The Nazca Lines are ancient geolyphs lines made by Nazca people that had an ancient prehistoric culture. They are located in the Nazca Desert in Southern Peru. There are many interesting things about these lines and their incredible structure. This desert is in an arid area between the Andes mountain range and the Pacific Ocean. This desert also lives on an alluvial plain. Furthermore, since its distance stretches four hundred kilometers South of Lima, the Pampas of Jumana covers about four hundred
Walking. A natural progression in the development of a person. From the day a baby begins to walk, it becomes a fundamental activity that he does for the rest of his life. Walking is a universal movement that we do not consciously think about in order to do it. Walking a line is probably the easiest thing a human being can do to mark his place, to have his footsteps imprinted on the land. Richard Long, a British contemporary artist, engages with the world by walking, and interacts with natural
Until commercial air travel began flying between Lima and Arequipa (a southern Peruvian city) in the late 1920’s, one of the Nazca most beautiful mysteries was still completely in the dark. Nazca lines have puzzled virtually anyone who has taken interest in their true meaning. Archeologists, anthropologists, scientists, and historians have still to this day never figured out the exact reason for these huge desert-drawings, but there are some very promising theories. When I first saw the pictures
Anthony F. Aveni in 1986 wrote about the Nazca lines and gave full detail of his findings. The Nazca Lines are an amazing archeological site with more than 150 sites, which range from as early as 1400-400 BC to the late 14th/ early 15th century(Aveni, pg.33). The Nazca Lines has three basic types: straight lines, geometric design, and pictorial representation. Aveni discovered that there are 1300 kilometers of straight lines in various widths, for geometric figures they consist mostly of rectangles
The Nazca culture was Flourished in 100BC to 800AD in Southern Peru. This was a culture that was extremely famous and successful in art such as pottery. Their pottery consisted a lot of naturalistic things such as animals, plants, and humans and usually contained 15 colors. Their art also included Geometry like spirals, lines, circles as well as Mythical and religion.Nazcas were firm believers of nature, this was a society in which was based off agriculture. A typical art piece in the Nazca culture
the oceans crust and it creates magma where the two tectonic plates meet. Study this map that shows the motion of the Earth's plates. 5. Find the Nazca plate and the South American plate. How are they different? Are they moving toward or away from each other? The Nazca plate is an oceanic plate, while South American plate is continental. The Nazca is moving East towards the South American plate at a downward angle and converging. This process is called subduction, resulting in a lot of earthquakes
theme. It seems ritual sacrifice was a wide spread practice, from textiles depicting figures with detached heads, ceramics showing mythical beings having their own trophy heads, to other paintings displaying prisoners being sacrificed. The Paracas, Nazca, and Moche people had some form of sacrifice depicted in their artwork, but each culture had its own way of showing their rituals in either various art forms or use of imagery. Why is this common theme among these cultures? Was it for worship or was
Tectonic Activity The continents of the world are all separated by different tectonic plates which when collide is called Tectonic Activity. There are different forms of tectonic activity and different processes and landforms, which are involved during and as a result of the collisions. As and when these collisions are going to take place we can't determine because current technology hasn't allowed
A red line is the difference written in blood between two groups. A blue line is the difference based on authority. A black line is the difference based on words, that is, law. A white line is the difference based on death. Constantinople: The door was chalked with a heap of chalk; around the house stretched a thin white line, indicating that the house contained plague. This is an unpleasant image, on which I will not dwell. A strange, contemporary thought: almost every property in London has
Okay, so we all know about the dinosaurs, right? How they lived millions of years ago; how a massive meteor or volcanic eruptions wiped them out; and how man has never seen a living dinosaur. . . but what if I told you I had enough compelling evidence to prove all of these big name scientists wrong? In other words, evolutionists who basically believe we came from rocks…..I know right!? Well hold on, because I'm getting ready to blow your mind and all of their theories out of the water with
If the planet was here before humans any other form of life could have been roaming the planet. For example the “Nazca Lines” found in Peru. A quote from the Ancient Aliens series, “The land looked like airstrips. They start abruptly. They end abruptly.” This shows how the Nazca lines were a form of aliens landing in Peru and using it to land multiple of their aircrafts. There has also been an underground city found in Los Angeles. In the city
South America, between 3500BC-2500BC, was inhabited with permanently established villages around the coast and a few groups of hunter-gatherers. Most of the villages prospered near the Pacific coast because the ocean had a rich population of marine life. Improvements in farming helped the growth of population and the expansion of permanent farming villages. The invention of loom weaving, pottery, and the beginnings of a more-classed based society develop because of these improvements. Temple mounds
and “The Nazca Lines” are two strongest clues to solve the alien mystery. Piri Reis, an admiral of the Turkish fleet in 1513 made a map from a large number of source maps, some dated back to the 4th B.C. His perfectly detailed map shows the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast of South America, and the northern coast of Antarctica three hundred years before it was discovered. The most puzzling however is, his map shows the Antarctica before covered by the ice. In Peru, “The Nazca Lines” are
As Martin walks through the Amazon Rainforest with his guide, the humidity causes his hands to become clammy. Since the rainforest is on the equator the heat and the humidity causes his shirt to cling to his back like paper and glue. To Martin the forest seemed to be alive. In only 250 acres Pablo had showed him about 1,000 different types of plants in just half an acre. Apparently there were over 6,000 types of plants in just 250 acres. Pablo also showed him the diversity of the animals in the Amazon
INTRODUCTION In 1835 Charles Darwin, aboard the vessel HMS Beagle, first set foot on the Islands of the Galapagos Archipeligo setting off on what would become the inspiration for the most important innovation in biological sciences either before or since. That visit solidified for Darwin his notion of the evolution of life on Earth, and helped trigger his breakthrough regarding Natural Selection, ultimately culminating in his groundbreaking masterpiece On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural
started off of the coast of Chile, and sent the seismic force inward toward the city of Valdivia. The fault where the plates collided to cause this earthquake was estimated to be anywhere from 560-620 miles long, and ran across the stretch of the Nazca
“artificial lines etched in the desert surface,” but upon further inspection from planes, travelers discovered the lines were part of huge figures, including birds, spiders, fish, and even a monkey. “There lies the basic mystery and allure of the Nazca figure—why would anyone bother to make figures that could only be appreciated from an airplane in an era when there were no airplanes? For it is well established that these drawings are at least fifteen hundred years old.” If one does not believe
1. Introduction D.J. Dowrick (”Earthquake Risk Reduction”in Wiley) explains that seismic hazard is any physical phenomenon associated with an earthquake that may produce adverse effects on human activities. Earthquakes occur very suddenly without any warning. Thus, earthquake not only destructs people’s living environment, but also affects people’s mental health. People are more scared of earthquake. In 2010, there are two severe earthquakes, which are Haiti Earthquake and Chile Earthquake. Both
continental plates are comprised of rocks such as andesite and granite. It is generally believed that there are 12 plates that make up the earth’s surface. The majority of these plates are a combination of oceanic and continental lithosphere, while the Nazca, Pacific and Juan de Fuca Plates are made up of mostly oceanic lithosphere. Most of the continents have their own plate or plates, with the exception of Europe and Asia, which share the massive Eurasian Plate. Along the edges of these plates there
A volcano is a mountain or hill, which has a vent where lava, broken pieces of rock, hot vapor, and gases are being erupted from beneath the Earth’s crust. It is unknown where the first volcano was located; however, the first one recorded was Mount Vesuvius in Naples, Italy. The ash and rock from that particular eruption engulfed Pompeii, making it hard to breath. Eventually, the ash was turned to mud from the rainfall, which soon buried it. It was said that some people were able to successfully
