UFO's in Ancient Art?

[Lucifer Sam]

Of all of the UFO/alien controversy business, I think that ancient art depicting UFO-like objects and/or alien beings is by far the most interesting and the hardest to explain. There seems to be a lot of art, hundreds of years old, which clearly show objects that look strangely similar to "UFO's." This stuff just boggles my mind. Regardless if they really are UFO's and aliens in the art, it's still so odd that whatever the objects are even resemble what we think of as UFO's. Anyway, here's a link to just one website which focuses on ancient artwork which seems to depict UFO's and aliens (or, as they seem to call them, "ancient astronauts").

What do you think? Bullshit? The real thing? Something else? :eek:

[warmhandedcanadian]

Ummmm.... this is really freaky. I have not seen or heard of these pieces of artwork before, are they authentic? I mean they are not doctored for the website?

[mr.morrison]

ive watched stuff about this kind of stuff on history channel. its really interexsting and by far the most convincing evidence for aliens

[mr.morrison]

actually after looking at the sight, the show wasnt about that. the show was about ancient carvings in Pyramids and Ziggurats and stuff in Egypt, Babylon, China, India, Aztecs, and Mayans. not 15th century paintings

[Lucifer Sam]

I can't be sure that the paintings on that website aren't fake, but they do provide information on what the painting is called, who the artist is, and what year it was done. So, you could look the painting up on the web or in an art book and see for yourself.

I've seen some things about those, too. I once saw something in an Egyptian carving that looked exactly like the aliens that we have in movies today. It had the large head, large eyes, and it was in what clearly looked like a space suit. That one freaked me out the most.

I find this crap so interesting. I wish I could find a really good, truly objective resource on the subject.

Check out this website:

http://xfacts.com/old/index.html

It has basically all of the same art as the first one, but check out the aboriginal art at the very bottom of the page. :eek:

[~MorningManiacMusic~]

Their out there man...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_9PxbUXbug

I don't think it's particularly compelling.

I could complie a large section of diverse dragon art. I wouldn't really take that as proof of dragons.

Of course there are aliens somewhere in the universe. Lots of 'em. But I doubt their here. Why wouldn't they make contact with us?

I mean, if Aliens were going to come all the way here from light years away, I'd assume it would either be for diplomacy or war, and I don't have a hot alien wife.

That's my idea of diplomacy at least. http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I'm digressing, but I don't see this as much evidence.

[seamonster66]

I think UFOs have been here

of course I'm inclined to believe that aliens started life, or human life on earth, and thats what these paintings hint at to me.

Evidence, no, but theoretical works of art depicting the artists ideas, yes

[Nalencer]

It is not suprising being that these ancient cultures were seeded and, in the high levels, run, by aliens. We see this in almost all ancient cultures around the world. they always deify beings that are obviously alien in origin, and are obviously posessed of technology the like of which we have seen today but the ancients could never have invented in their wildest dreams. Nearly all cultures have myths of the gods coming out of the sky in some sort of craft, be it flaming chariots, etc. It's all very interesting.

And to Lodui, the dragons are actually symbolic of these extraterrestrials as well. They do not take a form resembling the dragons depicted in ancient art, but they are reptilian in nature.

[ElChivato]

why are there a bunch of "sitings" in the desert more than anywhere else. like arizona, mexico, new mexico.

[Lucifer Sam]

Because the people in the desert have gone senile from the heat? :D

[Politics are awesome]

I too find this stuff to be damn interesting...

[revolution_time]

yes, it's very interesting. it's possiable that ancient humans saw these alien beings, and assumed they were gods. or, that what we think are ufo's today are actually some natural phenomena, and something that our ancestors were aware of too. if your really interested in this sort of thing, i highly suggest you read "fingerprints of the gods". it's quite thought captivating, and very intriguing.

[lovelightlisa]

man i love this kinda stuff

[brownxfoot]

I took a look at the pictures and something says some of those are fake they look to technical with to much technology depicted. however some of the look real.

The cave art stuff is truly convincing though they are defintly out there.

[ledzeppelinlover]

i agree with seamonster66, aliens made us. i mean think about it in all movies and books and stories and even paintings they say that they have, or they show, supererior technology. then they make a small village or something in each country for each race and come back to monitor our advances in technology and how we survive to see when we might be able to communicate and not go ballistic and freak out.

That's pretty interesting.

Like we're a big long-term science project to them. Who knows? Maybe there are other planets in the universe just like ours that they picked to see how the civilization will grow. And if the experiment fails? What if they swoop in and blast everyone away, clean up, and start over? And if we succeed in our growth as humans, they finally come in and introduce themselves at the time where we won't freak out like you said...Man I'm thinking too much about this, haha.

[freakon]

thanks for showing this to us. great site !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ahh...tea]

anybody interested in Ancient UFO's should check out a series of books by Zecharia Sitchin. The first one is the Twelfth Planet and analyzes ancient Sumerian writings about their gods and the stories told to humans by them. He compiles a lot of archaelogical evidence to support that these gods were extraterrestrials who gave civilization to mankind and even made mankind to do their work on this planet. It is very interesting and offers some very intriguing evidence by paralleling Egyptian writings with the bible and the Sumerian tablets. He brings up some interesting questions like: How did the Sumerians know about all the planets in our solar system and even another one? Why did the most advanced astronomy start in the first known civilization in Sumer and decline from there? It is very worth reading.

[~MorningManiacMusic~]

There must be some trippy planets out there,that have some trippy creatures living on them....Like I wonder if theres a planet that has dinosaurs,just like there was on earth...Man I love thinking about this stuff!

[warmhandedcanadian]

morning manic music I like your siggy....

I feel that one day we will know if they are really out there and we'll go..."Of course"

What do you think? Bullshit? The real thing? Something else? :eek: you'll probably like Erich von Däniken then:

he's a whack-job,though.

some of the art needs to be looked at with an eye toward the iconographic mindset of the time in which it was produced. What looks like a sputnik to us is so because we know what a sputnik looks like. It could be such that the image represents an intirely different icon at the time it was produced. Do a little research and don't be quite so quick to put a 21st century definition on a 15th century representation. I am going to leave it at that but I would just recomend that you "google" some if this stuff...after all you all have a computer setting in front of you or else you wouldn't be posting here. Don't be so naive...use your brains just a little bit.

[HonorSeed]

The imagination to fly like a bird comes on humankind earlier than the 15th century in myths, it is probable that some of the ancients looked at falling stars and imagined themselves in shining spaceships........passing over.

[BeaverKoffi]

read my quote.... above. Aliens are present, its stupid to say that they dont exist adn God created us, These paintins proove, stupid, uncivilized people took them as gods...

[HonorSeed]

yeah I connected a few times to distant aliens during meditation, but at that great distance it was just an exchange of feelings.........the imagination tends to fill in the blanks left by just feelings with words and/or artistic mental images, that's why I wrote what I did.

[themnax]

many things in ancient art may have been litteraly "unidentified" to the artest. although we tend to think of such 'abstractions' as being a somewhat more modern phenomina.

people from other worlds are just people. people who don't look like what you think of as people maybe, but still just people, who eat and shit and breathe.

they did NOT start 'life' on this earth. even human life. and if they had, that would still beg the question of how did THEIR life start!

no, every world fallows it's own course of evolution, which is why people from different worlds look different from each other, not to mention of course, each are evolved to breathe the air on the world they evolved in and would almost certainly requre to wear some sort of life support tecnology to walk arround on any other world, such, for example, as our own.

most of this is pretty much common sense to anyone who gives even a little rational thought to it.

most solar systems, like ours, have only one planet capable of supporting the kind of living organisms, including ourselves, we are familiar with, and many may have none. but there are litteraly gazillions of other solar systems out there, even in our own universe.

there is invoulved of course however, the slight problem of travelling the distances between them. i don't think most mainstream goshwow really very well comprehends the scale invoulved.

goshwow as anti science is crap. but if that's what you wan't to play with that's your own trip. enjoy yourself but don't use it as an excuse to beat anyone over the head.

do i think people from other worlds, tangible material people, flying in tangable material space vehicules, have been to and visited this earth? i believe it is very possible that they may. and i certainly believe they exist.

but like i say, i also belive mainstream anti-science goshwow is a whole lot of crap.

nontangable forces and beings exist too, but the connection between priorities and probabilities have a whole heck of a lot more to do with what we actualy experience and the kind of world we all have to live in

Can't say for sure whether I believe it to be true or not, but it's pretty cool nonetheless!

I have read the whole twelth planet series a couple times. Sitchin seems to have it nailed down pretty well. He spent so many years studying this that I think it almost has to go beyond theory. And if you subscribe to his concepts, it explains ALOT of things that were just a mystery before.

[Make Mangoes Not War]

I was going to mention Aboriginal Art and the UFO's in them. :) I don't see why aliens wouldn't exist. If God created us, why no-one else, nowhere else?

Edit: But I do have to agree with what is being said about attaching a 21st Century definition to 15th Century art.

me too... but is seems a little queer when you first look at them....

[HonorSeed]

they do exist, I telepathically exchanged emotions with a alien girl. I think she lived in a cave, but it was like a oracle cave, she is a healer on her planet.

I am trying learn to project astrally, is this similar, and how do you know its not just your sub-conscious or something?

thanks.

ufo activity and ancient egyptians are constantly thought to of co-existed. there are some ancient egyptian statistics and facts that still confuse researchers and historians today.
for example, it took egyptians 15 years of solid hard work to construct a pyramid, using the only tools they had back then which wouldn't off been extensive. However, TODAY, with the toold that we have (cranes and everything) it is said that it'd take 23 years to make a pyramid, that's with full calculations. so what the fuck is going on there?
also, coffins in tombs were sealed from the inside with NO WAY of opening them, like a marble surface making it impossible for them to come apart.
these and a lot more suggest ufo in ancient time. these "gods" that people believe in could just be beings from other planets.

[PsyGrunge]

Also, egyptian hyroglyphs have been reported to of been found on the findings of various UFO remains..
