My cousin was telling me about ancient civilizations who had wall carvings depicting aliens or astronauts, I think it was Babylon or Sumeria, how true is this?

There's already a thread discussing Ancient Aliens here.

I have seen a number of shows that show some ancient drawings which the producers say "must be" aliens. I don't believe it for a minute.
The most famous, I believe is an Aztec figure purporting to be an alien. 
or this Mayan example:  | |

It's all completely true. Aliens visited us and built all those ancient monuments. The voices in my head say so.
