5Dogu
Dogu are small humanoid figurines created in prehistoric Japan. The unusual appearance of the Dogu has been claimed to resemble some sort of space suit, supposedly complete with goggles, armor and hoses. Adding to the mystery, their exact purpose remains unclear to historians. Ancient Astronaut proponents tend to ignore the fact that the “goggle-eyed type” figures are only one of many types of Dogu, and that archaeologists have pointed out the similarity of the figure’s eyes with Inuit snow goggles. They are seldom discovered intact, with limbs having been cut or broken off. This with the exaggerated hips, buttocks, and breasts depicted suggest a possible usage in fertility rituals.
5 土偶
土偶是史前日本制造的人型小泥塑。有人聲稱土偶不同尋常的外觀類似某種太空服,可以想像護(hù)目鏡、盔甲和呼吸管均已配齊。歷史學(xué)家仍然不清楚土偶的具體用途,這增添了它的神秘感。古代宇航員理論的支持者很容易忽視下面的事實(shí):“護(hù)目鏡式”形象僅僅只是許多類土偶中的一類,且考古學(xué)家已指出過(guò)土偶眼睛與因紐特雪地護(hù)目鏡類似。此類土偶發(fā)現(xiàn)時(shí)很少有完整的,四肢要么被切掉要么破損。對(duì)髖部、臀部及乳房的夸張表現(xiàn)表明,這種土偶很可能用于有關(guān)生育的宗教儀式中。
