Many of the lines appear to be random and seem to have no pattern to them.

Other prints have formed "roads" like geometric planes and appear to have been occupied by large groups of the population. Third, many lines form animal patterns. Could these geoglyphs be effigies of ancient animal gods or patterns of constellations? Are they roads, star pointers, maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? If so, who ordained it? It all seems so otherworldly. To comprehend the Nasca lines, created by the removal of desert rock to reveal the pale pink sand beneath, visitors have proposed every imaginable explanation - from runways for spaceships to tracks for Olympic athletes, from op art to pop art, to astronomical observatories. It is believed that the geoglyphs were built by a people called the Nasca- but why and how they created these wonders of the world has defied explanation. As much as the lines awe us, we marvel equally at the imagination of the people who have sought explanations for them. ------------------------ ========================= Mysterious Nazca-like "roads" near Pisco, Peru ------------------------------------------------ Another strange "road" is located near Pisco in Peru. Satellite photo of the "Band of Holes" near Pisco Valley . Note: The location of the band of holes is highlighted brown. Click on the image to enlarge. -------------------------------------------- This is another strange road in the Pisco region in Peru. It is about 20m wide and goes for many miles through the desert. It is lighter than its surroundings and marked by small craters spread apart by approximately 200m. Go to Google Earth and follow the road. For coordinates enlarge any of the images below. ==================================================================================== ==================================================================================== Compare Nazca lines with Area 51 desert "drawings" ====================================================The following satellite images of the regions surrounding Area 51 are available from Google Maps [ http://maps.google.com/ ] as well as from GoogleEarth [ http://earth.google.com ] =========================================== thank you everyone to visit my sight stay tuned for more Mystic Places by : sree
