Find out about this phenomenon in this link known as Nazca Lines.In the middle of the Nazca desert, Peru, there are massive animal shapes. These are known as the Nazca lines, and are the subject of much discussion over their unknown origin. The largest is almost 900 feet in size. The main confusion over these markings is that while impressive in scope and appearance, there would seem to be no real means for the creators to have SEEN their creations.
WHY?
There are a number of theories as to why the Nazca lines were built. The most popular is that they are creations of some religious significance. In the area in which they were made, Solar Eclipses are common, and it has been theorized that these images may be designed to be
viewed not by man, but by ‘The Eye in the Sky’. A variation on this theme is that the lines were walked along, in a kind of religious practice similar to the practice of Labyrinth walking.
Another theory would be the obvious concept of artistic merit or beauty, though it’s difficult to imagine why one would make such an incredible piece of art, when nobody could possibly be able to see it, but we’ll revisit this briefly when we look at the Hows.
There’s also a theory that the markings were made on account of Extra Terrestrial life, though there is little evidence to this effect. One drawing that comes up regularly in relation to this theory is one referred to as 'The Astronaut', which has a resemblance to a spaceman.
HOW
One theory, again, a favorite, is that the lines were made simply through good mathematics. The area would be graphed into squares, the image drawn on graph paper, and the image converted to its epic scale.
There is a theory though, that the creators would have in fact been able to view their creation through the aid of hot air balloons that would have been used to ensure the quality of production. This could also lend a little more weight to the idea of the images as art designed for human eyes. This theory is further given credibility by researcher Jim Woodmann who proved that it was possible to make a functional hot air balloon with technology and material available to the Nazcas, but the theory is as yet neither proven nor disproved.
Have you heard about the CROP LINES or CIRCLES? Are they similar to the Nazca Lines? How are they different or similar? Are they hoaxes?

Si, ya habia escuchado acerca del término de ''crop lines'' y ciertamente guardan relacion con las formas de animales que se ven en el desierto de Nazca. La diferencia es que las primeras consisten en un conjunto de líneas que forman un dibujo extraño sobre plantaciones de maíz.

Yes, these two phenomena are quite amazing. Did you read what was it that probably caused the croplines?
I think that it's a very interesting article because the study of antiques pictures help to understand ancient cultures.
Yo creo más en la teoria de los extraterrestres uno nunca sabe XD y ademas por tantan peliculas de ciencia ficcion que se hace con respento a eso, ejemplo "Señales" o "Sings" donde haces esos dibujos pero no en Peru sino en USA y el resto del mundo XD
Lo que yo tenía entendido es que "crop lines" eran asociadas a seres extraterrestres, en cambio las líneas de Nazca por lo que anteriormente sabía las habían hecho antiguas civilizaciones. Nunca las había asociado como un solo fenómeno.

Tengo entendido que las crop lines son como mucho mas elaboradas, muy geométricas; pero las lineas nazca parecen un reflejo de la cultura peuana. Es que hubo culturas capaces de organizarse y crear, dentro de ese mismo país, como matchupitchu. Todo eso es muy sorprendente, ls pirámides en todo el planeta, este tipo de líneas y otras cosas que no parecen estar muy claras con respecto a la forma o el destino para el que fueron creadas. Yo no descarto las teorias acerca de los extraterrestres, no creo que en todo el universo solo estemos nosotros. Para mi, estos temas resultan interesantes. Hay documentales muy buenos e igual de interesante que hablan de este tipo de fenómenos. J.J. Benites es una persona que ha ddicado sus libros y documentales para hablar sobre estas cosas, por ejemplo.
bueno, siempre me han interesado este tipo de cosas relacionadas con arqueologia. no sabia nada de que en peru existieran estos dibujos, solo sabia de las ruinas de machu-pichu. entre las teorias, no creo en extraterrestres y dudo que a dios le gustara escribir en la tierra y muchio menos pintar, asi que me parece mas acertada la teoria de los matematicos.
Ciertamente yo tambien tenia una percepcion de que las crop lines eran algo mucho mas geometrico. Ahmm pero estoy si parece algo de las civilizaciones pasadas, por las formas que expresan estas lineas.
Este tema es muy polémico, a cada rato hay nuevas teorías y peleas entre los seguidores de las diversas teorías, en verdad yo no se que creer, estoy a la expectativa de nuevos descubrimientos en el tema, jejeje ninguna explicación me termina de parecer convincente, ojalá pronto se sepa con exactitud quién hizo todos estas figuras..
