10 Real Things That Prove Doctor Who Exists

9. The TARDIS In Utah

Imagine living thousands of years ago, and stumbling across a piece of technology that is infinitely more advanced than anything you can even comprehend.

It would completely and utterly blow your mind – just ask old Caecilius!

That leads us to this curious image, which depicts a cave painting where people can be seen worshipping something that looks suspiciously like the TARDIS.

Horseshoe Canyon is an area of Utah in the United States known for its ancient pictographs. These pictures show people standing around a large box-like structure with what appears to be a light on top, congregating around it as if they're in awe.

Clearly, one of the Doctors took a trip back to ancient times and made quite the impression on the locals. The people the Doctor leaves behind never forget their encounters – see Lorna Bucket joining the military just to get the chance to meet him again – and a TARDIS would no doubt be something these primitive folk would memorialize.

We should of course mention that the Doctor does visit Utah in the Series 6 premiere, along with Amy, Rory, and River. Perhaps some unexplained force was drawing him back to a location he'd previously visited?

It's probably a coincidence, but what if it's not?
