Nazca Lines

Thursday morning of last week Michaelle and I took a trip to see the Nazca lines. There are a bunch of theories about the origin of these lines, but I think the basic understanding is that they were etched into the earth about 3000 years ago by the Nazca civilization. The mystery surrounding the lines lies largely in the fact that they can only really be appreciated from the sky, or from a viewing tower. So, how did the creators so accurately draw them from the ground? Also, many of the drawings don´t coincide with the settlement location of the Nazca peoples. The Nazca lived in the desert and one of their drawings is of a monkey and another is of a killer whale. Anyway, I had a great time. Michaelle hated it. We were advised not to eat anything before flying because many people get sick from the small plane´s twisting and turning to give tourists good photo ops. By the end of the flight Michaelle was staring forward, not at all interested in taking in any more lines. haha. The photo to the left is of an Astronaut or Alien and the one below is the whale.
