For as long as anyone can remember, galactic disks and flying saucers have stirred theories and fueled conspiracies. Beyond the countless reported sightings throughout the years, there are also curious depictions of these mysterious objects etched into ancient ruins and artifacts around the world.
One such object stands out among them—the fascinating and mysterious artifact housed in Peru’s Metropolitan Museum. Despite considerable efforts by researchers and curious minds alike, the true origin and purpose of this artifact remain unknown. It’s simply called the “Galactic Disk.”
A quick glance at the object makes it easy to understand the name. Its shape and design bear a remarkable resemblance to the spiral structure of our very own galaxy, the Milky Way.
To this day, there is no definitive explanation for what this disk represents. But if it truly is a model of the Milky Way, the implications would be profound. It would force us to completely rethink what ancient civilizations knew about the cosmos. Even more astonishing is the presence of what appears to be a specific marker on the disk—suggesting the position of Earth within the galaxy.
Could this be an incredible coincidence? Or is it possible that the disk accurately represents Earth’s location in the Milky Way as it was thousands of years ago?
Some theories go in a different direction, but are no less extraordinary. One hypothesis claims the disk is actually a depiction of a UFO—created by an ancient civilization that had contact with beings from beyond our planet.
According to this belief, the artifact could have originated from ancient India, and the old legends of “gods descending from the sky” might actually be references to extraterrestrial visitors arriving in flying crafts.
For now, no theory can be proven with certainty. But one thing is clear: uncovering the truth behind the Galactic Disk could forever change our understanding of ancient humanity—and possibly our place in the universe.
