SixSentinels SG Most of you have heard of the Nazca Lines, they're over 300 drawings of strange symbols and shapes on the desert surface in Peru, works of art believed to have been done by the ancient peoples thousands of years ago. Just now I was looking at the Nazca Plain and these are a few of the interesting pictures I captured. Strange Lines, stretching many kilometers long: The Humming Bird: Intersecting Lines, with Triangles at the tips: Now this has perfect symmetry: Strange Curvy Pattern in the Triangle: The Nazca Plain remains ever popular with sightseers and tourists alike, because of the many mysterious shapes carved into its surface. Here you see a screenshot of a small plane taken by me Such trips are not uncommon, and although many of the carvings have faded away over thousands of years, many still remain that are a popular tourist attraction. Here are a few of the shapes you can spot if you use Google Earth: I will post more as I scour this vast, mysterious landscape Here are a few pictures taken from the air (not by me): The Monkey: The Astronaut:
SixSentinels SG MSN - April 21, 2006 A new giant picture on the Nazca Plateau in Peru, which is famous for giant patterns that can be seen from the air, has been discovered by a team of Japanese researchers. The image is 65 meters long, and appears to be an animal with horns. It is thought to have been drawn as a symbol of hopes for good crops, but there are no similar patterns elsewhere, and the type of the animal remains unclear.
saline SG this is just as puzzling, there's another one at 42 27'12.08"N,94 08'49.36"E. go check it out.
SixSentinels SG saline, the coordinates of the nazca plain are at the bottom of my screenshots, try searching for these mystery shapes in the desert floor if u can
saline SG abit off topic but this is v funny..... It looks like thrips, a very small (1mm or so) insect. The size might explain how it got involved in the printing process. The brown glob at the posterior end is bug crap , forced out of the poor critter as it got squished between a glass plate and the film during the scanning process.
