Nazca

The nazca lines are all over the nazca desert. The nazca lines are giant geoglyphs, geoglyphs are large designs that can tell a story most are longer than 4 meters across. That are ancient, ancient means old I mean really old thousand, millions, billions of year old. The nazca lines have had several meanings of existants. They have had many theories of why there are giant lines in the nazca lines. One theory caught my eye, that theory was the theory by: Robin Edgar His theory states that the nazca lines were a way for the early nazcan people to communicate with god they used animals and people to ask for food and rain for their people to be able to survive they would perform rituals in which they would walk in lines, on the lines…

The story all begins when the Aliens touched the land called Earth. They explain that they were there because a gigantic meteor crashed into their home planet. The…

The Nazca lines have been a source of fascination since they were first discovered in 1927. They are considered one of archaeology’s most significant mysteries due to their size, quantity, and preservation. However, a few enigmas surrounding the lines have been uncovered such as their origin, meaning, and construction. The Nazca lines consist of more than 800 nearly perfectly straight lines, 70 plant and animal designs, and 300 geometric figures. There are 2 main styles distinctive of the…

Along the south coast of Peru in the 3rd – 5th century CE, people from area drew the outlines of animals, plants, and geometric shapes into the sand, now known as the Nazca geoglyphs. Unlike most art of the time, these were on a monumental scale as some were 400+ feet long and straight lines were continuous for 1,000+ feet, stopping at a pile of stones. This pile of stones is important because it links to a ritual of Peruvians still in use today – ceremonial walking. Just as modern ceremonial…

The Paracas and Nazca cultures thrived in what is now Peru from around 600 - 175 BC and 1 - 700 AD, respectively. The depiction of ritual sacrifice plays a significant role in the art of both the Paracas and the Nazca cultures. We see examples of this ritual sacrifice in the intricately decorated Paracas textiles and beautifully painted Nazca ceramic pottery. One example of ritual sacrifice that we see in both the Paracas and Nazca cultures is that of trophy heads. A trophy head was…

the areas where the map is constant to make a grouping for sections on the plate boundary. Based on this method, we discovered four different type of formations from our legend. Our first type is seismology; which appears further from the plate. The second type, is volcanology, which presented as clusters. The third type; geography, starts deep below sea level then gradually rises. The last type is Geochronology, found on the Nazca plate; the closer you get to the land, the older the rock…

“Treasures of…) However, the final chamber was not so easy to open. When the guards reached the final chamber, which is sealed with three doors, the last door could not be opened. It is believed this reason is because it is cursed by ancient aliens. But what lies beyond those doors? One myth details the lost treasure from Utah may lie beyond those sealed doors, concealed by the ancient aliens so no human can enter. (Burns “Treasures of…) Other important facts found throughout history, which have…

Earthquakes occur deep below the surface at locations called hypocenters or focuses (Marshak 350). This is where the fault motion originates causing an earthquake. The Nazca plate subduction zone is an active fault, meaning earthquakes are common and produced more frequently in this region compared to inactive faults, or places where the fault has not slipped in some time. During an earthquake, body waves radiate across the interior of the earth from the hypocenter; whereas surface waves travel…

of evidence that suggest that aliens are non-existing. Throughout history, there had been many instances of the disappearance of people and strange incidents. The most recent instance that had occurred in the past few years was the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. The conspiracy theory of unidentified alien abduction may seem inconceivable but could be a potential solution to this mysterious incident which baffled people in the world. The most compelling ancient evidence of…

I propose that my group builds an earthquake-safe structure in Chile. If you look at the history of earthquakes in Chile you may notice that there are several 7.0+ magnitude quakes. This is including one with a magnitude of 9.5 on May 22, 1960, this earthquake holds the record for the worst magnitude earthquake in the history of the world. With this type history, an earthquake safe structure would be a welcome thing in Chile. As Chileans build homes and buildings they often use shoddy materials,…
