Jose Caravaca, our Spanish lonely, conjectures that a number of of the images found in the rock paintings of Tassili (above/below) be redolent of scenes of abduction by, we responsibility, extraterrestrial theater group.
The paintings underside, he envisions, show women being led to a "saucer" or encircling craft:
This painting (underside), from Tassili, is recurrently cited by Ancient Astronaut theorists as an image of a space-helmeted alien being from exterior the Earth:
And in the orangey painting enhanced, one sees that extremely "hood" on a animal being dominated somewhere.
Were the helmets sought-after for ramble exterior the Earth's atmosphere?
Were the helmets definitely space helmets? Or divide of plain carry out garb?
Senor Caravaca's sway is lively, but is impart choice explanation for the images?
We don't track down an anthropological tabloid intense.
Dr. Giorgio Gualco, in the article second hand by Banter Sordelet, in his relocation about Tassili a few sparkle ago, suggests that the paintings are "characterized by human figures as well as round heads, recurrently bearing headdresses of horns or downcast."
Dr. Gualco is turn of phrase the depictions are caricatures of lower, but the Tassili paintings didn't travesty the natural world offered, or anything else.
The humans pictured are (innovatively) stylized, but not to a stage that they are unrecognizable as human beings. The women's breasts are celebrated and their sexual category compared to pictures of men is unoriginal.
So why would the painters manufacture headdresses (helmets!) that are detached from their actuality; that is, why helmets that are "caricatured" for example something else isn't?
Jose Caravaca's secretive eye may bring into being found something -- something to prop AA theory and Bizarre Convulsion stories equally.
