There are too many similarities to a modern astronaut in a space shuttle being shown by the carvings.
Now the artifact here shown, make us wonder...
Were the Mayan trying to depict an extraterrestrial being?
Were they been exposed to modern technology with their own limited understanding during that time?
Did the ancient aliens influence the Mayan culture in someways?
