More Evidence For The Ancient Mickey Mouse Theory

There is no actual Theory Of Ancient Mickey Mouse, I just made it up. But maybe there is something in such absurdity. Can this really be just a coincidence?

First, an ancient statue thousands of years old is unearthed:



























And now NASA reveals a 'natural' feature on the surface of Mecury that seems very familiar indeed.
























I will explore the Ancient Mickey Mouse Theory further as more evidence comes to hand. Perhaps Walt Disney himself was "one of them."

If this was the 1970s, I could write a book about Ancient Mickey Theory and make a bundle. But not now. Damn internet with its fast and easy fact-checking. Spoilsports.

Stone Age Mickey



An American named Walt Disney didn't invent the iconic big-eared, huge smile face known as Mickey Mouse. It was a French artist, who lived more than 1000 years ago.

Well, Walt Disney did come up with the original design of Mickey Mouse. The brooch shown above was unearthed decades after Mickey appeared on cinema, and TV, screens.

It's a remarkable coincidence, however.

From the Discovery Channel :
One thousand years before the cartoon character Mickey Mouse was even a glint in Walt Disney's eye, a French artist created a bronze brooch that looks remarkably like the famous rodent, according to archaeologists at Sweden's Lund Historical Museum, which houses the recent find.

The object, dated to 900 A..D., was excavated at a site called UppÄkra in southern Sweden.

Although made of bronze, the brooch ornament likely adorned the clothing of an Iron Age woman.

The bronze brooch may remind modern viewers of Mickey Mouse, but archaeologist Jerry Rosengren from Lund University told Discovery News that it actually represents a lion.
