This is very interesting, many natural forms are associated with UFO's or other forms of life from outerspace, it is incredible that such feats were made very accurately.

The famous nazca lines in Peru, ancient shapes from debatable origin, but ancient for sure:

That sort of thing is easy to do. Many high schools have their art students do something similar as a project just to show how easy it is to do something that makes the unwashed masses goggle. :DQuote:

Yeah, I guess is humanly possible to be done, but complicated.Quote:

It's sort of like the difference in focus between an abstract artist and a photo-realistic artist.Quote:

Why did they do it? Maybe they were insane. Van Gogh cut off his ear... the Nazca made images no one could appreciate.
Actually, I think the answer is simpler... the Nazca lines date from about 400 to650 AD; combine that with the fact that the Chinese had hot air balloons in the second century AD. Maybe these people had hot air balloons, but that fact was lost over time due to war or disease and something. Lots of inventions have been lost and rediscovered later, then found to date earlier than previously thought.
^Cool theory that I hadn't heard before. :cool:Quote:

Well, if someone somewhere can invent something, probably someone else somewhere else can too. I saw a show a few months back on "ancient astronauts" that claimed the Aztecs/Mayans had seen flying machines because of some jewelry they found that looked vaguely like a jet. They made a large-scale model of the jewelry and found the shape was aerodynamic and flew pretty well. However, the design didn't look much like a jet, it looked more like a flying fish to me. They might have seen flying fish and copied how they look when "flying" in the air.Quote:

Perhaps the Nazca people made these pictures to let their gods (or extraterrestrial aliens) know that they're there ? Kinda like someone stranded on an island would make a fire to let passing airplanes know he's there.
And not unlike we did when with the Golden Record sent out with Voyager I & II:

"This is a present from a small, distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours." - Jimmy Carter
BTW, in Shining Force II one of these shapes actually turns out to be an ancient space ship that brings you back to your homeland :mrgreen:
Well, that's certainly the simplest and most rational argument for the lines I've heard. If you believe your "god" lives in the sky/heavens, you might certainly wish to make an image large enough for him to see from heaven.Quote:
