You are losing the point ...

And you're missing the point.

"Amazing" feats are done if they are 'easy' to do or if there is some (perceived) great need to do so.

Given a free flight out there, transport, food and camping kit, I can single-handedly add another Nazcar line for you if you wish (and if noone else gets too upset). It is rather easy to do other than for the conditions there.

Aqueducts and roads serve a purpose.

Why would they create these lines in Nazca?

Now, that is a very good question.

What do you think? ;-)

Hmm...

Religious purposes?
Navigational purposes?
Astronomical Star alignments?
Messages? (To the future generations/Someone at 10,000 ft elev?)
Airports?
Boredom?

I envisioned ML1 as Simon Cowell from, "American Idol", which must make me Ryan Seacrest.

I see his points, though, like any good contestant. We can both be grouchy! But we have a symbiant relationship here at the SETI Forums.

Hmm...

Good set of guesses.

Take a look at:
Cahuachi
Nazca culture
Nazca Lines

I favour the religious and travel theories, combined with the unusual conditions there.

Who's Simon Cowell? (Joke!) I hoped SETIzens were above watching that drivel.

Didn't think of that one.

Good thinking.

Besides those very long and shorter perfect straight lines there are many perfectly made big triangles on the site. (besides considering animal shapes)

People figured out egyptian hieroglyphs after 2000 years of time break but strangely on these nazca information not many brains working effectively for decades. Basically ufo chasers have some motivation.

But recently there was some big re-discovery made on those 13 mayan/incan towers that those were related to astronomy.

So why certain cruel mayan society get into astronomy business besides their usual stone age business and why there are strange perfect grand scale drawings nearby is interesting clue. (perhaps there is some chance that they were not too cruel after all if we could ignore their periodic human sacrifice considering their mind had a room to develop astronomy.)

And these their calendars reveal certain good mind works:

http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-60228/calendar

The Peruvian ancients were incas but I am sure there were certain cultural exchanges between incas and mayans.

Thanks for the data and links, Orgil.

(perhaps there is some chance that they were not too cruel after all if we could ignore their periodic human sacrifice considering their mind had a room to develop astronomy.)


There are plenty of periods of cruelty and sacrifice from the old east and europe to validate this.

ie: The Inquisition, The Crusades, Tortures worse than death, The Conquest of the new world, etc...

We are no better than they.

If you want to discuss singing more, a PM is fine. I don't want to de-rail your thread topic. :)

Lots of work represented here and glad it's not round filed.

Or is that a 2d representation of two 3d views of the one yogic pan-dimensional being?
