The image on the left, as in the caption, is a photograph of one of the items in the collection of Ecuadorian monk Father Carlo Crespi. Crespi was known regionally as a bit of a loony collector who maintained an ever-increasing pile of "relics." It began as a collection of local artifacts, but quickly turned into a pile of tourist junk. He became known to the rest of the world when Erich von Daniken described Crespi's collection as evidence for ancient aliens/an ancient hyper-advanced civilization from all others developed. Von Daniken was enamored with the relics with images of Eurasian civs, called them gold plates thousands of years old, and published them in his book Gold of the Gods. Never mind that:

• Crespi probably had dementia, and all the local people knew told reporters afterwards that he was just hawking cheap crap.

• Other European travelers who had seen Crespi's collection before remarked on how obviously fake it was.

• Most of Crespi's items were not gold, but cheap alloys- a fact von Daniken retroactively acknowledges.

• The tools and starting images to produce these plates were found within Crespi's village.

There's absolutely zero reasons to believe that the object pictures is anything but a modern replica.
