I've been watching too many ancient aliens episodes and while i have no belief in what they are talking about, the entire idea has always been interesting. Their conclusions jump quite a distance from the evidence in my opinion. For example, the fact that you can see certain designs from the air does NOT mean that that is how they were intended to be viewed, or even more, that they were meant for aliens to find as "markers" for where to land. I believe that primitive man was just as creative and intelligent as we are today, they just weren't as advanced in an industrial sense. Think about it, even up to 1900s, electricity was something for the rich, cars didn't really exist, and cocaine and heroin were prescribed for anything from a simple cold to cancer. The fact that we have become as advanced technologically as we are today in such a small amount of time tells me that we, as a species, have always had this ingenuity, it simply took the discovery of steel, oil and electricity to jump start where we are today. With that in mind, I believe it is completely possible that primitive man found ways to complete the gigantic structures we find throughout the world, they just used creativity and engineering to use what they had around them. The fact that we don't know how they did it does not at all mean that they couldn't.
My most recent painting "Battle of Fathers Over The Black Mountain (The Turquoise Ships)" is taken from the proposed idea that battles between aliens took place over the Earth in the distant past, but even more, that there was something that struck ancient man enough that they turned it into myth and passed it through the centuries. The painting can read like a sci-fi story, a myth, a morality tale, a natural phenomenon, or a message from gods. It's interpretation is what gives it meaning and I suppose that's how I want it. Much like a cave painting, it's the story that you make it
