Brad, forgive me, but most of your arguments just don't follow.
I've gone all over the world and studied many things to include cave
art. My favorite was in Nairobi, Kenya, where I visited the National
Museum. They had just opened an extensive cave art exhibit from
nearby excavations, some of which dated back to the early hominids. I
was rather astonished at first to see what looked like a "spaceman"
drawn on the cave wall right up there with the animals. Turns out it
was a depiction of a Moon god (or goddess) - what I thought at first
was a spacesuit helmet was actually the round disk of the Moon.
There is geological evidence that shows that the tidal tensions
brought about by the Earth-Moon orbital relationship have been around
for millions of years. Study geology. There is where you will find
your early evidence of our sister planet, Selene.
