Tinfoil time: that one's a fairly common image in petroglyphs on several continents. See also the "Squatter Man".
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoTheory one: People retained certain cultural traits during the spread of humans across the world, like the squatter man, and these cultural figures were forgotten or replaced at a much slower rate than they have been in the past 5-10K years. Theory two: The figures were independently reinvented multiple times over. I mean birds appear pretty much everywhere. Same with e.g pyramid shapes appearing all over the world; it's the most simple, most stable shape to build something tall ish, yet a bit prettier than just a mound.
