Mystery Astronaut Carving in Salamanca, Spain

Astronaut detail, Ieronimus Cathedral

Inside the splendid Ieronimus Cathedral, built by Episcope de Salamanca in 1102 A.D., among the fascinating carvings of mythical animals and saints, we find… NASA Astronaut. Maybe they entered some time portal while on the Moon, and ended up scaring medieval builders in Spain? Probably just a modern addition by the mischievous restoration team.

    Well, one of the few people who own a blog and give credit for the materials they don’t own.

    Thanks!
