My conclusion was not that aliens and spaceships don't exist. But there's no evidence in this thread which shows that they do, unless we are operating on the assumption that art is to be taken literally and contains no iconography - and that we disregard the time period in which it was painted and the way in which certain ideas were commonly expressed by artists of the day.

It just seems a bit odd to explain some of the more obvious references in art as iconography. It's no less odd than explaining them as UFOs (because why would they add them like that) but I don't dismiss either explanation.

I like to take the larger body of references as a whole, from the various hindu references to the biblical references to the strange paintings and even stranger ancient cave paintings, and the strangest of all, the Nazca lines. All of them together are enough to keep me questioning, and my Trekkie side has every reason to keep hope alive [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
