Non Prophet recently posted about The Nazca Lines which are strange geometric forms drawn in the desert in Nazca, Peru some in the shape of animals, so large that they are not visible in their entirety from the ground. There have been a multitude of proposed theories attempting to explain the creation of these lines over the years, and I found that this site lays them all out pretty well. The most interesting theory, to me is that laid out by the Nasca Lines Project which postulates that the glyphs indicate (at their terminal points) the location of geophysical faults where water seeps to the surface. Water would have been *very* important to those peoples living in this desert environment. In fact, it is only due to the extremely dry climate that the lines are still evident today. The theory is the work of David Johnson of NY, a photographer, former HS teacher of 25 years, and adjunct professor of Anthropology at the University of Mass. More detailed analysis is available on his site under ‘water research’.
