Why do so many religious paintings and carvings portray spaceships and aliens

Feck Sodahed 2009/03/24 00:03:45
God is from a galaxy far far away.
Ancient artists had a fascination with spaceships and aliens because they saw the movies Star Wars and ET.

Here we have a painting which was created by Aert De Gelder in 1710, it is titled “The Baptism of Christ”. This painting is currently on display at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.

Pay particular attention to the flying saucer shaped object which seems to be casting rays of light upon Jesus Christ and John the Baptist.

Why did the artist add such a feature to his painting? Why do we see objects which appear to by UFOs in these old religious paintings?

Here is another very interesting religious painting which seems to show an alien spacecraft. It is entitled “The Madonna with Saint Giovannino”.

This Madonna was painted sometime during the 1400s. The artist’s name is not known, but the painting has been credited to the Lippi school.

At first glance you will probably notice a strange shape in the sky above the Madonna’s left shoulder. If you were to see the original, full size painting you would see the object clearly.

Looking at the enlargement of that area you can see that there is some sort of flying craft in the sky. You can even see that there is a man and his dog standing there who seem to be looking up at the craft.

Here is a painting that is titled “The Crucifixion”. This fresco was created in the year 1350 and is currently displayed over the altar of the Visoki Decani Monestary in Kosovo. In this painting you will notice two very strange elements in the upper right and left corners. What could they be?

Here we have a rock painting from ancient Australia. The figures in the painting are known as ‘Vondjina’ a god of creation. Notice the large eyes and the classic alien looking head as well as the thing which covers their heads. Was this a depiction of how the artist understood the gods, or aliens, to look?

    "...The skull itself has been one of mystery and intrigue. Scientific tests were performed on the skull in the 1980's by the Hewlett-Packard Corporation, when the controversy over its origins and age came up once more. The results of the tests were astonishing -it was discovered that the clear quartz crystal skull is carved against its natural grain - which means it shouldn't even exist. Carving against the grain would shatter the object being carved. Moreover, scientists weren't able to determine how the skull was carved, for there were no discernable carving marks left by either ancient or modern day carving tools. Observed carefully under laboratory conditions and with exacting microscopic equipment, this discovery puzzled and perplexed the scientists.

    Modern day crystal skulls are carved with diamond tipped carving tools that leave marks. Older skulls or even ancient stone artifacts were carved with more primitive tools, leaving their own indelible marks upon the surface of the carving. But no such markings were found on the Mitchell-Hedges skull..."

    ....and the bottom jaw is removeable!!!!.

    There was a plate sized disc discovered recently in Germany made of a metal and of astrological means showing the half moon I believe and some stars.I THINK they have dated it to about 200 after Christ(!!?)but am not sure as something very special was said about this disc,other than it had been worked on and changed twice and that those living in the area at the time could not make any metal(Had no Iron/metal/copper ore or such resources or such knowledge at the time...so maybe come to think of it its older than I have stated etc).

    Its believed to be a portable asrological calender...of druid use??.The cosmic costellation shown is believed to show a certain astrological time etc etc.Will see what I can find.There have been other such objects found(man made)but the Mitchell Hedges skull is one of the few finds that cannot be proved to be of human origin.I think its known that if you send a light direct into the skull(in a certain "made for that"place) all of the colors of the light spectrum come out the other side!!.

    There is a theory gaining momentum between the atheist and agnostic crowd. Aliens started life on this planet.

    The bible teaches there will be an enormous deception foisted in the end days

    Oh ok...cus I have always thought that we aren;t even actually alive. We're really all just characters in some long book, but the main people we don't even get to know because, well...we're not important in the story, just a backround.

    These paintings go back thousands of years to the Sumarians. It's not something new. And it isn't a big Athiest/Agnostic conspiracy. Many of these paintings are part of the design and architecture of Christian churches.

    The deception has happened a very long time. Next comes the truth & many who are "believers" will not be able to handle it.

    The bible teaches

    2TH 2:11 ....and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

    2Th 2:11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie

    Conspiracy, no. According to plan, yes.

    Yes by bringing and putting one living cell on this earth which started things off(evolution)...so its said.But I have also heard a similiar theory that the idea was to produce humans as slaves for those from another planet!(?)..If you then ask yourself the question who created God or what was before there was nothing(in order to cause something!)these theories dont sound so bizzare if you ask me!.The Big Bang theory is very plausible me thinks,More so perhaps as believing a man can rise up from the dead and"float off"into the clouds!.(oh that may be true you know i.e Levitation)."The sun being the giver of life...the sky its platform and then one day a spaceship from far away lands on planet earth.Maybe not for the first time.Some people do tend to look up when they want to speak to thier gods anyway!!(but why if he/she/them are around us!?.Anything is possible nothing is certain.

    There is another theory that a molecule on the backs of crystals is how life started. All of this junk is coming from the atheist and agnostic crowd.

    One theory is that there was a primordial soup on earth that when hit with lightning made all the ingredients for life (Newclayic Acids?)(Amino acids?) & given a million years or so formed the first living cell.

    Yes, How did they make the blocks in the great pyramid fit so well that you can not get a thin knife or wire inbetween then unless they were cut by a laser or something of high technology? Some say the blocks were lifited by a force field and that the Pharaohs were aliens and that's why they could only breed with their own kind which caused inbreeding deformities.

    Recent science has proved that Akhenaten and family suffered from a rare illness which deformed the skull,not though from incest but inherited I think;

    "...Head shape


    As for the shape of Akhenaten's head, Dr. Braverman attributes this to a condition called craniosynostosis, in which sutures, the fibrous joints of the head, fuse at an early age, and interfere with the process of skull formation. The specific condition, called a sagittal suture, is dominantly inherited. Dr. Braverman says he observed this abnormality in the king's daughters as well as in Queen Hatshepsut, daughter of Tuthmosis I, founder of Akhenaten's paternal line, and in King Tut, who ended this line.

    Sutures normally expand as the brain expands and typically do not fuse until the age of 25 to 30. "At first, I wondered whether they bound the heads of infants to get this effect," says Dr. Braverman, "but there is no mention of this in Egyptian literature." The mummies could also be tested for the presence of three genes known to be responsible for most of the craniosynostosis syndromes.."END.

    On the actual Pyramid construction there is a similiar debate about the building of Stonehenge as the type of stone used was and can only be found 200 miles away in a place in Wales.The stones weigh between 20 and 40 tons...

    For any life on another planet we are aliens so yes aliens exist.... unless we are the only ones anywhere at all!.Who knows we might be Gods to them or they are gods for us!!?Whose to know for certain..until its proved or not proved.I think its a bit arrogant to think theres only us actually and I can imagine at the latest the village of Roswell and President Trumann found that out in ...1947?!.

    A European woman who claimed she had been kidnapped by aliens passed the lie detector test with 100%(was video recorded by"Headshrinks" who were also present).But the funny thing was she was having regular visits to the hospital just before she was kidnapped and the records showed in simple words that she COULD have children the last time she was there anyway..before her kidnapping!.Later after she did the lie detector test she went back to hospital to carry on with the tests and they took some xrays down there.The doctor blew his top when he looked at the Xrays as now she didnt have anything down there to be able to have children anymore.She was put on a lie detector again and asked if she had been to another hospital for treatment to which she denied.The Test result proved once again she was teling the truth.... 100%..The impotent "Greys"are everywhere it seems!!.Well your guess is as good as mine!.

    WOW! Thanks for all of that!
    Since there are at least trillions of stars in the universe and we can not see the end of it. That means there are millions of planets, some of which stands a good chance of having life. My bet is that the universe is TEAMING with all kinds of life forms.
