I have no problem with your analogy but, I'll keep an open mind to the possible and consider the "Probable" openly...

Hi and thanks for reading and considering what I wrote. (Morecambe and Wise 1970 hehe)

Ritual. You are so right, it is always brought out, BUT, (excuse the caps) it can sometimes be the reason, and the peoples of South America seem to have had a lot of rituals, think of the child mummies found at the top of mountains, who most probably walked all the way to their glorious death.

But I am not convinced of aliens as the driving force, I fear that man drove a lot of other men to do the work, somehow.

As a later poster has pointed out the first flattened area is not that long, 1/3 of a mile, 600yards/meters and is not level.

I do not seem to have seen anyone state just what sort of rock or earth that area is composed of?

I think that it has been suggested that some of the lines on the plain point to certain important mountains, in some ways associated with water and they were trying to draw down water to survive? Sure someone will come on and confirm or deny this possibility. I am just using what memory I have left.

The landscape and its importance to the people is obviously very important and was venerated, so no doubt the organisers of all these features were the few and others did their bidding. Like all great structures from the past.

There certainly is a lot to be learned about these features.

I find it very telling that you roll your eyes at simple logic. I simply said that just because something is possible doesn't mean that it's probable. What exactly is your problem with that? How does that deserve an eye roll? It's common sense.

It's possible that the Nazca lines were built by a giant shape-shifting telepathic platypus. That doesn't mean we should assume that's what really happened.

I'M the one keeping an open mind, not you; you've obviously already made up your mind. I'm open to any possibility, and see no reason whatsoever to jump to random conclusions without any evidence.

I appreciate the reply and rebuttle
I really do

This is the type of civil discussion/debate that makes ATS great!
I just posted my response as a question really.

Is it possible and or probable?

I don't know about the runways, but the designs like the spider are very shallow. They just scraped a few inches of topsoil off to reveal the lighter soil beneath. There is little erosion in that region so the lines have survived fairly well for a very long time. I too would be curious to know whether those longer runway shapes are also just lightly scraped and leveled, or whether they're compacted.

Since we're discussing Inca culture, there's also the 12 corner stone in Cuzco:



Incredible how they were able to make this complex block fit so tightly with the others.

I found a website with many nice Google screenshots:
Palpa Lines

Someone made an effort to show most of them.

Another thought on that. If you follow the crest of what might be the ridge line on the now flat surface, I am not sure it was that high.

What I am trying to say is the fill every one is wondering about is right there, cut/fill to make a flat and WIDE surface. Looking at it after all this time, we are just assuming it was all removed, sort of an optical illusion.

This would be easy enough to prove or disprove with core samples of the area. The fill or lack there of would be evident. In addition, it would be easy enough to follow the local stratigraphy to determine the original height and more importantly, the width of the original ridge line.

My 2 cents.

and therein lies the crux of intrigue.

It's insinuated 2 societies, with obviously different levels of technological capacity, mingled.

Are the organic geoglyphs clan figureheads shouting to their brethren? Cool idea!

Many scenarios pop up in my head

The "alien" geoglyph matching (imo) the 10,000yr old cave painting is something that also stirs the imagination a bit. Is the raised hand a farewell or a hello?
Did the primitive artist create from the inspiration of lore? Or were they primitives witness to something similar to Columbus and the Indians?
or..
& or.. &

You must be blind if you don't see that it looks like a modern runway.

WHY do YOU think they would need a runway

We don't need them all the time.
