Fishes! Monkeys! Spidaas


Wiki - The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert of Peru. They have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The high, arid plateau stretches more than 80 kilometres (50 mi) between the towns of Nazca and Palpa on the Pampas de Jumana. Although some local geoglyphs resemble Paracas motifs, scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture between 200 BCE and 700 CE. The hundreds of individual figures range in complexity from simple lines to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks or orcas, llamas, and lizards.

Swiss author Erich von Däniken suggests the Nazca lines and other complex constructions represent higher technological knowledge than he believes existed when the glyphs were created. Von Däniken maintains that the Nazca lines in Peru are runways of an ancient airfield that served beings from another culture. Von Däniken's claims, however, are not substantiated by any archaeological evidence and are not supported by scholars. His work is noteable for its extensive collection of aerial photographs.



Wow. Fishes? Monkeys? Spiders? All drawn out in the sand, this seems like some interesting stuff. This von Daniken character seems to know whats up. You don't get to be a pro on this shit until you've asked some serious questions.
