That's a wonderful photo.  The lighting is so realistic, just like torchlight.   :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Are there more to follow?

(I forgot to mention the background ... It's very alive. Is it a miniature, or a picture?)

Very cool too! :)

Thanks for all the wonderful replies friends!! :wave: :wave: :) :)

The background is a ceramic souvenir from Mexico.  It looks like this:




If you turn it on its side, the guy kinda looks like he's riding a speeder bike, ala, Return of the Jedi.  This image is often associated with the whole "ancient astronaut" theory thing.

I have one too. Mine is made of a kind of resin.

It is quite a good copy of the lid of the sarcofagus of king Pakal, the famous ruler of Palenque.

He is descending down into the underground, into the jaws of the underworld god/beast (forgot the name).

Above him the mayan tree of life is depicted. It looks like a cross.

Von Daniken thought he was an astronaut.

Great pic by the way. Enjoyed it very much!!!
