Mythology

Immortal Gods from Above

Our most distant historical memories
contain references to powerful beings,
many of their deeds we can duplicate today.

From primitive cave drawings dating back some 20,000 years
to Renaissance Era paintings and tapestries, even early photographs
fiery wheels, burning shields and saucers appear ~ but are seldom explained.
Today, we associate these all too common visualizations with the UFO phenomenon.

The technology possessed by these space travelers, Ancient Astronauts,
is obviously hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years ahead of our own.
It is therefore certainly likely that they have been visiting us for a very long time.

Faerie Tales

A New Religion

~ UFO Coin, 1680 ~
French Medal apparently commemorating
a UFO sighting of a wheel like object in Renaissance France

~ "The Baptism of Christ" ~
Fitzwilliam Musuem, Cambridge, England
Painted in 1710 by Flemish artist Aert De Gelder
depicts a classic, hovering, silvery, saucer shaped UFO
shining beams of light down on John the Baptist and Jesus.

The Crucifixion - with chasing Spaceships

The Crucifixion - Right Spaceship

"The Crucifixion" hangs above the altar at the Visoki Decani Monestary in Kosovo, Yugoslavia ~ it was painted in 1350.
On either side of Jesus are a pair of Jetsons like skycars, one chasing the other ~ the pilots apparently working controls.
The leading craft is decorated with two twinkling stars, one reminiscent of national insignia on modern aircraft.

The Crucifixion - Left Spaceship

The Crucifixion - Right Spaceship

~ "The Madonna with Saint Giovannino" ~
Above Mary's right shoulder is a shining, or glowing, disk shaped object.
A man and his dog can clearly be seen looking up at the floating object in the composite below.
Painted in the 15th century, Palazzo Vecchio lists the artist as unknown ~ although attributed to the Lippi school.

Upon closer inspection, the man seems to be looking away from the UFO, behind him and over his shoulder.
Or, more likely, the notably out of place object may be imagined floating above the ground between them.
From either perspective, could Mary be seen as blocking the two babies from the flying saucer's view?
Perhaps the dog glimpses the hovering object ~ with it's mouth open, it could even be barking at it.
But what is that dark, sparkling, disassembled figure beside them ~ a dwarf, or an ethereal being?
A body, legs, head, and tail can be made out. Could this represent a type of alien, or demon?
Also, Mary's halo seems a bit shadowy ~ more like a vaporous disc than a ring of light.

"The Annunciation"
painted by Carlo Crivelli in 1486
on display in the National Gallery in London.
A familiar disk shaped object is shining a beam of light
through the house wall and down onto the top of Mary's head.
Much activity is going on in this painting, besides people pointing
~ filled with cryptic symbolism, the meanings lost to modern researchers.

What are the strange, ethereal, almost surreal, objects floating above Mary's doorway?
Who is is peeking out from the doorway at the top of the alley stairs on the far left center?
Who is lying on the bed behind Mary ~ and why aren't the people in the street looking up?
What is the disturbance in the clouds, behind the UFO, exactly opposite the energy beam?

~ "The Assumption of the Virgin" ~
Painted circa 1490 ~ by an unknown artist.
Saucer shaped "clouds" intrigue modern ufologists.
Could so many have appeared in the sky at one time?
Or, are the hat shaped UFOs depicted so numerous here
to punctuate certain events as being particularly holy?

The Assumption of the Virgin - circa 1490

Moses and the Ten Commandments

In this painting on wood drawer from furniture kept at the Earls D�Oltremond, in Belgium,
Moses is depicted receiving the tablets of the Ten Commandments, with "flaming horns."
Several equally flaming objects are in the sky before him ~ date and artist are unknown.

"Glorification of the Eucharist" ~ painting by Bonaventura Salimbeni.
Painted in 1600, today it hangs in the church of San Lorenzo in San Pietro, Montalcino, Italy
Notice the Sputnik Satellite like device that some consider to be a stylized representation of the Earth.

From: A UFO in Pianello?
Ufologists from all parts of the globe come to Montalcino to stare at this amazing painting. Read the story, but you�ll need to come and see it for yourself � only you can decide!
The painting is structured vertically and the Holy Eucharist is placed in the geometric centre surrounded by various holy people and priests on each side. In the upper part of the painting the Holy Trinity is depicted: On the right is God the Father, on the left is God the Son, and above Them in the centre, is the Dove which represents the Holy Spirit. In the lower left one of the people wears a crown similar to that of a Pope � it is believed to be Pope Clemente VII.
But what�s this strange object in the upper centre? What is it that sits between God the Father and God the Son, directly below the Dove? Is it not a shining almost metallic coloured sphere with a strange glow rising at the top? And what are those two long straight rods attached to the surface of the sphere? The rods appear to widen at the bottom to form a round base on the sphere, while at the very tip of the narrow end of the rod, we find a tiny round ball.
Why is God the Father holding on to one rod, and God the Son holding the other? Are these rods some kind of antennae? Look again at the sphere. What is that small round tube shaped protrusion at the bottom left? It is very evident to the eye, but could it be possible? Is it a telescope�or a tiny telecamera?
Perhaps you remember man�s first venture into space, the years of the �sputniks�? This painting has Ufologists baffled because this sphere is uncannily reminiscent of early satellites launched into space during the 1950�s. The Vangard II satellite launched by the USA in 1959, for example.
This painting was put to canvas in the year 1600. What did Bonaventura Salimbeni see in the skies above Sienese territory more than four hundred years ago? What on earth � or in space � prompted him to depict the Holy Trinity in this strange manner?

Notabilia Temporum by Angelo de Tummulillis Renaissance Illustration from Prodigiorum Liber

Domino or "cigar shaped" craft also appear in ancient art ~ Notabilia Temporum by Angelo de Tummulillis
(left) describes a "flaming girder" sighted in February 1465 the sky during the reign of Enrico IV
~ a similar renaissance illustration (right) of a UFO sighting in that occurred in Rome
detailed in the book "Prodigiorum Liber" by Roman historian Julio Obsequens.
The caption translates: "Something like a sort of weapon, or missile,
rose with a great noise from the earth and soared into the sky."
They resemble the monoliths featured in the movie 2001.

In this ancient Mandarin Chinese painting,
the characters and dressed alike, in blue and black.
Also, the bald heads are reminiscent of the classic Grays.
The flags depicted resemble flames, as from a rocket's exhaust.

Caption: "These two people want to go on a journey by cart towards the West wind.
After 1000 miles they meet the East wind and then decide to return" (loosely translated).
Although not solid evidence that the ancient Chinese knew of alien visitors, or their sky carts,
there are enough tantalizing clues in the illustration and text to suggest an ancient UFO sighting.

The Magnificat - 15th Century Tapestry

These two tapestries were created in the 15th century.
Both are located at the French Basillica Notre-Dame in Beaune, Burgandy.
Hat shaped objects can be clearly seen in both tapestries which depict the life of Mary.
The above tapestry is entitled "The Magnificat" ~ the below tapestry's title is unknown.
