A medieval tapestry depicting various objects in the sky resembling classic UFOs has piqued the curiosity of scientists.
In the year 1538 AD, a tapestry called “The Triumph of Summer” was created in the city of Brussels in Belgium, resembling a painting depicting the triumph of a ruler. Upon closer inspection, observers noticed many flying objects resembling classic UFOs in the upper corners of the tapestry.
The “Triumph of Summer Sky” tapestry is a poetic and vivid work, yet public attention is drawn to the flying objects resembling black-hooded hats, symbols unrelated to any medieval religion. So what could they signify?
Intentionally incorporating unidentified flying objects into this artwork could be seen as a political strategy. Associating UFOs with rulers affects the locals’ beliefs, hinting that these rulers hold power due to the intervention of divine forces. Historically, people believed that the unidentified flying objects they saw in the sky were divine phenomena, supernatural occurrences beyond human understanding.
Certainly, many believe that the black-hooded hat-shaped objects are not UFOs but merely peculiarly shaped dark clouds… This tapestry is housed in the Bavarian National Museum on loan from HypoVereinsbank AG. The museum has no further information about the tapestry’s history.
