Ahhh! Yes, but in 1102? Maybe somebody remember the future in the Medium Age. :lol:

[gwzd]

Impressive!
But, how do we know it wasn't put there later on? Do you have a bit more info on the source of the presentation?
Anyway, thank you for the link Esteban.
Muchas Gracias!

Found on the net:

"Mike Mc Says:
When restoring old carvings it is customary to include an object which would have been unknown when the original carving was done. It dates the restoration and adds to the history"
And

"It's from a restoration done in 1992."

Regards,
Fred.

[Esteban]

Very extrange method (for me) for to date the restoration! :lol:

[Fred]

Yes, but in a few centuries it will probably not look so strange.
It will be all "prehistoric" stuff :lol:

In the pictures it was clear that part of the carving was from another date , different colour.Too bad, was a great story.;)

You can find plenty of stuff if you search at "salamanca 1102 cathedral astronaut"

Regards,
Fred.

Yes, entertaining though!
I found even this:
It's from 1992/93, and other "masterpieces" of the era include a demon/monkey eating ice cream.

My suggestion for some future restoration: a man detecting with a White's!!! :lol:

[Fred]

Maybe in a far future,they will carve a man detecting with a LRL ?? :razz:

The figure at the Salamanca's Cathedral is not an astronaut.

It's actually a representation of one of the chrononauts lost in time due to a NSA (National Security Agency) Project from the late 80's which malfunctioned and had terrible results. Many did not come back.

Don't ask me how I know this, because I won't tell.
Truth sometimes is terrifying.

You know because YOU came back.:lol:
Right?

Fred.

[hung]

Almost correct.
I worked on a similar project and one of these men made contact.
He sounded out of air. Locked in the time space continuum forever.. The vortex curved and many got lost.
Poor fellas..

I know who's "lost", and it's not a chrononaut. :lol:

[hung]

This is a very rare picture I obtained from the lost chrononaut. He seems to be signaling only ten seconds or air left.
It was smuggled from the NSA archives and I had to pay a lot of money for it.
You will enjoy it for free...

[Fred]

Too bad he didn´t thought of removing his helmet to take some fresh air.
But maybe it was 10 minutes? :D

El astronauta se puede ver en la puerta de Ramos (norte) de la Catedral nueva, en la parte que da a la Plaza de Anaya, esculpida en el lado izquierdo. Sin lugar a dudas un curioso elemento más de la historia salmantina.


La historia de este astronauta se remonta al momento en que Salamanca acogió las Edades del Hombre en el año 1993, y por tanto se decidió restaurar la Puerta de Ramos, muy deteriorada por el paso del tiempo. El nombre completo de la exposición era: “Las Edades del Hombre. El contrapunto y su mirada”, y por tanto, los canteros decidieron dar su propio contrapunto en la restauración de este Portal, y es por eso que aparece un astronauta, simbolo de la modernidad.

No me gusta este tipo de AGREGADOS en los edificios antiguos. Es como si un paleontólogo le adicionara a un dinosaurio totalmente armado una cámara filmadora, por ejemplo.

I do not like this type of ATTACHÉS in the ancient buildings. It is as if a paleontologist was adding to a totally armed dinosaur a film camera, for example.:angry:

Carlos, do you mind to tell us in English?
Carlos, esto es un foro leido por personas de varios paises que probablemente no entienden lo que habeis escrito. Seria muy provechoso si pudieses escribir en ingles o por lo menos en ambos idiomas.

For the non Spanish speakers:
Carlos, this forum is read by people from different countries who probably don't understand what you have written. It would be very useful if you could post in English or at least in both languages.

Saludos

Now seriously.
With all jokes apart, I believe the Salamanca's Cathedral figure has nothing to do with any restoration and it was not planted there in recent times.

About the chrononaut. It's true. NSA had this project in the late 80's, early 90's. Dig a little and you will know about this. Yes, I had a project based in the time-space continuum in mid 90's. Results? Terrifying.
I won't coment on this here since this is not the place to do it. But yet not do it anytime. This is no bul this is true.
It's safer being a THunter.:D

Here you can find some evidences on why the Salamanca's case is not a hoax.
In fact, truth is so simple and honest. It's always in front of our eyes. Always. But unfortunately many refuse to see it...
