“The purpose of the lines continues to be debated. Some researchers theorize they were created for the gods to look upon them from above, while others suggest they were some sort of calendar with astronomical alignments that would aid in planting and harvesting of crops. Others have thought the lines were the pathways for important ceremonial processions.[15] The lines have been studied by experts from several disciplines. Anthropologists, archaeologists, and astronomers have all studied the lines,[1] but have not found conclusive evidence for any of the theories as to purpose.”

“Trephination and cranial manipulation

Trephination was a primitive skull surgery used by the Nazca that relieved pressure on the brain from battle wounds or for ritual purposes. It entails the removal of one or more sections of bone from the skull (while the person is still alive). Evidence of trephination has been seen through the analysis of excavated skulls. Some of the skulls show signs of healing, evidence that the person had survived the operation.”

>> This is quite different from the narrative put above in this Wikipedia page, isn’t it? So now it has a surgical connotation to it not sacrificial, since there are “healing” traces on the bones. I think this is a sign on advanced medical, surgical knowledge, but since they lack “modern surgical” tools, like the ones we have nowadays, this is the best the doctors could achieve. Just imagime you breaking a leg while you are hicking, and you stay stranded for 2 days on the mountains. So what will you do with no modern medical tools as cast and aircast boots? You will probably bandage roughly while trying to stabilize your bone with 2 pieces of wood picked up on the mountain, like tree branches or anything alike. This is how things happen when you don’t have modern tools to get yourself treated. So in able to perform such perforation to the skull and LIVE, survive it…..do you realize what this means anons? It means that the medicine was advanced enough for them to KNOW this will ease pressure from the brain, as well as they knew the human anatomy. It’s not like the Ancient Egyptians whom used to think that the heart is the center, the principal, main organ…..while they used to throw the brain away as if it’s totally “unneccessary” during the mumification process. So in other words, the Nazca doctors used to know about the brain and its role, at least partially if not fully. This is sign of advanced biological and medical knowledge anons, there is nothing primitive about it….what I can qualify as primitive is the method used, and I can attribute the cause of it to the lack of medical surgical tools. Can a doctor or a surgeon perform a full blown surgery without their current tools, machines and surgery room? This is a very interesting field for anons to dig into. They should not just compare to Ancient civilizations medical levels, but also they can push it to the Medieval period as well.

“Elongated skulls, as a result of skull manipulation, were also seen in the excavations from Cahuachi. This effect was achieved by binding a cushion to an infant's forehead and a board to the back of the head. Archaeologists can only speculate as to why this was done to some of the skulls. Several theories suggest skull manipulation created an ethnic identity, formed the individual into a social being, or may have illustrated social status.

Some historic Native American cultures in North America also practiced such shaping of skulls, such as the Snake, Cowlitz and Chinook peoples, most of whom lived west of the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest. They were informally known as the Flathead peoples.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahuachi

“Cahuachi,[1] in Peru, was a major ceremonial center of the Nazca culture, based from 1 AD to about 500 AD in the coastal area of the Central Andes. It overlooked some of the Nazca lines. The Italian archaeologist Giuseppe Orefici has been excavating at the site for the past few decades. The site contains over 40 mounds topped with adobe structures. The huge architectural complex covers 0.6 sq. miles (1.5 km2) at 365 meters above sea level.[2] The American archeologist Helaine Silverman has also conducted long term, multi-stage research and written about the full context of Nazca society at Cahuachi, published in a lengthy study in 1993.”

>> Oh my! We’ve got Tells here as well.

“Scholars once thought the site was the capital of the Nazca state but have determined that the permanent population was quite small. They believe that it was a pilgrimage center, whose population increased greatly in relation to major ceremonial events. New research has suggested that 40 of the mounds were natural hills modified to appear as artificial constructions. Support for the pilgrimage theory comes from archaeological evidence of sparse population at Cahuachi, the spatial patterning of the site, and ethnographic evidence from the Virgin of Yauca pilgrimage in the nearby Ica Valley.

Looting is the greatest problem facing the site today. Most of the burial sites surrounding Cahuachi were not known until recently and are tempting targets for looters.”

>> If there is looting, then there is a black market. If there is a black market, you think (((they))) control it or not anons?

“Geographic and environmental overview

The Cahuachi site is located near the south coast of Peru, and found in the Nazca Valley. Within the Nazca Valley is the Río Grande de Nazca drainage system and is where the Nasca culture developed. The area is ecologically classified as “pre-mountain desert formation.” There is a very important ecological transition going on within the Río Grande de Nazca drainage system, transitioning from pre-mountain desert zone of the coast, to chuapiyunga (meaning "between hot and cold") up towards the highlands, and east of the town Nasca begins the transition to true yunga. Yunga refers to the Quechua Yungas meaning "warm valley". The site itself can be found on the southern side of the Nazca River, one of ten major tributaries that form the Río Grande de Nazca drainage system. The Nazca Valley Grande drainage area is very dry in the summer and extremely hot. Precipitation varies between none and 125 mm. Temperature averages 21.3 °C.

To the north and south Cahuachi faces two pampas, or flat plain-like terrain: Pampa de San José and Pampa de Atarco, and on these plains is where the famous ground-drawings of the Nazca desert are found. The Río Grande region's soils are available for irrigation agriculture with limitations. Cahuachi is located off of the valley bottom of the treeless hills and terraces beneath Pampa de Atarco, and has been known to be subject to strong winds that are capable of becoming sandstorms. It is on these treeless hills that formed the core majority of artificial constructions at Cahuachi. There is, also present, sporadic rains and cyclical floods which result in water erosion of the terrain, which made some parts of the valley uninhabitable, which influenced the settlement pattern of Cahuachi.

Cahuachi lies over brown barren river terraces that are characterized by hills, above the bottom of the valley.[2] The hills are prominent to most of the artificial constructions at the site.[2] From various types of erosion, including wind, water, and sedimentary, the hills appear to be naturally pyramidal in form.”

>> Pyramidal form!?!? This is super interesting.
