The Gasp Menagerie: Ancient Alien Overlords Depicted in Indian Rock Paintings

Ancient aliens visiting earth, guiding early man. In the 70’s, with the popularity of Erich von Däniken’s book and Harald Reinl’s film Chariot of the Gods, they were a hot topic. The Nazca Lines, Pyramids of Giza, and other wonders suggest the use of technology unavailable to people of the period.
This, and the scattered ancient artwork on several continents that suggests flying machines and men in spacesuits, drove a paranormal fad into a pop culture phenomenon.
While much of the evidence related to the ancient astronaut theory has been refuted, it’s difficult to debunk much of the artistic evidence left behind by ancient men, and the latest discovery of this kind of graphic evidence is in India.
The Times of India is reporting the discovery of ancient cave paintings in the relatively remote state of Chhattisgarh. These paintings depict humanoids who appear to be wearing suits with round helmets as well as disc-shaped craft with landing gear. They are estimated to be 10,000 years old, long before any technology beyond simple tools was available. Check them out for yourselves below courtesy of TOI’s Amit Bhardwaj.
Alone, this would be an interesting discovery. What makes it creepy is that the region has ancient folklore concerning a race of people called “rohela people,” which means “small ones.” These people are said to have come down from the heavens in ancient days, taking one or two people from villages who were never returned.
Yep, folks, ancient Indians created “The X-Files” long before Chris Carter.
Further examination of the artwork is due to happen soon as the remote state doesn’t have an expert on hand who specializes in ancient artwork like this. Could these be depictions of small alien creatures coming down and dominating a primitive, ancient group of humans in India? Or are they just representations of the imagination and religion of ancient men not yet advanced enough to understand how their art would later be interpreted?
