Alien Lore No. 84 - ancient astronauts in the art

Various UFOlogists, art historians, and crackpots have written about the alien/UFO content in some of these paintings. The art ranges from about Shakespeare's time to 29,000 years old.

Did the artists have great imaginations? Were they abducteees and/or throwbacks? Were they implantees? Drug-addled mystics? Or are these objects in paintings hints, as some conspiracists have theorized--images of spaceships and aliens elicited from our great collective unconscious to help soften us up for the actual invasion (if it wasn't already stealthily underway right under our noses)? Or do we carry the germ in all of us--the cultural memories and images---a psychic imprint--because the Greys are our cousins and came here long ago? Were these works of art realistic? Drawn directly from UFO sightings? I don't think we're going to know the answer this week. . .



This painting comes from a cave in Tanzania. It may be up to 29,000 years old. One section seems to show Aliens about to implant the demon seed? There is also an alien-looking figure looking down into a box, or a well? Or what?




The Madonna with Saint Giovannino was painted in the 15th century, and is attributed to the school of Frau Lippo Lippi. Above Mary's right shoulder is a saucer (see inset). On the right a man and dog are seen gazing at the saucer.




A detail from a Yugoslavian fresco circa 1350 A.D. This painting of a crucifixion contains saucer-like objects flying overhead. Some schools of alien lore claim that the Greys witnessed the crucufixion of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.



The Baptism of Christ was painted in Flanders by Aert De Gelderin about 1710. A hovering saucer shines some kind of ray down on John the Baptist and Jesus.




This image of a crusader and saucer comes from a 12th century manuscript. Books about historical and religion events refer to a UFO sighting in the year 776, during the siege on Sigiburg castle, France. The Saxons and the French were fighting when suddenly a group of discs appeared hovering over the top of the church. The Saxons thought the French were protected by these objects and the Saxons fled.



This painting shows Moses receiving the stone tablets with several UFOs in the sky nearby. Know one knows who painted this, or when. . .

An ancient Egyptian depiction of what seems to be a classic Grey. This mural was found inside the Tomb of Ptah-Hotep, at Saqqara, Egypt. In the painting, servants offer food to the Egyptian Philosopher Ptah-Hotep (at a table to the left of this part of the picture). Ptah-hotep served during the reign of Izezi as a sage. Izezi ruled Egypt from 2388 to 2356 BC.

This relief seems to show a helicopter, a submarine, a UFO and what seems to be an airplane.
