Wow, that dude had some beak on em.They built up the bridge of the nose with putty often well up onto the forehead. Don't know if it was pure aesthetics or symbolized status.

I’m just not a big fan of Erich Von Daniken and his ancient astronauts. Don’t even get me started on the Annunaki.

I’m not a fan of Von Daniken either, but this artifact needs a whole lot more investigation and research, it’s just so out of place imo.

Here's one interpretation:
"In reality, the relief shows the World Tree, which the Maya believed had its roots in the underworld, trunk on the earthly plane, and branches high in paradise, and Pacal's relationship to it in death. The king is depicted either at the moment of his death falling from the earthly plane down into Xibalba or at the moment of his resurrection from the underworld, climbing up the World Tree toward paradise. The adornments along the edges represent the sky and other glyphs the sun and moon and, still others, past rulers of Palenque and Pacal's place among them. The bird at the top of the tree is the Bird of Heaven (also known as The Celestial Bird or Principal Bird Deity) who represents the realm of the gods in this piece, and the `urn' beneath Pacal is the entrance to Xibalba." link

I watched an old move with him in it the other day, “The Cuban Love Song,” from 1931.

That’s obviously a tunnel boring machine. Not a spaceship.

I see features of alien origin not too many generations removed from the initial breeding.
