Many ancient works of art contain mysteries about prehistoric human civilization and science. From frescoes in stone caves or works on paintings, people have discovered mysterious flying objects that look very similar to mysteriously depicted alien UFOs.
UFO (Unidentified flying object) along with aliens (alien, or ET), are terms often used to refer to life beyond Earth, on other planets in the universe.
These terms have only appeared and become popular among the masses since around the 50s of the last century. However, few people know that these concepts that are believed to only exist in modern times, if based on discovered documents, seem to have appeared a long time ago in ancient history – hundreds, even even thousands of years ago. Or in medieval works of art, flying objects that look a lot like UFOs, or alien flying saucers, are depicted
Mysterious medieval tapestries. A Notre Dame church was built around 1120-1149, in Eastern France, Cote d’Or, in the small town of Beaune (the wine capital of Burgundy). Inside the building, in addition to 15th-century frescoes, there is a library containing a collection of tapestries from the 15th to 18th centuries. Among them, an archaeologist discovered two medieval tapestries called “The Life of the Virgin Mary” and “Magnificat” (Magnificence). . These two tapestries are part of five important moments in the life of the Virgin Mary.

However, the mystery here is that in both carpets there is a depiction of an unidentified, blurry flying object in the sky.
The “Magnificat” tapestry was embroidered in 1330, but could alien UFOs have appeared at that time?

There are also many people who think that they are just priest’s hats. But this speculation is very illogical. If so, why do ecclesiastical hats fly alone in the sky? So another hypothesis could only be that, in historical periods, the artist had personal experiences or read mystical stories, so he depicted this strange object through drawing mat. Furthermore, UFO flying saucers cannot be confused with “priest’s hats”. Another good example is the “Summer Triumph” tapestry, which also depicts images of strange flying objects that appear in the summer. There is very little information about the “Summer Triumph” rug. All we know is that this tapestry was probably embroidered in Bruges, then put on display by an art dealer at the Bayerisches National Museum in Munich, Germany in 1971.
There is no clear information about the workshop, the designer, the patron or the circumstances of production.

In 1538, a painter began adding borders to the left and right sides of the carpet. On the upper border, there is an inscription in old Latin: REX GOSCI SIVE GUTSCMIN (roughly translated: King Gosci of Gutscmin). No one knows for sure whether this is a line hinting at the artist’s secret. Like other carpets, hidden in the background of this carpet is also a mysterious UFO appearing in the blue sky.
While the debate persists, what remains undeniable is the enduring fascination that these ancient enigmas hold for us today. Whether seen as a window into the cosmic curiosity of our forebears or a testament to the enduring allure of the extraterrestrial, the exploration of UFOs in ancient artifacts continues to inspire wonder and contemplation.
As we conclude this journey into the realms of antiquity, the mystery endures, beckoning us to peer through the veil of time and consider the possibility that, just like us, our ancestors may have looked to the skies with a mixture of awe and intrigue, pondering the existence of beings from realms beyond our earthly domain.
