The island of Malta in the Mediterranean has a long, violent and mysterious history. Under the island is a huge network of underground tunnels.  Many of which are yet to be explored. But since the 1940’s, children have been reported missing and echoing screams have been heard in the many chambers, though none of those children have ever been found.  But that’s not all that’s strange about these tunnels. 

During the Crusades, the island was guarded and protected from the many invasive outside forces by a highly-skilled, elite group of knights. The Ottoman Empire, attempting to gain control of the Mediterranean, wanted the island for themselves and tried to invade. But these skilled knights managed to fight off this force for many years even though they were outnumbered nearly 6 to 1. And, along with other forces in Europe, the empire was eventually defeated. But the knights remained there and were rumored to have been guarding many secrets inside the network of underground tunnels underneath this tiny island nation. These secrets may have included loot from the Ottomans and the Crusades, but the caverns have many more stories to tell.

I love to hear about instances where amateur or unknown researchers make amazing discoveries where science missed the mark. This is one such story.

In the high deserts of southern Peru, just 200 miles south of Lima, lies one of the driest places on earth. A place where it only rains about 20 minutes a year on average. And only if you travel by air to the region, can you see one of the greatest ancient mysteries on earth. Grayish rusty lines intersect in all directions across the barren landscape. Known only as The Nazca Lines, they’ve stumped scientists for the last eighty years, or since air travel over the region was humanly possible, as they can’t be seen to any degree from ground level.  Which has fueled theories of alien activity by ancient astronaut theorists. Most notably, researcher and author of Chariots of the Gods, Erich Von Daniken. Why would the lines only be visible from the air at a time when humans were incapable of air travel?

Science continues to either ignore or completely deny the existence of aliens and their possible role in our history. Of course, there may be no way to verify it all by the scientific method. But to some of us it’s pretty obvious that we’ve had unusual visitors in our ancient past. Why else would figures like these turn up in our ancient art and texts?

This statue said to have been found in Jerusalem by archaeologist Sir William Petrie, seriously resembles descriptions of modern accounts of grey aliens. It seems to be wearing an Egyptian-style headdress of some sort, and on the right side of the frame, the inscriptions appear to depict alien encounters, including a saucer-shaped craft beaming light downward.
Scientists and other researchers often explain these as the ancients depicting mythical beings. But what if they were depicting things they actually saw? On looking at this statue, it’s well worth asking the questions.




This painting from 15th century of the Virgin Mary depicts what looks an awful lot like a saucer-shaped craft hovering over the scene . A man can be seen staring up at the craft, while his dog sits looking upward barking at it. It seems like an awful lot of detail and context for an event that never happened. Why would an artist in that time with no knowledge of such things create a painting such as this?












Just exactly what is the object in the top of this painting?  Painted by Flemish artist Aert De Gelder, and titled The Baptism of Christ, it’s hard to say this object is anything else but a depiction that matches modern accounts of “flying saucers,” complete with beaming rays of light streaming down on the scene. Artists were often depicting a biblical story the way they were told it happened. So why would Gelder depict such a pivotal event this way? And even if he made the whole thing up, how could he even imagine such a thing at that time unless suggestions of such a thing had been made by others? And how would THEY have imagined such a thing?




 

Another depiction of a grey alien in an ancient carving that graced an archway of Nazlet El Samman, Egypt. It’s origin is still considered a mystery, though it doesn’t seem quite as mysterious to us. 




The most interesting thing about all this is that there was no place to stop. There are endless numbers of examples all over the world. Scientists scoff at the idea of aliens, but don’t offer satisfactory explanations that are any less ridiculous than ours. Check out the rest of these.
