Ah, the Maree Man !
One can only wonder at the aborigines reactions when the aliens came down from the sky ... obviously the landlocked hume beans thought them of the bird world, and so gave the dirt drawing a bird's head.
Or were the aliens actually avian ?
Crows and the like are highly intelligent, no reason to think on other worlds they couldn't have evolved wings with opposable thumbs.
It must have been like Grand Central Station, in the outback of Australia back then, further up north you have the cave paintings of the aliens and they all have like balloon head ... or they could have had helmets on ... so maybe the Avains but with helmets because of the toxic air, here, hear, to them.
And so say all of us.
I need to go to South America and wherever it is in Europe, where the other artistic renditions of our visitors/overlords are situated.
Having lost faith in the 'bring 'em back from the dead ... change this water into wine' hypotenuse back when I was starting to reach puberty (and my analytical brain was developing) ... I need some form of all powerful deity to blame my discretions on, or at least seek forgiveness for.
If the off world alien visitors ARE of an avian DNA that would explain why a whole lot of UFOs, UAPs, and 'soghtings' are egg shaped.
Funnily enough, here in the antipodes, calling someone an egg is a mild insult, slightly below 'dick' in abusive effect ... one wonders if that came from the way we think about aliens and the way they sure-footedly travel millions of kilometres (they use metric ... obviously) ... millions of kilometres through the vacuum and blackness of space, then once they hit our 78% nitrogen atmosphere they need to have their headlights on to fly through our skies.
Also, the term egg-head comes from those of us peeps that have been chemically brain enhanced by the Avian overlords to be more intelligent ... if that's not proof of extraterrestrial life, I don't know what is.
There's nothing "avian" about the Marree man. Hes facing left, ready to throw a boomerang. What you see as a bill is his man-bun. And the Aboriginals aren't stupid- they know tractor work when they see it.
