NAZACA LINES AND THEIR MYSTERIES.
Located in the deserts of Peru, on a plain stretched between the Inca Valley and the Nazca
Valley, the mysterious Nazca Lines have been a source of mystery and intrigue since their
discovery in 1927.
The lines were created by the ancient Nazca people, whose civilization flourished from about 200 BC until their society mysteriously collapsed around 650 AD.
Originally discovered by Peruvian archaeologists Toribis Majia Xesspe in 1927n, they weren’t
actually studied until Paul Kosok rediscovered them in 1937.
The Nazca Lines are in an area 37 miles long, and 15 miles wide. There are two main forms,
biomorphs and geoglyphs. The biomorphs are figures of animals and plants. There are over 70, all grouped together. They are very large, with the largest being over 660 feet across. The
biomorphs include images of spiders, birds, monkeys, llamas, trees, flowers and human
figures. The geoglyphs are a series of geometric forms, including straight lines, triangles,
spirals, circles and trapezoids. The longest is a straight line nine miles long.(fotos)
Construction Archaeologists believe they were made by brushing away the reddish iron oxide covered
rocks that cover the Peruvian desert. This allowed the white sand underneath to show
through. Because the Nazca area is very dry, it has allowed the lines to exist for over 2000
years.
The mystery surrounding their construction is how the ancient Nazca people were able to
create huge structures the could only be appreciated from the air, during a time when manned flight wasn’t known to exist. Some archaeologist believe surveying techniques were used to
create the huge pictures, while others believe they couldn’t have been made without some
type of manned flight.
Meaning and Mystery
The mystery of the Lines goes far beyond the creation. The meaning has fueled debate
among scientists for years. The theories proposed has even become part of the Nazca Line’s fame.
There are different theories about their meanning:
● The most widely believe meaning is that the Lines had
religious purpose
. They could
have been designed as offerings to their gods, who would have been able to see them
from the heavens.Other scientist add to this by saying they were used as sacred
pathways the ancient Nazca people used during their religious rituals.
●Alien airport:
some scientists think that they could be a kind of airport for aliens
because the only way to actually see them it is from the air.
● Theory of the message:
it says that the population is infront of a message that otros
seres sent us to descifry the enigm.
● Astronomic calendar, by maria reiche:
Questions without answers
●Las figuras solo pueden verse a una altura de 1500 metros, ¿como pudieron ser
creadas en una epoca en la que el hombre no podia llegar a esa altura?
● ¿Como pudieron hacer calculos topograficos con tal exactitud solo imaginandoselo,
en una epoca en la que no existia la tecnologia para hacelo?
● ¿Como pueden conservarse despues de los siglos sin casi ninguna variacion a pesar
de terremotos y otros fenomenos naturales?
El desierto de Perú tiene uno de los monumentos más desconcertantes de geoglifos
conocidas como “las Líneas de Nazca”. Van desde patrones geométricos a diversos “dibujos”
de animales y estilizadas formas similares a las humanas. Las antiguas líneas sólo se
pueden apreciar desde el aire. En la actualidad son muchas las preguntas que no han sido respondidas: ¿Quién las construyó y cuál era su propósito? ¿Son las líneas signos dejadas
por una raza alienígena? ¿Las reliquias de una antigua civilización mucho más avanzada con
capacidad de volar? ¿O un gigantesco calendario astronómico?
