Anunnaki space rocket original oil painting on canvas 88×70 cm. Shipping in a roll.
I have often thought long about the shape of ancient aliens rockets that you can see on the Sumerian tablets. I wanted to draw everything right and I had a lot of doubts. Eventually I got fed up with it and downloaded a simple but realistic space flight simulator to my phone to reproduce the Anunnaki rocket. It turned out that such a form expanding to the bottom is very practical. This is the best way to take a heavy fuel-filled rocket to a planet like Earth and then fly it in space. Here you see an upper stage (what it looked like is unknown as well as the launcher that took it into space), which delivers a rocket to Earth. Then it separates and rocket enters the atmosphere braking with a heat shield that closes the bottom. The rocket is very heavy because of fuel and cannot fall horizontally for braking like a space shuttle or starship, so it must have an extension at the bottom like a usual landing capsules. And the top also has a heat shield to stabilize the fall. Then the bottom heat shield is separated, parachutes are released and a small part of the fuel is consumed for a soft landing. After that, the rocket launches again and launches a small spacecraft into orbit, which will take the astronauts home.
