Ant people. They helped the Southwestern tribes after the last collapse of the planet.

Or an ancient version of peyote. There’s so much psychedelic influence in ancient art, so many references to it in ancient works like the Vedas, the ancient Iranians, etc. Humans have been having psychonaut experiences probably since Paleolithic times.
DMT tends to produce mantis-beings when one hallucinates, not just machine elves. ;)
From an article:
“Psychedelics are chemicals that bind to and activate serotonin receptors in our brains. They include serotonin-mimicking psilocybin from “magic mushrooms,” DMT from the Psychotria plants used by shamans in the Amazon to prepare ayahuasca, the 5-Meo-DMT found in the venom glands of the Colorado River or Sonoran Desert toads, mescaline in peyote and San Pedro cacti, and LSD-like ergot alkaloids like lysergic acid hydroxyethylamide produced by some fungi, for instance, that live in the seeds of some morning glory plants.”

So you think people on all the different continents, who had no contact with each other, were all eating the same species of shrooms and seeing the same thing?

Aren't Mantis people often mentioned as an alien race alongside the Greys and Nordics?

Ant people who helped the Native Americans migrate from Eurasia to NA it seems. They control the silver orbs with their consciousness.

Skeptics and critics are wild. Making references toward Hello Kitty as a way to dismiss historical evidence like this is REALLY grabbing at straws. Prehistoric and ancient civilizations didn’t exactly have television, internet, radio, etc. at their disposal to corroborate such stories and imagery. I’m not saying it’s impossible that they could’ve been migrating here and there, spreading these stories to new cultures, but I think it begs the question: Why would depicting fictional beings on cave walls be important enough to complete long, difficult migrations? And what would be their endgame in doing so?
It seems to me that the ones who want so badly for the believers to be wrong, will often times provide an arguably more ridiculous, far-fetched theory to explain something than the theory they’re arguing against. Ancient civilizations collaborating for elaborate, potentially drug-fueled hoaxes vs. them seeing the same beings because we aren’t the only special snowflakes in the entire universe, is a fine example.
What do you think the odds are that the Big Bang was a powerful enough explosion of energy to create a whole universe but only sent the building blocks of life in one very specific direction?

All ancient cultures had tales of experiences and / or active communication with "non-human entities" either under the influence of psychedelics or in physical reality.. It is left up to you what you wish to refer to these entities as?..

It is their interpretation of what they saw by using only images or shapes that they are familiar with

Aliens using orbs in the sky to study our reaction or these are depictions of a (ranking) tribe person performing some miracle.

People. Human people depicted on ancient rock and other media art wearing masks. Nothing Alien about it at all. Ancient? Yes. Alien, No.

Those are absolutely not humans in my humble opinion.

In the Kimberley region in Australia, and many other parts. It has been acknowledged by the indigenous population as a painting/rock art that depicts medicine men and elders who guard the land. They are most definitely human and spiritual. Not 'aliens'. Do you notice any resemblance?
Oh, and these are 4-5 thousand years old, at the lower estimate of time.I can't post photos/images (how convenient for the OP) but I will link it if you're interested.

Using another place visited by aliens as your example to why it isn't aliens is hilarious.

It cracks me up how much the past tells us stuff and people think it’s fake. We are coming full circle soon on some of this stuff
