CuCulaine Posted April 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2022 The Nazca lines I think haven't been fully examined of them ! They need to run inferred scans, metal detector scan and ground penetrating radar, rather than accepting the window dressing. What is burried underneath the lines ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoroughly. Maybe you should start reading this booklet: https://www.amazon.com/Nazca-Lines-Perspective-Origin-Meaning/dp/8489291179 And if you're lucky, it's still online as a downloadable pdf. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What investigation that have been done show that the Nazca lines are the result of moving stones off the surface to make patterns there are a number of theories as to what they are suppose to show. Given the people who made them left no writing behind makes any theory about what they 'mean', moot. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/antiquity/article/abs/new-evidence-for-the-date-of-the-nazca-lines/2643441F81DED2947A0E61DB2730B185 https://ehrafarchaeology.yale.edu/ehrafa/citation.do?method=citation&forward=browseCulturesFullContext&col=collection('/eHRAF/archaeology/SouthAmer/SE51')&docId=se51-010&tocOffsetId=tocPubInfoP Quote bstract: The author makes a case that the site of Cahuachi was a sacred place or a pilgrimage site, and that the geoglyphs or Nazca lines on the adjacent plain can be directly associated with it. Findings from excavations at Cahuachi are presented first, most pertaining to the middle Nazca phases (circa AD 1-600). The site contains only minor domestic remains and there are large open areas between the multiple mounds that are modifications of existing hill. Expectations for what a pilgrimage site ought to look like, archaeologically, are developed through study of the modern pilgrimage destination of Yauca del Rosario in the Ica Valley, consisting of little more than a church and plaza. Prior to the annual festival people come to sweep the plaza clean. The day before the festival the area fills up with pilgrims, and there is a market that continues the day of the festival. Afterward the area empties out again. The site is not cleaned immediately, and refuse is blown about by the winds; three months later the festival area is largely devoid of surface refuse. This is compared to the pattern of material remains at Cahuachi, along with comparisons to the coastal pilgrimage site of Pachacamac near Lima that reached its peak in subsequent pre-Columbian periods, and to early historical accounts of Andean pilgrimages. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jethrofloyd Posted April 22, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 22, 2022 It is commonly accepted that these lines were meant to be seen from above. Humans have always craved some kind of contact with the heavens. The Nazca lines were probably an attempt to communicate with the gods up above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be seen from above, by walking up on hills where you can see them. Whether or not the gods are up there on top of those hills, I guess someone could walk up there and get them on camera.

Well, the most important thing to know is: they needed no aliens to construct those lines. Just in case some moron starts posting Erich von Däniken's fever dreams.

You're Canadian, right? Most USAns consider you lot as quite 'alien'. I - as the European that I am - always wondered about that sub-cutaneous hostility between people who are twins in my European eyes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rob Have had some call me a Northern Mexican when I was on their side of the border but when they are up here on my side of the border they are somewhat more civil. I have never identified as American to me that infers that I am a US citizen or sub-set of and not uniquely Canadian. For the most part we are all the same no matter where we live, same personality types, religious influence, politics, crime exists in every culture and country on the planet and most people want to live in peace as long as they can get a piece of something. A lot of Americans think we are socialists when we have pretty much the same system and just use it differently. We do not have the population base for consumers in this country for such a vast and resource rich land area like the US does and when considering the infrastructure like roads and rail we had to invest in ourselves differently to achieve those ends. I knew people from 3rd world countries that had indoor plumbing before I did. Now that we have the immigration that we do our country will expand and is evolving culturally.. I am thankful that our election campaigning and elections are short and not as dramatic as my neighbors. Edited April 23, 2022 by jmccr8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
