Hey guys, today I am going to a very remote part of Colombia known as El Tablon, which
means a platform or a flat board in Spanish.
There is a very strange ancient carving at this place which is supposed to be one of
the oldest carvings, showing an alien, an extraterrestrial figure.
Here, the roads are not paved and are very narrow.
This is deep country side of Colombia and the road is flanked by plenty of trees and
plants.
This place is nowhere near the road, which means we had to park the truck and then walk.
I do have a Colombian guide with me, who helps me with my travels.
Archeology department of Colombia has put up steps, leading to this area, but this is
a site no one visits because of its remote location.
I had to walk for about 30 minutes before I finally saw La Chaquira.
Right away, you will get a strange feeling when you look at this figure.
This is one of the weirdest carvings I have ever seen.
Its eyes are too large to be human and it has a strange smile, almost a mischievous
grin on its face.
What's the origin of this statue?
Archeologists have no idea, but perhaps his finger pointing to the sky might have the
answer to that.
Did he come from the sky, thousands of years ago?
Let us go take a closer look and see if we can get any other information.
Normally people do not climb up the rocks to get closer to this.
Chaquira appears to have a helmet with a small protrusion on top, if this is not a transmitter
or antenna, it could be a topknot.
At the bottom, look at its legs, its wearing boots and both the legs are pointing in different
directions.
Talking about directions, Chaquira appears to be aligned facing the east, and this may
have something to do with the sunrise.
And this is a brilliant location, on the other side you can see a valley, there are waterfalls,
a river and there is nobody around, this is a fantastic location to carve this figure.
Going back to why it is pointing up like that, you can clearly see that it is using its index
finger pointing to the sky, while having a mischievous smile on its face.
And this is not the only ancient figure like this.
About 1700 miles away, there is a figure drawn on the Nazca desert, it is actually called
El Astronauta or The Astronaut which is doing the exact same thing.
Round eyes, and pointing to the sky.
It is in the neighboring country of Peru, and there are several mysterious figures like
this, called Nazca lines and you can only see them while you are flying from the air.
Did ancient astronauts visit our planet thousands of years ago?
Is this why we see carvings like La Chaquira?
Archeologists do not want to answer this question, but they also accept they do not know anything
about this carving.
Nobody knows why it has been called the Chaquira, but some locals say it is the God of the sky,
the god of thunder and lightning.
This is quite interesting because there is a Mayan God known as Chaac who is also the
god of thunder and lightning and there is a Hindu god known as Sakka, more popularly
known as Indra who is also the god of thunder and lighting.
Is this a mere coincidence, or are they all talking about the same God?
There are no other features on this carving so I can't give you more details on that.
But remember what I have told you in my other videos, usually, you will not find just one
isolated carving or cave painting or any type of archeological find.
You will find them in clusters.
So I began looking at other rocks to see if I could find more carvings.
I was disappointed I could not find a lot of them, but then, I noticed something quite
intriguing.
There is a strange carving directly behind La Chaquira.
This is probably the first time this carving has been revealed online, because when I googled
it, I could find absolutely nothing other than the la Chaquira carving.
Here we can see a face wearing a helmet which has protruding antennas.
Its other features are not clear, although it appears that it is also pointing up, to
the sky.
There is something very unique about this place, this is the only ancient site in Colombia
where we have 2d carved figures on rocks, as opposed to full 3d statues.
I have shown you plenty of full statues in Colombia in different videos, but here, we
can just see carvings on the rock face.
At a distance, I could also find another carving which looks like some kind of an animal.
This is probably a monkey or a bear.
It is not perfect, and it has seen thousands of years of corrosion.
This entire area must have hundreds of carvings hidden in the bushes and tall grass.
In fact, this entire valley must have thousands of carvings and statues, waiting to be found.
Why did ancient builders make these strange carvings and figures thousands of years ago?
More importantly, why did they leave them in places where it is nearly impossible to
access them?
What do you think?
Was la Chaquira an ancient astronaut who came down from the sky thousands of years ago?
If not, what else could it be?
