Traditionally, rock paintings are called petroglyphs, this is the name for all images on stone from ancient times (Paleolithic) up to the Middle Ages, both primitive cave rock hewn paintings, and later ones, for example, on specially installed stones, megaliths or "wild" rocks.
Such monuments are not concentrated somewhere in one place, but widely scattered across the face of our planet. They were found in Kazakhstan (Tamgaly), in Karelia, in Spain (Altamira cave), in France (caves of Font-de-Gaume, Montespan, etc.), in Siberia, on the Don (Kostenki), in Italy, England, Germany, in Algeria, where the gigantic multicolored paintings of the Tassilin-Ajjer mountain plateau in the Sahara, among the sands of the desert, were recently discovered and made a sensation all over the world.
Despite the fact that the rock paintings have been studied for about 200 years, they still remain a mystery.
Rock paintings of the Hopi Indians in Arizona, USA, depicting some kind of kachina creatures. The Indians considered them their heavenly teachers.
According to the generally accepted theory of evolution, primitive man remained a primitive hunter and gatherer for many tens of thousands of years. And then a real insight suddenly visited him, and he began to draw and carve mysterious symbols and images on the walls of his caves, rocks and mountain crevices.
Famous Onega petroglyphs.
Oswald O. Tobisch, a man of generous and varied talents, spent 30 years researching more than 6,000 rock paintings in an attempt to restore some logical system that unites them. When you get acquainted with the conclusions of his research and numerous comparative tables, it literally takes your breath away. Tobish traces the similarities of various rock paintings, so that it seems that in ancient times there was a single pra-culture and universal knowledge associated with it.
Spain. Rock image. XI century BC
Of course, millions and millions of rock paintings did not appear at the same time; very often (but not always) they are separated by many millennia. In other cases, drawings were created on the same rocks over several millennia.
Africa. Rock drawing. VIII - IV century BC
Nevertheless, it is a striking fact that many cave paintings in various parts of the world arose almost simultaneously. Everywhere, be it Toro Muerto (Peru), where tens of thousands of rock paintings have been found, Val Carmonica (Italy), the vicinity of the Karakorum Highway (Pakistan), the Colorado Plateau (USA), the Paraibo region (Brazil) or southern Japan, almost identical symbols and figures. Of course, I cannot fail to note that in each separate place there are their own, strictly localized types of images that cannot be found anywhere else, but this in no way clears up the mystery of the striking similarity of the rest of the drawings.
Australia. XII - IV century BC
If we consider all these images with all their attributes and symbols, an amazing impression arises that the sound of the same calling trumpet suddenly rang out all over the continents: “Remember: the gods are those who are surrounded by rays!” These "gods" in most cases are depicted as much larger than other little men. Their heads are almost always surrounded or crowned with a halo or nimbus, as if radiant rays emanate from them. Besides, ordinary people always depicted at a respectful distance from the "gods"; they kneel before them, prostrating themselves on the ground, or raising their hands to them.
Italy. Rock drawing. XIII - VIII century BC
Oswald Tobisch, a rock carving expert who traveled all over the world, by his tireless efforts has come even closer to unraveling this problem. ancient mystery: “Perhaps this striking similarity in the images of deities is explained by “internationalism” that is incredible by our today's standards, and humanity of that era, quite possibly, was still in the powerful force field of the “primordial revelation” of the one and all-powerful Creator?”

Similar examples of the creativity of ancient peoples can be found all over the world. In Altai - rock portraits of humanoid creatures in spacesuits, created 4 - 5 thousand years ago. IN Central America- starting " spaceships". They are depicted on some Mayan tombs dating back about 1300 years. In Japan, bronze figurines of the 4th century BC are found dressed in helmets and overalls. In the mountains of Tibet - "flying saucers" painted 3000 years ago. Entire galleries of monsters with antennae on their heads, tentacles instead of arms and mysterious weapons are “exhibited” for all to see for us, descendants, in caves, on plateaus and in the mountains in Peru, Sahara, Zimbabwe, Australia, France, Italy.
Huge figures and a number of little men.
It is written in the history textbook that the primitive man wanted to somehow express himself and realize his primitive creativity with what was at hand. So rock paintings appeared on the rocks in deep caves.
But how primitive were our ancestors? And was it really so simple a few thousand years ago, as we imagine it to be? The drawings from primitive art collected in this article may make you think about something.

Here is a gargoyle located on one of the abbeys in Scotland. What is this? "Aliens" visited our planet? Or maybe medieval sculptors depicted aliens this way?
Now we find out...
The gargoyle is located around here:
Photo by REX/Michael McGurk
However, the reason for its appearance is quite prosaic.
In the 90s, all the statues of gargoyles were removed from the walls of the Scottish Paisley Abbey, located near Glasgow, for the purpose of restoration. Some figures were restored, while others simply had to be made anew. One of their restorers did his best by making a statue of an alien from the movie "Alien".
There was another mysterious story with the image of an astronaut or an alien on an old cathedral that was circulating on the Internet a few years ago:
This riddle is associated with a relief image of an astronaut on the wall of a cathedral in Spain. Cathedral of St. Jerome was built in 1102 AD. Bishop of Salamanca. Is this a picture of a man from the future? Or is this evidence of technologies that existed as early as 1100?!
Actually, neither. In 1992, the cathedral was restored and additional modern motifs were introduced. The reason for the appearance of these motifs was the tradition of temple builders and restorers, which consists in the free inclusion of modern motifs in old decorations. This way of restoring old buildings can, of course, be regarded as the signature of his work. The architect Hieronimo Garcia chose the astronaut as a symbol of the twentieth century.
However, in essence, this is a distortion of an ancient monument, the introduction of alien content, which is called the modernization of the past. Such embellishment was in wide use in antiquity and in the Middle Ages, but, as we see, it has not died to this day. It concerns not only buildings and other material monuments, but also texts, paintings, films, etc. So, for example, sites on the Internet have given out this fake at face value.
In general, gargoyles are still like this:
A gargoyle is a grotesque figure carved from stone, which was created to drain water from the roofs and side facades of large buildings.
Gargoyles are weird, creepy, obnoxious, and sometimes downright disgusting. For centuries they hang over many streets and cities, silently watching the people swarming below. They carry their silent post for so long that many of us do not even suspect that there is a point in gargoyles. Let's take a look at these stone monsters with a mysterious purpose.
2. Usually we associate them with medieval times (thanks to one well-known hunchback), but they appeared much earlier. These are not just scary statues. Many gargoyles are shaped like certain animals, and this is no coincidence.
The lion and the lioness were favorite images of the creators of gargoyles. For example, at Dornoch Cathedral in Scotland there is such a cute lioness, grinning at passers-by below. The lion was one of the most popular non-European animals used in medieval churches and cathedrals. Later they became popular in the form of gargoyles (there are a lot of them in Pompeii), and they symbolized the sun - their golden mane represented the solar crown of our life.
4. However, in the Middle Ages, the builders of cathedrals used the lion as a symbol of pride, which, of course, was one of the seven deadly sins, and therefore it was worth avoiding. This lion, for example, looks quite proud. It is located at one of the colleges in France. In addition to lions, other types of cats were practically not used in the creation of gargoyles. Cats were a symbol of witchcraft, so they were avoided.
5. Dog. This gargoyle is located on the tower of Philip IV the Handsome in the palace in Dijon, again, in France.
Dogs have always been very popular, and they are rarely looked upon only as pets. They guarded houses at night, so they were considered smart and devoted. On the one hand, it can be assumed that, as gargoyles, the statues of dogs were supposed to guard buildings, but their presence on the roofs is also due to another reason. Dogs are always hungry, and they often steal food from people, so in those days their figures were often placed on cathedrals and churches, so that everyone could see that even such a devoted animal as a dog can succumb to the temptations of the devil and become a victim of greed.
6. Wolf.
Although wolves were also considered greedy, they were treated with some respect, as they these animals have always worked together. It was then that the expression "leader of the pack" was born. Wolves were also associated with priests who were supposed to protect people from the devil - thus, the wolf even managed to be in the form of a protector of the lambs of God. The gargoyles on the roofs also often gathered in a “flock”, because. the architects wanted to divert rainwater in different directions. During a rainstorm, one gargoyle would not be enough. Gargoyles were made elongated so that the water flowed as far as possible from the wall.
7. Eagle. Gargoyle in the form of an eagle at the Cathedral of St. Rumbold in Mechelen, Belgium.
Eagles were the protectors of buildings, in particular, from dragons, for, as the medieval people believed, eagles were the only creatures capable of defeating a winged serpent. It was said that they could heal themselves by looking directly at the sun, which had long been the personification of a deity.
8. Serpent. This serpent on a building in Krakow, Poland warns people of the sins of the flesh.
The snake is associated with original sin, and therefore this stone beast can be found in almost all the cathedrals of Europe. Since the time of Adam and Eve, the serpent has been a symbol of the constant struggle between good and evil. Among the seven deadly sins, the snake represents envy. They were also considered immortal, which meant that the fight against sins would continue forever.
9. Ram or goat. This gargoyle is located on the cathedral in Barcelona.
Like most of the animals presented here, the goat also had a dual nature in the eyes of medieval Christians. On the one hand, they were considered divine, because. they knew how to find food even among steep cliffs and survive in the most difficult situations. On the other hand, they were considered evil creatures and a symbol of lust - another of the seven deadly sins. And, of course, what animal is usually associated with Satan?
10. Monkey.
Our closest relatives have always been looked at as what will happen to us if something in nature goes wrong. However, they were often considered stupid and lazy. That is why they personified another mortal sin - laziness. This gargoyle in the form of a monkey is located in Paris, which is not surprising, because the very word "gargoyle" originated in French. Once the word "Gargouille" meant the word "throat", and the word itself came from Latin.
11. Other languages were more accurate. IN Italian the gargoyle is called "grónda sporgente", choet literally means "protruding chute". IN German they are called "Wasserspeier" - "water spitters", and the Dutch went even further and nicknamed the gargoyles "waterspuwer" - "spewing water".
12. And by the way, from this Dutch word "waterspuwer" in English language came the verb "to spew" (to spew). However, if you do not take into account the "animal" personifications of gargoyles, then all of them were often considered chimeras.
13. This chimera is located at York Cathedral in England, which is generally famous for these same chimeras.
And although we are no longer afraid of these chimeras, the medieval inhabitants were rather superstitious and uneducated, and they considered them terrible creatures. A chimera is born when two parts of different bodies fuse to create an entirely new creature, such as a griffin (or a mermaid, a figure still popular in fountain making).
14. At the Milan Cathedral there is a rather interesting set of chimeras - there Renaissance thinkers stand next to these strange creatures from the imagination of madmen. These chimeras on the roofs of cathedrals and other buildings personified those who underestimate the power of the devil. Although the devil cannot create life, he can mix different forms of life to get a new one - that is, a chimera.
15. One of the most famous gargoyles in the world can be found at Notre Dame Cathedral.
16. Even the Disney studio could not ignore these interesting creatures.
17. The legend of the gargoyle. The French had a legend about one of their saints - Romaine. In the 17th century, he was made a bishop and had to fight a creature called the Gargull. It was a dragon-like creature with wings, a long neck, and the ability to spew fire from its mouth.
18. Having conquered the dragon, Romaine could not destroy his head, because. she was tempered by fire from her own mouth. Then Romaine placed her on the walls of the cathedral so that she would scare away evil forces. Well, this gargoyle in the photo is located in the van Saint-Jan Cathedral Basilica.
19. On the walls of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague there are some rather scary gargoyles, but these are no longer animals or even chimeras. These are people. The moment of damnation is frozen in time for hundreds of medieval souls across Europe.
20. With their mouths open, they scream through the centuries, constantly reminding you that you need to be able to resist the devil, otherwise it can happen to you! Probably the most terrible gargoyles are still those that remind us of ourselves.
21. This terrible example of the human form in the image of gargoyles is also on the St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague. Moreover, the pipe, through which water flows, sticks out of the mouth so ominously that it seems that it is just an inhumanly long tongue.
22. This gargoyle is on the cathedral in Nottingham. She reminds all generations not to try to bite your nails. Anyone who has read Chaucer is sure to startle when confronted with the vulgar emotionality of the Middle Ages.
Gargoyles are mentioned in works of the fantasy genre. Usually presented as living beings with a stone body.
So, in Asprin's series of books about the MIF corporation, one of the secondary characters is a gargoyle (male gargoyle) named Gus. In Pratchett's Discworld books, gargoyles are one of the intelligent races that inhabit it.
Computer games set in fantasy worlds also occasionally feature gargoyles. For example, in the games of the Disciples series, gargoyles are former soldiers who unquestioningly obeyed their cruel commanders, in the hellish flames their bodies became as hard as their hearts.
In games of the Heroes of series Might and Magic gargoyles are creatures that perform two functions at once: aesthetic and practical (protective). Gargoyles are also featured in Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos and Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, where they have the ability to turn to stone to heal from wounds faster.
In addition, there is the eponymous animated series Gargoyles.
Gargoyle is the main boss in Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil. Also in the Heretic/HeXen series of games, they are like very small dragons that have the ability to shoot fireballs.
Gargoyles are also representatives of the world of Harry Potter. They inhabit Hogwarts Castle, and one of them even guards the headmaster's office.
Gargoyles acted as kind, playful characters in the cartoon The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Stone sculptures Victor, Hugo and Laverne are the only friends of the hunchback Quasimodo. According to the idea of the cartoon, they decorate Notre Dame Cathedral. In fact, the cathedral is decorated with statues of chimeras.
end of article from http://bigpicture.ru/?p=318531 Let me remind you a couple more interesting revelations: here we exposed, then we found out, well, and found out whether The original article is on the website InfoGlaz.rf Link to the article from which this copy is made - October 13, 2014, 13:31
Rock paintings in Horseshoe Canyon, Utah, USA.
Such ancient historical monuments are not concentrated somewhere in one place, but are scattered all over the planet. Petroglyphs were not found at the same time, sometimes the discoveries of various drawings are separated by significant periods of time.
At times, on the same rocks, scientists find drawings from different millennia. There are traces of similarities between various rock paintings, so that it seems that in ancient times there was a single pra-culture and universal knowledge associated with it. So, many figures in the drawings have the same features, although their authors did not know anything about each other - they were separated by a huge distance and time. However, the similarity in the images is systematic: in particular, the heads of the gods always radiate light. Despite the fact that the rock paintings have been studied for about 200 years, they still remain a mystery.
It is believed that the first images of mysterious creatures were rock paintings on Mount Hunan, China (picture above). They are about 47,000 years old. These drawings supposedly depict early contacts with unknown beings, possibly visitors from extraterrestrial civilizations.
These drawings were found in national park called Sera da Capivara in Brazil. Experts say that the paintings were created about twenty-nine thousand years ago:
Interesting rock carvings over 10,000 years old were recently discovered in the state of Chhattisgarh, India:
This rock art dates back to around 10,000 BC and is located in Val Camonica, Italy. The painted figures look like two creatures wearing protective suits and their heads emitting light. In their hands they hold strange devices:
The next example is the rock carving of a luminous man, which is located 18 km west of the city of Navoi (Uzbekistan). At the same time, a radiant figure sits on a throne, and the figures standing near it have something similar to protective masks on their faces. The kneeling person in the lower part of the drawing does not have such a device - he is at a considerable distance from the luminous figure and, apparently, does not need such protection.
Tassilin Adjer (Plateau of Rivers) is the largest monument of rock art in the Sahara. The plateau is located in the southeastern part of Algiers. The most ancient petroglyphs of Tassilin-Adjer date back to the 7th millennium BC. And the latest - the 7th century AD. For the first time, drawings on the plateau were seen in 1909:
Depiction dated circa 600 BC, from Tassilin Adjer. The picture shows a creature with different eyes, a strange “petal” hairstyle and a shapeless figure. More than a hundred similar "gods" were found in the caves:
These frescoes, found in the Sahara desert, depict a humanoid creature in a spacesuit. Frescoes - 5 thousand years:
Australia is isolated from other continents. However, on the Kimberley Plateau (northwest Australia) there are entire galleries of petroglyphs. And here all the same motifs are present: gods with similar faces and with a halo of rays around their heads. The drawings were first discovered in 1891:
These are images of Vandina, the goddess of the sky, in a halo of shining rays.
Rock art in Puerta del Canyon, Argentina:
Sego Canyon, Utah, USA. The most ancient petroglyphs appeared here more than 8,000 years ago:
"Rock-newspaper" in the same place, in Utah:
"Alien", Arizona, USA:
California, USA:

"Sun Man" from the Karakol Valley, Altai:
Another of the many petroglyphs of the Italian Val Camonica valley in the Southern Alps:
Rock paintings of Gobustan, Azerbaijan. Scientists date the most ancient drawings to the Mesolithic era (about 10 thousand years ago:
Ancient rock paintings in Niger:
Onega petroglyphs at Cape Besov Nos, Russia. The most famous of the Onega petroglyphs is Bes, its length is two and a half meters. The image is crossed by a deep crack, dividing it exactly into two halves. A “gap” into another, otherworldly world. Satellite navigation often fails within a kilometer radius from Bes. The clock also behaves unpredictably: it can run forward, it can stop. What is the reason for such an anomaly, scientists only speculate. The ancient figure is cut with an Orthodox cross. Most likely, it was hollowed out over the demonic image by the monks of the Murom Monastery in the 15th-16th centuries. In order to neutralize the devil's power:
Petroglyphs of Tamgaly, Kazakhstan. Rock paintings abound in a variety of subjects, and the most common of them depict divine sun-headed creatures:
White Shaman Rock in Lower Canyon, Texas. The age of this seven-meter image, according to experts, is more than four thousand years. It is believed that the White Shaman hides the secrets of an ancient vanished cult:
Rock carvings of giant people from South Africa:
Mexico. Veracruz, Las Palmas: cave paintings depicting creatures in spacesuits:
Rock paintings in the Pegtymel river valley, Chukotka, Russia:
The twin gods fight with battle axes. One of the petroglyphs found in Tanumshead, western Sweden (drawings painted in red already in the modern period):
Among the petroglyphs on the Litsleby rock massif, a giant (2.3 m tall) image of a god with a spear (possibly Odin) dominates:
_Tanum-Litsleby.jpg)
Sarmysh-say gorge, Uzbekistan. Numerous ancient rock carvings of people in strange clothes were found in the gorge, some of which can be interpreted as images of "ancient astronauts":
Rock paintings of the Hopi Indians in Arizona, USA, depicting certain creatures - kachina. The Hopi considered these mysterious kachinas to be their celestial teachers:
In addition, there are many ancient rock carvings, either solar symbols, or some objects resembling aircraft.
Cave paintings in San Antonio, Texas, USA.
This ancient rock art, discovered in Australia, depicts something very similar to a space alien ship. At the same time, the image may well mean something quite understandable.
Something like a rocket taking off. Kalbysh Tash, Altai.

Guanche rock paintings, Canary Islands
Ancient images of the mystical symbol of the spiral are found throughout the world. These rock paintings were once created by Indians in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, USA.
Rock art, Nevada, USA
One of the drawings discovered in a cave on the island of Youth, off the coast of Cuba. It bears a strong resemblance to the structure solar system, where there is an image of eight planets with their largest satellites.
These petroglyphs are located in Pakistan, in the Indus Valley:
Once in these places there was a highly developed Indian civilization. It was from her that these ancient images carved on stones remained. Take a closer look - don't you think that these are mysterious vimanas - flying chariots from ancient Indian myths?
The most amazing thing is that petroglyphs depicting on stone strange (at least) for ancient people aircraft, aliens in spacesuits, and other things that do not fit into our understanding of the knowledge of mankind in those distant centuries are found in different parts of our planet. (website)
For example, haloes over the heads of aliens (humanoid creatures), vimanas on which they move through the air, are completely identical in rock paintings, separated from each other by huge distances and even separated by oceans (on different continents).
That is why many independent researchers come to the conclusion that our ancestors were in contact with aliens, and this was everywhere throughout the Earth. In this case, it becomes incomprehensible to us why the aliens do not make contact with earthlings today? However, this is another question, but for now we offer you to look at rock paintings (petroglyphs), which prove all of the above.
Note the artistic reproduction of one of the petroglyphs discovered in Japan on the island of Johto in 1957. This rock drawing was found in a mountain labyrinth.
A rock drawing from many petroglyphs of Kazakhstan, this one was found in the Tamgaly-Tas tract. And although Kazakhstan and Japan are separated by thousands of kilometers, it seems that people living at a great distance from each other saw the same vimanas of aliens in the sky.
No less interesting and indicative in terms of uniformity (with all other terrestrial rock paintings of this nature) are petroglyphs found in Pakistan - in the Indus River valley.
But the rock drawing in the form of a rocket (Altai, Kalbak-Tash tract) shows us that ancient people saw not only flying vimanas, but also space rockets, very similar to modern earth ones.
***
However, one cannot say for one hundred percent that aliens today do not have any contact with the inhabitants of the planet Earth:
- firstly, people often see them and even take pictures and videos;
- secondly, aliens often take people away for some kind of their own purposes, and some of these "returnees" may well be evidence of such contacts;
- thirdly, as conspiracy theorists prove, aliens have long been in contact with the governments of the superpowers (debatable, but not excluded).
And finally, we do not even know with the ancient inhabitants of our planet. Most likely, appearing to them as gods (hence, probably, halos above the heads of gods and saints - their servants). But is such contact possible today? Most likely no. And the other, apparently, we have not yet deserved, since we have a purely pragmatic interest in the aliens today - to get their technology and use it to strengthen the dominance of a handful of earthlings over the rest of humanity (which of the highly developed civilizations will do this?).
Let's imagine a scene from the distant past, where thousands of years ago, ancient man witnessed something incredible. For example, it was the appearance of astronauts who arrived on Earth in spaceships.
Definitely - these were fantastic scenes of the landing of "heavenly people", an event that ancient mankind in the face of eyewitnesses could never forget, and was forced to somehow interpret and write them down.
According to fans of the ideas of ufology, such scenes of the arrival of people from heaven are depicted in the art of the cave chronicle, confirming in the drawings the contact of earthlings with people from other worlds. Thanks to devices for flying in the sky, the ability to create fire and demonstrating other technologies, the "heavenly people" began to be revered by ancient man as gods - but people also sketched these significant events.
Although many adherents of mainstream science are vehemently against even the slightest chance of ancient astronauts participating in the life of the Earth, speaking of fantasy tricks, the documents in the form of drawings tell a completely different story.
There is a defiant magnificence of images on the walls of caves around the world, where ancient man captured the appearance of aliens from heaven, supplementing the rock record with mysterious objects in the sky. Undoubtedly, people painted history itself on the walls of the caves - alien spaceships and humanoid figures that are different from any species that live on Earth.Alien rock figures from Chhattisgarh cave.
One of the amazing descriptions of what we are talking about now, and we are talking about alien beings, can be observed in the caves of India. The discovery of 10,000-year-old rock art displays amazing figurines that remind us of extraterrestrial beings and disk-shaped apparatus of our planet's visitors.
Many experts are amazed by the extreme similarity between cave paintings and images of aliens from feature films, where usually this is how unknown visitors and mysterious ships aliens.
According to Indian experts, it looks as if people who lived 10,000 years ago made these paintings after watching science fiction films. According to the explanation of archaeologist J. R. Bhagat, this may mean that people, from time immemorial, have seen creatures coming to Earth from other planets - and on this basis, we have already built modern look aliens.
The rock paintings are made in natural colors, having survived almost without losing color despite the past centuries. Some of the figurines are holding weapons (believed to be), although there are no clear features to definitively deduce.A curious thing, but some of the figures do not have a delineated nose and mouth, they seem to be drawn by a child's hand, where only the outline of the body is indicated. At the same time, several paintings show visitors to Earth wearing space suits. “Of course, we cannot disprove the possibility of a fantasy of prehistoric people, but this is a very unlikely assumption,” the archaeologists say.
Wandjina rock art, Australia
The Wandjina rock paintings are a collection of extremely mysterious images drawn by ancient man thousands of years ago. In fact, the rock art at Kimberly could be over 50,000 years old, according to a new study.
Some researchers have for many years held to the theory that the rock paintings at Kimberly, which supposedly depict aliens, now known to us as Wandjina, may be about 100 thousand years old! Kimberley Cave Art has hundreds of paintings scattered over a vast area of 400,000 sq km.
The locals of the region refer to these strange figures as "Wandjina", referring to the celestial beings who brought civilization and prosperity to the people. Note, like many other ancient civilizations around the world, the "Wandjina" symbol is intertwined with the legend of the feathered serpent.
The rock art shows the creatures wearing sandals, which undoubtedly attracted the attention of researchers, since the indigenous population of the region was barefoot. Meanwhile, other oddities are also noticeable here: the drawings show creatures with some kind of anomaly, at least in our understanding - their limbs number from three to seven fingers. What does this mean, the mistake of an ancient artist, or is this what the aliens looked like?
Aliens on the walls of the Tassilin-Adjer cave.
We see incredible rock paintings of the same theme on the Tassili plateau. In the south of Algeria, the arid Sahara desert is believed by some to contain evidence of aliens visiting Earth. As in many other caves around the globe, drawings discovered in the Tassilin-Adjer region probably depict planets in the distant past.
The researchers assure: Tassili rock paintings occupy an important part of the ancient collection of rock art among those known today. True, only about 20% of them remain visible, since most of these incredible images have been destroyed by erosion. Experts believe that the rock paintings are between 10,000 and 15,000 years old and, of course, according to ufologists, they speak of the arrival of aliens on Earth.
Strange and mysterious images have caused heated debate among researchers. Look at these ancient paintings: rivers and jungles, animals that lived in the region in the past, and that's okay. However, something is depicted in the neighborhood that they could not see (according to the main version of archeology, visiting the Earth by aliens is denied): strange humanoid figures in helmets and in spacesuits.Ancient people in Tassili painted everyday life and their experience, and could not imagine humanoid figures in spacesuits, which in some cases were even depicted with antennas on their helmets. Is the ancient alien theory, which suggests that the cave dwellers actually portrayed ancient astronauts who visited civilization about 10,000 years ago, acceptable?
The opinion of many people is unshakable - it is possible that the drawings contain the memory of the arrival of heavenly people and documentary evidence of "Contact" from our ancestors. Of course, it is possible that the ancient inhabitants had a great imagination - says J. R. Bhagat, but the probability of this is negligible.
