“Preservation and environmental concerns

People trying to preserve the Nazca Lines are concerned about threats of pollution and erosion caused by deforestation in the region.

The Lines themselves are superficial, they are only 10 to 30 cm (4 to 12 in) deep and could be washed away… Nazca has only ever received a small amount of rain. But now there are great changes to the weather all over the world. The Lines cannot resist heavy rain without being damaged.

— Viktoria Nikitzki of the Maria Reiche Centre

After flooding and mudslides in the area in mid-February 2007, Mario Olaechea Aquije, archaeological resident from Peru's National Institute of Culture, and a team of specialists surveyed the area. He said, "[T]he mudslides and heavy rains did not appear to have caused any significant damage to the Nazca Lines". He noted that the nearby Southern Pan-American Highway did suffer damage, and "the damage done to the roads should serve as a reminder to just how fragile these figures are.”

In 2012, squatters occupied land in the area, damaging a Nazca-era cemetery and allowing their pigs to have access to some of the land.

In 2013, machinery used in a limestone quarry was reported to have destroyed a small section of a line, and caused damage to another.

In December 2014, Greenpeace activists irreparably damaged the Nazca Lines while setting up a banner within the lines of one of the famed geoglyphs. The activists damaged an area around the hummingbird by grinding rocks into the sandy soil. Access to the area around the lines is strictly prohibited[42][43] and special shoes must be worn to avoid damaging the UN World Heritage site. Greenpeace claimed the activists were "absolutely careful to protect the Nazca lines".[44] This is contradicted by video and photographs showing the activists wearing conventional shoes (i.e. not special protective shoes) while walking on the site.[45][46] Greenpeace has apologized to the Peruvian people,[47] but Luis Jaime Castillo, Peru's vice minister of cultural heritage, called the apology "a joke", because Greenpeace initially refused to identify the vandals or accept responsibility.[48] Culture Minister Diana Alvarez-Calderon said that evidence gathered during an investigation by the government would be used as part of a legal suit against Greenpeace. "The damage done is irreparable and the apologies offered by the environmental group aren't enough," she said at a news conference.[42] Facing increasing pressure, Greenpeace later released the identities of four of the activists involved.[49] One of the activists, Wolfgang Sadik, was eventually fined and given a suspended prison sentence for his role in the incident.”

“The Greenpeace incident also directed attention to other damage to geoglyphs outside of the World Heritage area caused in 2012 and 2013 by off-road vehicles of the Dakar Rally,[51] which is visible from satellite imagery.

In January 2018, an errant truck driver was arrested but later released for lack of evidence indicating any intent other than a simple error. He had damaged three of the geoglyphs by leaving substantial tire marks across an area of approximately 46 m by 107 m (150 by 350 feet).”

>> How many times did they flip-flop in this Wikipedia page about the erosion: there is some, there isn’t some. Make up your mind about it!

For those whom are interested in researching Greenpeace: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenpeace

I couldn’t find it, but whom you think funnels money to Greenpeace anons? It’s an NGO, so I think anons researching such things should take a look at this.

For an organisation that is supposedly there to “take care” of the environement, they sure are brutal to cultural treasures. Their behavior towards the Nazca lines and trying to deny and skid from the responsibility; the lack of respect they showed to one of Peru’s greatest cultural treasures……what do you think anons? Is the damage DONE on purpose or was it truly accidental? Their behavior is making me doubt their intentions.

It’s obvious the Peruvian government should take stricter and better measures to protect the lines. Maybe they lack of funds to do it; but they truly need to be super strict and serious measures regarding the lines.

“Palpas glyphs

The Paracas culture is considered by some historians to be the possible precursor that influenced the development of the Nazca Lines. In 2018, drones used by archaeologists revealed 25 geoglyphs in the Palpa province that are being assigned to the Paracas culture. Many predate the associated Nazca lines by a thousand years. Some demonstrate a significant difference in the subjects and locations, such as some being on hillsides.[54] Their co-discoverer, Peruvian archaeologist Luis Jaime Castillo Butters, indicates that many of these newly discovered geoglyphs represent warriors.[55] The Paracas is the same group which some believe created the well-known geoglyph known as the Paracas Candelabra.”

>> We’ve already seen them, so I’m not going there a second time.

“Chinchas glyphs

Further north from the Nazca, Palpas region and along the Peruvian coast are other glyphs from the Chincha culture that have also been discovered.”

>> One of the geoglyphs I’ve put the picture of is called the flower geoglyph. That’s a really beautiful one. I think yes, it can be representing a flower, something like a daisy. I don’t know about you anons, but when my grandkids draw a flower, they also like to draw a leaf as well with it. So I’m wondering, if there is a second interpretation to this geoglyph, like the possibility it might be a wind turbine or a wind wheel? Yup! The old man is stretching his imagination. Why did I go there? Well, we know (((they))) have been reverse engineering old, ancient, and forgotten technology. So why not this one as well? Why couldn’t this one be part of that list of techs (((they))) reverse engineered? Is it possible? Yes it is. So don’t rule this one out. It’s a possibility, not a certainty. Also anons, I’ve just put a small sample of the geoglyphs as pictures, I’m not going there myself. I will remain in the Main Pipe.
