conspiracy theorists claiming that ancient statues and paintings not looking realistic means there were aliens in the way back days is kinda funny. imagine living thousands of years go in fucking russia and going “I’m going to carve a statue of a funny man. I’m not very good at it, but clearly people will know what it is and the gods will be pleased!” and spending time painstakingly carving this giant wooden man.
and then like 11,000 years later some dude goes “this is so grotesque and exaggerated that it cant possibly be mistaken for a human being!” like….fucking ouch.
