One of the most amazing, inspiring museums a lot of people will (sadly) never get to visit is the National Museum Of Iraq in Baghdad.

It has collections that include art and artifacts from ancient Sumerian, Babylonian, Akkadian, Assyrian and Chaldean civilizations - collections that put the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Louvre to shame. And, despite being looted in 2003, it also has the Nimrud gold collection--which features gold jewelry and figures of precious stone that date to the 9th century BCE--and the collection of stone carvings and cuneiform tablets from Uruk that date back to 3500 and 3000 BCE.

Basically, there's some old, ancient shizz in there. And amongst the old, ancient art are some jars with some really weird, unexplained figures on them.

I found this guy (above), let's call him Xorx, on some pottery in a back room in the Museum. Due to some looting and the place being a general mess, the jar was marked "4000 - 6,000 BC" and they left it at that. Now, I know that artwork back then wasn't exactly realistic but, seriously, WTF? They drew what they knew - and this does not look human. I don't care what your Uncle Bubba says.

Let's look a closely at Xorx.

Large bulging eyes: Check.

Weird wiggly arms: Check.

No Hair: Check.

More than five fingers (or is that less?): Check.

No lips: Check.

Weird elongated body: Check.

Therefore, Xorx is an alien.

Okay, fine. I'm not nuts. Nor am I a faithful watcher of the (new) History Channel. I'm just saying there's some weird, unexplained art in the National Museum of Iraq in Baghdad.

Because, If this ain't proof of aliens, I don't know what is.
