Six fingers - statues

Oceania

This statue, more than two meters high, is from originally from Raivavae, Austral Islands in French Polynesia. It is now standing in front of the Paul Gaugin museum in Tahiti. It was moved here by men from the Marquesas Islands - none of Raivavae's own men dared to touch the sacred statue, because that would mean disease and bad luck. It has six fingers. Did it hold something in it's hands?

The large Tiki Takai on the island of Hiva Oa in the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia has six fingers. Norwegian Thor Heyerdahl and Swedish Bengt Danielson, both of the Kon-Tiki expedition, once lived here - and both wrote that many of the statues had six fingers. The statues can still be seen today, but already when Heyerdahl lived on Fatu Hiva in 1947 many of them were damaged.

Tangaroa is on of the most important Polynesian gods - the legends say that he separated heaven from the earth - some say he even created everything. The missionaries destroyed most of the statues of Tangaroa because he is always portrayed with a large penis. The wooden statue of the god Tangaroa is from Cook Islands. Tangaroa is said to have six fingers.

Not a statue, but footprints - on Tarawa, the mail atoll of Kiribati. I found footprints after a giant, his wife and children in a schoolyard in the village Banreaba. They all had six toes. Erik Von Däniken found one untouched 5,3 meter long grave in Kiribati, where a giant is said to buried, but were unable to examine it. The people are very afraid of ghosts.

The statues on the Eastern Island (Rapa Nui) are perhaps most famous for their gigantic size, but did you know quite a few of the statues have six fingers? The Norwegian archaeological expedition in 1956/57 lead by Thor Heyerdahl made a notice of this. but Heyerdahl chose regard this as unimportant - was he wrong?

South America

The statue in the picture is from San Augustin in Peru, where Thor Heyerdahl to his surprise found statues that looked very much the same as the ones had had seen on Eastern Island and Marquesas islands. Some had six fingers too! And they look noticeable like many of the ones you can find in the ancient cities of Mexico and other places in Central America.

Central America

Kukulkan is a major deity of the ancient Central America, and many claim he must be the same as Viracocha, the Inca god of South America. Well, in the ancient temples of Mexico he is also connected to Pacal Votan. His son was Chan Balan, and everywhere Chan Balan is depicted in the carvings at Palenque, he has six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot.

North America

The Hopi Indians of North America claim that they originally came from a now disappeared land in the Pacific, but that they had to flee when the sea started to rise. Their legends are telling that their gods helped them to cross the ocean - that they first landed in South America and then moved north. One of them was the Sky- Kachina. As the other gods she could fly - and she had six fingers!

Not a statue, but: At Three Rivers in New Mexico you can find quite a lot of very interesting old petroglyphs. Several of them are showing hands with six fingers. The one in the picture seems to be reaching toward the sky, with a wavy design over it. Can it be a snake/flying serpent or the Milky Way?

Ok, ok - not a statue. But the film from what many say is of an autopsy of aliens from a UFO-crash in Rosswell shows six fingers. And there were supposedly found devices, where the UFO-crew put their six fingered hands. Click on the picture to see them!

Europe

This relief on a temple in Esna, Egypt, is showing a man or a god or a pharaoe holding something in his left hand. Might be it would be interesting to know what he is holding or what he is doing or who he was, but anyway: Take a closer look at the hand. Yes - six fingers!

This statue from Kiev in Russia is supposed to be 4000 years old. Some say he is an alien a kind of space-suit. I don't know, - and I am not hundered percent sure his has six fingers either, since I have not studied the statue. But if you try to hold your arms/hands like him, then the tumbs will be on the backside of your leg. He is showing fiver fingers.

Goliath, the famous giant slain by the later king David, was about 12 feet (3,66 meters) tall. He was one of the last giants, the Anakim. These giants were the offspings of the sons of God and the daughters of men, as citied in Genesis 6:4. Also Goliath, according to the Bible, he had six fingers and six toes.

The sumerian culture might be the oldest in the world - where sivilisation was born. You can still find sumerian statues and encarvings showing their gods - with six fingers. Their gods taught them everything - even mathematics based on the six digits system. No wonder - since they had six fingers! The sumerian believed that their gods came from stars - the Pleiads.
