Time to check the famous Nazca lines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazca_Lines

“The Nazca Lines /ˈnæzkɑː/ are a group of very large geoglyphs made in the soil of the Nazca Desert in southern Peru.[1] They were created between 500 BCE and 500 CE by people making depressions or shallow incisions in the desert floor, removing pebbles and leaving differently colored dirt exposed.”

>> Why these “shallow lines” weren’t blown away by wind/erosion (frost if there are some in the region)? I’m trying to understand this: if winds (supposedly) can erode the Giza pyramid complex stones, can it erode those “shallow” lines? Is there no wind in the region? Doesn’t wind blow the “dirt” away?

“Most lines run straight across the landscape, but there are also figurative designs of animals and plants. The individual figurative geoglyph designs measure between 0.4 and 1.1 km (.2 and .7 mi) across. The combined length of all the lines is over 1,300 km (800 mi), and the group cover an area of about 50 km2 (19 sq mi). The lines are typically 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in) deep. They were made by removing the top layer of reddish-brown iron oxide-coated pebbles to reveal a yellow-grey subsoil.[3][2] The width of the lines varies considerably, but over half are slightly over one-third meter (just over 1 foot) wide.[1][4] In some places they may be only 30.5 cm (1 ft) wide, and in others reach 1.8 m (6 feet) wide.”

>> Not much depths, isn’t it?

“Some of the Nazca lines form shapes that are best seen from the air (~500 m, 1,500 ft), though they are also visible from the surrounding foothills and other high places.[5][6][7] The shapes are usually made from one continuous line. The largest ones are about 370 m (1,200 ft) long.[8] Because of its isolation and the dry, windless, stable climate of the plateau, the lines have mostly been preserved naturally. Extremely rare changes in weather may temporarily alter the general designs. As of 2012, the lines are said to have been deteriorating because of an influx of squatters inhabiting the lands.”

>> So APPARENTLY there are not winds in the area to damage the geoglyphs but they got damaged from the influx of too much people.

“The figures vary in complexity. Hundreds are simple lines and geometric shapes; more than 70 are zoomorphic designs, including a hummingbird, spider, fish, condor, heron, monkey, lizard, dog, and a human. Other shapes include trees and flowers.[2] Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs, but in general, they ascribe religious significance to them. They were designated in 1994 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Location

The high, arid plateau stretches more than 80 km (50 mi) between the towns of Nazca and Palpa on the Pampas de Jumana, approximately 400 km (250 mi) south of Lima. The main PE-1S Panamericana Sur runs parallel to it. The main concentration of designs is in a 10 by 4 km (6 mi by 2 mi) rectangle, south of San Miguel de la Pascana hamlet. In this area, the most notable geoglyphs are visible.

Although some local geoglyphs resemble Paracas motifs, scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture.”

>> Their geographic proximity to the Palpa lines is astonishing, mostly that I haven’t seen anyone even in the alternative History trying to find the links between the two.

“History

The first published mention of the Nazca Lines was by Pedro Cieza de León in his book of 1553, and he described them as trail markers.

In 1586, Luis Monzón reported having seen ancient ruins in Peru, including the remains of "roads".

Although the lines were partially visible from nearby hills, the first to report them in the 20th century were Peruvian military and civilian pilots. […].

Paul Kosok, an American historian from Long Island University in New York, is credited as the first scholar to study the Nazca Lines in depth. While in Peru in 1940–41 to study ancient irrigation systems, he flew over the lines and realized that one was in the shape of a bird. Another chance observation helped him see how lines converged on the horizon at the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. He began to study how the lines might have been created, as well as to try to determine their purpose. He was joined by archaeologist Richard P. Schaedel from the United States, and Maria Reiche, a German mathematician and archaeologist from Lima, to try to determine the purpose of the Nazca Lines. They proposed that the figures were designed as astronomical markers on the horizon to show where the sun and other celestial bodies rose on significant dates. Archaeologists, historians, and mathematicians have all tried to determine the purpose of the lines.

Determining how they were made has been easier than determining why they were made. Scholars have theorized that the Nazca people could have used simple tools and surveying equipment to construct the lines. Archaeological surveys have found wooden stakes in the ground at the end of some lines, which supports this theory. One such stake was carbon-dated and was the basis for establishing the age of the design complex.”

>> Those wooden stakes are very interesting. I wonder if there are holes on the upper top section of these stakes? Wood is a perishable material, it’s rare for us to even find fragments of it, in most cases. I think anons should consider that these stakes weren’t the only persishable material on the site. If there are holes (or any other type of traces) on the upper end of these stakes, then something must have been attached to them as well. It’s just a possibility. I’m not expert in the matter. It’s a suggestion to anons studying this; just to check out and close all the loose ends while doing research. Because usually, when you place wooden stakes to take measurements on the ground or to start a project (in this case drawing the lines) you remove them after you’ve finished the work. So why weren’t those removed after the lines were drawn on the soil? Either they were part of the design, or they had some type of function. And the wooden stake MAY provide an explanation on how the straight lines were drawn, but what about the “curves and circles”?

I’ve tried to find a picture of these stakes, but wasn’t succesful; I wanted to see the upper end of them and if there are some traces of (mostly) perforation on that end. Also I wanted to see the bottom end if it’s pointy like a Dracula stake (if anons understand what I mean there ^_^). I’m stretching super far with what I’m going to say next = since the Nazca are famous for their textile, you think textiles were attached to these stakes? It’s super far fetched, I know. It’s important for us to get more information and a visual (from all angles) of these stakes before making up our minds about them.

“Joe Nickell, an American investigator of the paranormal, religious artifacts, and folk mysteries, reproduced the figures in the early 21st century by using the same tools and technology that would have been available to the Nazca people. In so doing, he refuted the 1969 hypothesis of Erich von Däniken,[17] who suggested that "ancient astronauts" had constructed these works. Scientific American characterized Nickell's work as "remarkable in its exactness" when compared to the existing lines. With careful planning and simple technologies, Nickell proved that a small team of people could recreate even the largest figures within days, without any aerial assistance.”

>> I’m not convinced of this anons. This is no easy work, it can be done on a small scale, but it needs aerial and even astronomical assitance to do something this BIG. It cannot be done in a blink like that. The best way to solve this is by experience = redo it ourselves to find out which theory is correct. Anons already know I don’t believe in Aliens nor do I support that theory. Please take a look at the lines from the ground, look closely to the semi circles = round shape. In this picture I’ve attached, we can see 4 of them. Aren’t they IDENTICAL. Can you draw in sand by hand 4 identical semi circular shapes, without the help of some “special” tool?
