THE UNEXPLAINED - NAZCA LINES

Look at these images. Seems to be a Photoshop work right? It’s not. These are ancient drawings found in the Nazca desert of Peru. Scholars believe these Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture between 400 and 650 AD. These lines are a series of complex designs, some miles long, which can only be seen in their true dimension from the sky. Hundreds are simple lines or geometric shapes; more than seventy are designs of animal, bird, fish or human figures. The largest figures are over 200 metres (660 ft) across. What is most striking about the surface features is the fact that the lines are amazingly straight. There are many questions as to how this was achieved as it is difficult even with today’s technology. Maybe extraterrestrial science was involved. Astonishingly, due to the dry, windless and stable climate of the plateau and its isolation, for the most part the lines have been preserved.


The Nazca culture is not believed to have been capable of flying, thus the question still remains as to how they crafted the drawings, what technology they used and what purpose the lines served
Ancient religion? Aliens from outer space? Ancient astronomers? A megalomaniacal artist? Water sources? Archeologists, have studied the ancient Nazca culture and the complex lines to try to determine the purpose of the lines and figures. One theory is that the Nazca people created them to be seen by their gods in the sky. Another says that it served as an Alien Landing station providing indications to them. Scientists argue that these lines were just created as symbols and wealth and prosperity. The lines lines were an offering for elders, heaven, and mountain deities who gave them water for their fields. They were means of pleasing Gods or just simple irrigation canals. Whatever maybe the reason of their formation, we know that they were drawn to serve a specific purpose and are still there UNEXPLAINED!!!
