Hidden in Plain Sand

In a seemingly ordinary Egyptian desert scene, the pyramids and the Sphinx rise above the sand as a man leads his camels in the background. But beneath the surface, the cartoon unveils a startling twist: the pyramids are merely the tips of gargantuan statues depicting alien-like figures, hinting at an advanced civilization predating humanity. A playful nod to the ancient alien theories popularized by Erich von Däniken, the illustration explores ideas of “hidden in plain sight,” “the tip of the iceberg,” and conspiracy theories, all while poking fun at humanity’s fascination with the unknown.
