The Palenque Astronaut!
You look at what is happening on the Palenque Sarcophagus lid... It's supposed to be a relief depicting the afterlife for King Pakal. It shows him combining with the world tree so he can ascend to heaven. I think that the Mayans once had the same stories depicting space journeys as ancient India and the technological memories of that have combined with the mythological imagery of the World Tree. It doesn't have to be 'either' but could be 'both'.
