Content is published claiming that a statue has been found in a church built in the 1600s.
The image showing a man in an astronaut suit was posted on TikTok on June 3, by the account named "fakte.konspirative".
The truth?
Hibrid.info has found that these astronaut statues exist in a cathedral in Spain and were carved in 1992.
Link to the image published on TikTok by the account "fakte.konspirative":
After research by hibrid.info using the automated search program "InVID", it was found that the astronaut statues are carved in a cathedral in Spain named "Catedral Nueva", built in the 16th century.
Based on the articles found, hibrid.info has understood that the carved statues were included in the cathedral building in 1992 (see here and here).
Hibrid.info has also searched and found articles that tell the history of astronaut suits, showing that they were originally designed and used during the 20th century (see here and here).
Which rules out the possibility of building statues of astronauts in such suits before this period.
Analyze:
The claim about astronaut statues carved into a cathedral, which is said to have occurred in the 16th century, is untrue.
Hibrid.info has confirmed that the carved statues were added to the over 500-year-old cathedral in 1992.
Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info assesses this content as "Conspiracy Theory".
Reasoning:
"Conspiracy theories" are media reports that disseminate a false or unverifiable description of a phenomenon, event, or person, presenting it as part of or the result of a secret plan ("conspiracy"). A characteristic of these reports is that they present a series of claims, presented as facts, between which cause-effect relationships are established, without providing any credible evidence.
