirlandaio was designed to further emphasize the presence of the Holy Spirit during the sacred conversation.

Annunciation (Fg. 1-4d)

The Annunciation with Saint Emidius - 1486 - Carlo Crivelli

Displays a ray of light emanating from a disc shaped cloud formation in the sky directing through an opening in the building, to the Dove, to Mary. The area of interest isn't necessarily the circular cloud disc of cherubs in the sky and beam of light which may seem odd to some. Common accouterments found in an alchemist's study where Mary is located is what rises questioning. The painting's period was during a time when Alchemy was viewed to be deceptive and banned from practice for 200 years by Pope John XXII, King Charles V, King Henry IV, King Henry VI and both the cities of Venice and Nuremberg. Pope Sixtus IV granted the town of Ascoli a degree of self-goverment and this painting was the altarpiece for the church of SS Annunziata. Does this depict Mary embracing the liberty of Ascoli by visiting the local Alchemist?

Visoki Decani Monastery (Fg. 1-4e)

Visoki Decani Monastery ~1350

Located in the Serbian province of Kosovo, the beautiful Visoki Decani Monastery is well decorated and home to several period relics of the saints. including the entire preserved body of St. King Stefan of Decani. Among the many frescoes, one stands alone in describing the crucifixion of Christ. In each of the top corners is what appears to be a flying craft with a human figure inside.

Ume No Chiri (Fg. 1-4f)

Ume No Chiri (Dust of Apricot) - 1803

In 1803 the book Ume No Chiri describes a foreign ship and crew witnessed at Hratonohama in Hitachi no Kuni Japan. The mysterious craft was reported to be built from iron and red sandalwood with glass/crystal fit windows. Glyphs from an unknown language decorated the inside. This encounter proceeds to describe a young woman leaving the ship while holding a wooden box.

Laurissenses (Fg. 1-4g)

Annales Laurissenses - 776 (Pre-Renaissance)

Several scholars have claimed the two Laurissenses images circulating the Internet supposed to have been extracted from an Annales manuscript to be faked, but that does not explain the actual text documented at the time. In the Maiores MGH SRG 6 on page 44 there is the 776 passage which talks directly of the watchmen witnessing two large, reddish-colored flaming shields moving above the church the very moment the Saxons were preparing to attack the Christians living in the castle once again. The script specifically refferes to the large flaming shields to be the manifestation of God directly above the church.

Miracle of the Snow (Fg. 1-4h)

Miracle of the Snow - 1432 - Masolino Da Panicale

Painted to honor the foundation of Santa Maria Maggiore, the Miracle of the Snow is based on a legend from the year 352 when Pope Liberius and Giovanni had a dream of Mother Mary asking to have a church built on one of the seven hills of Rome. She also told them in the marked location it would snow as depicted in the later painting. According to the legend, it snowed in an exact square where claimed and the first church in honor of Mother Mary was built in place. The Miracle of the Snow legend is also linked to an event in 1954 over Florence Italy where it was reported several flying discs left a cotton-like discharge as they flew by. The shape of the clouds in Panicale's painting are not the normal cloud shapes found in other paintings during the period which leaves some speculation to their true meaning. 

Dharamsala Temple

Tibetan Thangkas Bodhisattva (Fg. 1-5)

According to quite a few, repeated sources found on the Internet, there are paintings displaying UFOs in the Dharamsala Temple where the Dalai Lama lives in exile. In traditional Tibetan art, such as the image of 1000 Buddhas, it is very evident such an interpretation may perceived from the artwork. Rather than for self-expression, Tibetan art is a tool for enlightenment with emphasis placed on the sacred process, often with Tantric qualities, instead of the end aesthetic results. Many of the painted deities appear to be in a meditative sitting position, sometimes depicted well above the ground level, projecting the deity to be floating in the sky. The detail surrounding the seat and deity sometimes demonstrate possible propulsion systems leading people to believe the paintings incorporate ancient alien aircraft.

Beyond the artwork itself are many stories and legends passed down speaking of gods who fought battles in the sky and the recently media famous Vimanas. Historical accounts spanning multiple cultures correlate and essentially corroborate the stories of ancient flying aircraft. Given the long record of historical account to these legends, it is not by stretch of the imagination to believe there might be a connection between the written ancient Vimana legends and the deity imagery found throughout related cultural artwork. Perhaps meditation is necessary to effectively control the aircraft. It could also be possible more emphasis was placed on the imagery of the deity simply because they were of flesh and blood. However the artwork is looked upon, uncertainties in interpretation rise enough red flags for us to think there may be something further. 

Nuremberg Sky Battle

Nuremberg Gazette Woodcut (Fg. 1-6)

In 1561, Hans Glaser documented a strange event on a woodcut for the German Nuremberg Gazette described as hundreds of crosses, globes and tubes fighting each other above the city. Some of the objects were reported to have disappeared into the sun, and others into a thick cloud of smoke after crashing into the ground. Many were said to witness the entire spectacle along with the appearance of a black, spear-like object after the battle. According to the accounts, not only did people of the 16th century witness what seems to be a UFO sky battle, they were also able to distinctly tell which side was winning.

Coupled with the occurance in Nuremberg, five years later in 1566, citizens of Basel Switzerland witnessed a similar spectacle involving several black orbs engaged in sky battle above. The people of Basel also recorded the event in their city gazette with a woodcut that cannot be traced to a known artist. Accounts claimed the black orbs would sometimes turn red and fiery before fading to nothing.

Dropa Stones

Dropa Stones (Fg. 1-7)

Inside a cave found in the Himalayan mountains, a professor of archaeology and students stumbled upon a very large cache of 12,000 year old stone discs, left behind with several 4 foot tall skeletons. Each stone disc is about one foot wide and features two fine grooves inscribed, spiraling from the edge to the disc's ¾" center hole. The cave where the Dropa Stones were found, the walls were carved with depictions of the sun, moon, and stars, along with several small dots connecting the Earth to the sky.

The 716 stone discs found are not quite like the Phaistos Disc of Greece, though they are also finely decorated with a series of glyphs. However, Dropa glyphs on the stones are so small that a magnifying glass is required to read them, plus several have succumbed to erosion over the years. Due to both of these factors and the language itself, a definitive translation is still not available. Controversy over non-glyph discs and the researchers attempting to translate the contents has lead skeptics to dismiss any and all credible evidence and related theories. It would be very difficult to decipher a language with an unknown source or without any foundation based on human languages already known about. Until links are found, literally connecting the dots of the Dropa Stones, the translations and true answers remain a mystery. 

Quimbaya Gold Artifacts

Golden Flyer Artifact (Fg. 1-8)

According to mainstream archeology, the pre-columbian Quimbaya culture were believed to have lived in South America from 300 to 1550 CE and are best known for their precise gold and metalwork. The majority of gold pieces discovered are made with a tumbaga alloy with 30% copper, very similar to those accounts mentioned by Plato in his dialogues about the lost city of Atlantis. Among the intricate gold works are several types of insects and two devices that stand out to be aerodynamic in nature and of no other insect known to exist. The pieces look very much like the designs of modern airplanes and incorporate a number of features essentially proving the Quimbaya knew and understood the principals of flight. Scale replicas of the golden flyer were built 5 times larger and tested precisely. Results from the tests showed proved these airplane shaped devices were capable of flight and actually flew without any modifications using modern techniques.
