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. Keep searchin', Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Aqueducts and roads serve a purpose. Why would they create these lines in Nazca? "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

Why would they create these lines in Nazca? Now, that is a very good question. What do you think? ;-) Keep searchin', Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Hmm... Religious purposes? Navigational purposes? Astronomical Star alignments? Messages? (To the future generations/Someone at 10,000 ft elev?) Airports? Boredom? more "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

ML1 and MrGray, I like these last two posts. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

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. :) . "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

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.

LLOL :) Thank you for the three links as well, ML1. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

I envisioned ML1 as Simon Cowell... Who's Simon Cowell? (Joke!) I hoped SETIzens were above watching that drivel. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

Aqueducts and roads serve a purpose. Thats easy! "Art". Graffiti writ large, so to speak. |

Didn't think of that one. Good thinking. Sarge: I appreciate art in all forms. American Idol may be the apex of lameness but the talent is still there. I have many singers in my family, including myself. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

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.geocities.com/wwwtimto/gfx/azteccalendar.jpg http://webexhibits.org/calendars/calendar-mayan.html 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. :) "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

Didn't think of that one. If you want to discuss singing more, a PM is fine. I don't want to de-rail your thread topic. :) Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |
