In one of the most arid regions in the world a series of carefully constructed, spiralling holes form lines across the landscape. Known as puquios, their origin has been a puzzle -- one that could only be solved from space.
The holes are from the Nasca region of Peru -- an area famous for the Nasca lines, several enormous geometric images carved into the landscape; immaculate archaeological evidence of ceremonial burials; and the rapid decline of this once flourishing society.
What adds to the intrigue in the native ancient people of Nasca is how they were able to survive in an area where droughts can last for years at a time.
The puquios were a "sophisticated hydraulic system constructed to retrieve water from underground aquifers," says Rosa Lasaponara of the Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, in Italy. And they transformed this inhospitable region.
Lasaponara and her team studied the puquios using satellite imaging. From this, the team were able to better understand how the puquios were distributed across the Nasca region, and where they ran in relation to nearby settlements -- which are easier to date...
Their existence tells us something remarkable about the people who lived in the Nasca region from before 1,000 BC to AD750. "The construction of the puquios involved the use of particularly specialised technology," says Lasaponara. Not only did the builders of the puquios need a deep understanding of the geology of the area and annual variations in water availability, maintaining the canals was a technical challenge as they spread across tectonic faults.

See? More evidence of ancient alien technology.
It had to be solved From Space!
Could easily be a separate topic, but I’m lazy and tired.

Wind assisted water distribution systems in Peru? Wow.
Not sure how the hydraulic part worked.
Lots of Union work back then, Masons, laborers,
But in the end.. If the wind blows the wrong way? What then?
Interesting .. Who says ya can’t squeeze a rock and get water out of it? ;-)
Must have been done by Ufo aliens.

I saw a documentary about those and that was their conclusion. The lines are amazing.
A culture that couldn't have even *been* a culture unless they first installed the technology. Think of that.
Holy cow.
What a strange landing field but I suppose round is good for those flying saucers.
This type of irrigation canal are common in the Middle East. I find it interesting that similar problems find similar solutions.
Similar problems find similar solutions when you talk to similar people er angels er aliens.
The pyramids all over the ancient world must have had the same explanation—everybody decided to bury their leaders the same way.

You can walk down and fill your bucket...but why so many so close together?
Compare to the ancient Persian qanat system, which were linked by tunnels:
I saw a tv show several years ago making this exact same claim. This is not new!
Who needs writing when everyone is a telepath?
