WTF | Mystery Astronaut Carving in Ancient Temples in Salamanca, Spain | Pics

Inside the splendid Ieronimus Cathedral, built by Episcope de Salamanca in 1102 A.D., among the fascinating carvings of mythical animals and saints, we find – NASA Astronaut…
Maybe they entered some time portal while on the Moon, and ended up scaring medieval builders in Spain? Probably just a modern addition by the mischievous restoration team.

I noticed that the astronaut is carved from stone that appears newer than that above. Could it have been added by workmen making recent repairs?

Definitely, but could be that they meant to portray something else and we are only finding the Astronaut

“Hard to believe…photoshoped?”

It’s not photoshopped. It was added by a restoration crew recently.

Has anyone asked the principles, or even the locals what it’s all about?

yeah. i actually visited this cathedral when i went over to spain earlier last year.
the tour guide said that they repaired that bottom portion of the cathedral and added the astronaut as kind of a joke. there is also an ice cream cone carved into the building several feet from the astronaut…
i touched that astronaut…

Thank you – Zildjianmum. Local workers seem to have a great sense of humor. I guess we don’t have another DaVinci code happening here.

Look – come down to earth people … simpy you can see the ancient fireman with his little hose was cut into stone – however the actual needs for firemen changed drastically and left NASA with the used outfits due to government downsizing … there was no funds to send others anywhere excepting in the fire men’s ex – clothing. Clear as mud????

Please put out brains together …. don’t listen to the guy with the story … something is fishy when he says he played with the guy carved in stones image … not implying he has pent up feelings … just his story don’t grrovvvve with the real issues … fire men – became astronauts later – thousands of years later … hey – your uncle is a monkey isn’t he??? Whats the difference???

Thank you.

Everyone—
Clearly this is the work of someone who has traveled back in time from NASA. However, it was probably the robot sidekick who did the actual carving, since the craftsmanship is so precise. We need to take this seriously, or else one day time travel will not BE invented, and this astronaut will disappear (like in Back to the Future)...

Seriously. Think of his children.

aintmyfault-you have no idea what you’re talking about
my story “groovvvvves” with everything.
i was there and i did see that it was added when they renovated the place
you don’t have to pretend like you know everything.
