I've seen programs/documentaries about these things and I can't be more fascinated about than anything else. Records of other civilizations! Whatever and However one would put it, if only you could resurrect the ancient artists of that time and ask them to draw a laser gun or a saucer, i bet you they wouldn't have a clue what you are saying. I believe that if they saw something amazing, they will draw it up, recording it in history to come.
It's just a shame that all this time, all this time, that most are still skeptical whether alien life does exist. Just how long has it been? B.C.? A.D.? Maybe even before B.C.! Yet, ancient records/sculptures/stone art/writings/etc, only says "wild imagination" to those skeptical on the subject.
This makes me wonder about our young, space faring race, "How on earth did the human species ever get past the debate on the earth being flat!"

Some say those Planes are just made up and can not be planes, because there are Faces on them, well, Fighter planes have faces painted on them, just look at our fighter jets just some 20 years ago, the Phantom usually had Teeth on the noses etc...
I have another theory. IMHO the "faces" of the aircrafts may be their cockpit with odd windows and the mouth could be some air scoop. No big deal, but I think the fact that serpents were associated with Quetzalcoatl may have something to do with those weird snake-like UFOs usually seen in Mexico. I don't if they are probes, or some crazy piloted alien machine or something, but also reminds me the "flying dragons" seen in ancient China.

There was also this other place with blocks of stone/rock which were precisely cut like if done by laser and which are very heavy...and scientists weren't able to replicate them with todays technology! Forgot their name...but their famous. Still, great thread, starred! I know it's true they were here...I just wish it was commonly known and we knew all the details regarding this. BTW, I wanted to ask you a long time ago - from which movie is your avatar?

Hmmmm, according to Zecharia Sitchin, the Anunnaki got bored of so many wars they created that they left Earth. Also he claims that their biological clock was messed up and they were getting older faster than in their original planet and also getting sick. But I don't think the Anunnaki were the only alien race living on Earth in ancient time. I think that are still small groups of ancient alien races living in underground bases, probably also in Mars... There's an entire alien civilization living under the Tibet mountains. That's why Chinese government keep military over there and torture monks, 'cos they know where is the entrance to such bases, but they prefer to die before say something.

Probably not, such an advanced race would have to have some basic tech like wireless network . Them holding those "gadgets" in their hands indicates it's probably something of importance. I can't imagine why would such a race have one hand busy all the time. Perhaps it's a gift, or just a bucket of foods for whatever purpose, something for us humans and not for themselves.

I'm not "probably" right, I'm absolutely right.
My problem is that people like the OP pretend to know more about these cultures than REAL archaeologists, yet doesn't even know where they were geographically.
A handful of hours of internet research doesn't compare to what real scholars have put into it. Period.

Are you asking about the sarcophagus lid? That's genuine. It portrays him and the tree of life as he descends to the underworld...at least that's what scholars of Mayan culture have translated from the lid...the guys that do it for a living. God only knows how Daniken saw a spaceship?
If you're asking about the decorative artwork being claimed as an exhaust pipe...it's doubtful imo. It's an unsourced 70s image in one of Ucalien's links

Hey mate. Not talking about Pacal's lid, definitely know that's genuine. Talking about the artifact the OP posted.
The artifact is a decontextualised holiday snap from I'd guess the 70s due to the graininess. It's what I'd call a 'random.' No source. It could be a decorative chiminea or municipal artwork.
What leads me to be dismissive of the object is the incestuous nature of the alien astronauts fraternity...they all fish in the same small pool. With the exception of the LHC connection (genius!) there isn't an image or detail that hasn't been used before...except the one we're talking about.
I know ancient astronauts is a subject you are keen on and one I dispute, but in this case I think we can agree that the object in the image could be anything from anywhere at any time. Essentially meaningless.

The OP was hogwash and knows it. Very little of the 'narrative' holds water and all points can be explained without recourse to aliens. The good thing about the OP is that it collected most of the strands of the alien astronaut BS in one place and illustrated it too.
Despite knowing it's fantasy, there's a place for this kind of stuff. Nearly 200 flags shows there's an interest...a market for it. Quite a few of the 200 members (-1 cos I flagged it too) will learn some critical thinking through stories like this. It all unravels when picked at, but there's a lot to be learned while picking.
For people like me and *some* of the other skeptics, it's a difficult line we walk. On one hand we present facts and 'deny ignorance,' on the other hand we don't want people to lose their imaginations. Most of us once believed half the stuff in the OP and understand the attractions. /Soliloquy

Phoenicians were around South America for sure (there are Phoenician's stone carvings in Brazil), so they could also very well be around Central America. And since snakes, birds of prey and certain insects has symbolic meanings and were shared by many cultures I don't find it impossible to believe that they could also be the ones that set their feet in there.

SV Gravity, I hate to tell you but your racism is showing.
