George Michanowsky (Russian: Гео́ргий Ильи́ч Михано́вский; 1920 – 1993) is known for his interpretation of rock art in Bolivia and Mesopotamian artifacts which he interpreted as referring to a supernova explosion in the Vela constellation which he dated to about 6000 years ago. He is described by Kenn Harper as having “claimed to be a self-taught archaeologist, linguist, Egyptologist, epigrapher, and expert in Mesopotamian astronomy.
