The “Alien” Petroglyphs of Chile’s Valle del Encanto

Peculiar pre-Hispanic petroglyphs & ancient astronaut theories

Newsroom August 8 12:45

The Enchanted Valley, known as el Valle del Encanto in Spanish, is one of the most well-known rock art sites in Chile. Home to a varied set of petroglyphs, pictographs and so-called cup-marked stones, these archaeological remains have been attributed to the El Molle culture from 2,300 years ago. However, this author argues that these puzzling petroglyphs date back to a far earlier era and that they are actually part of a lithic library recording the visit of ancient aliens to planet Earth during prehistoric times.

The Pre-Colombian Rock Art of Valle del Encanto

The Enchanted Valley is located in a gorge of the Punitaqui estuary in the region of Coquimbo in northern Chile, just 26 kilometers (16 mi) west of the city of Ovalle. This ancient archaeological site is known for its varied rock art which established archaeologists have associated with the El Molle Cultural Complex which existed in the area from about the 3rd century BC to the 8th century AD.

Following the cosmological concepts of the Glacial Cosmogony theory, also known as the Welteislehre or World Ice Doctrine, I would argue that these remains are actually much older and date back as far as the last flood catastrophe around 12,900 years ago. This would make these remains contemporary to the Paleo-American population of dolichocephalic skulls, popularly known as elongated skulls.
