ver 100 new geoglyphs depicting fish, snakes and humanoids, among other things, have been identified near Nazca, Peru—thanks, at least in part, to artificial intelligence.
Researchers at Yamagata University and IBM Japan used AI technology belonging to the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in New York to locate 142 geoglyphs, which are thought to date back to a period between 100 BCE and 300 CE. A plethora of living things are represented in this ancient artwork, from fish and birds to monkeys, camelids and humanoids.
They were constructed by removing rocks, leaving a negative image in the white sand below. The longest piece identified is larger than the Statue of Liberty, measuring more than 100 meters from tip-to-tip, and the smallest is 5 meters—approximately the same size as Michelangelo's David.
Researchers have split the geoglyphs into two categories, based on size, age and design. The first group (type A) are line drawings and tend to be bigger, measuring 50 meters or more. The second group (type B) consists of solid-colored surfaces that are 50 meters and smaller.

He’s not saying it was aliens ...
But it was aliens.
Things they do when bored.
We moved the grading stakes for a project 10 feet over.
Found a storm sewer manhole box for a junction of three lines...spent the Summer filling it up with concrete chunks.
Back in the 60's.
Years ago when Google Earth came out, I used to spend hours checking out Peruvian areas. The place looks like Los Angeles might after a nuclear holocaust. Must have been millions of people there at one time long ago.
‘The longest piece identified is larger than the Statue of Liberty, measuring more than 100 meters from tip-to-tip,...’
That there snake would be even longer if they straightened it out!
Thanks Rebelbase.
We have no idea what ‘technology’ became available to people who thought in very different ways.
(It’s always kind of funny to me when people say that the Egyptians ‘couldn’t have built the Pyramids’ - so it must have been ‘aliens’. Do these people realize how OLD Egyptian civilization was before the first pyramid was built? Do they have any idea of the depth and profundity of their ways of thinking, and their philosophies?)
Beware of Geeks bearing glyphs!
I kinda agree... I think most basic discoveries (fire, cooking things with fire, swimming, rafting, boating) plus the cave art and the porn-like carved "fertility goddesses" can be attributed to teenaged boys.
Today we’re so tall because we stand on the shoulders of giants, who also stand on bigger giants, who then again stand on even bigger giants. Giants all the way down.
We also built a dug in, fortified bunker on a hillside overlooking a county road incase of enemy attack.
Where are the crystal skulls?
And here we are today, living free because you and your cousin kept us safe from marauding county road crews.

Well, I guess that’s better than ‘turtles;.
(But I’m not sure that we even know what ‘turtles’ represented, in the minds that created the myth.)
Ha, ha!
I thought of that when I posted it.
I didn’t mean giants as in huge proportioned people, but mental giants.
All of our wonderful technology we have today is due to the hard work of those who came before us.
I guess some of the ancient thought of turtles because their hard shells are like bedrock, and since earthquakes can happen, maybe they thought the whole world was an enormous turtle that occasionally moved. And then when others asked what was under the turtle, all they could think of was another, bigger turtle. And THEN, some smart ass probably asked what was under THAT turtle, so they just ended the trolling by saying shaddap it’s turtles all the way down.
Ya can’t be too careful.
Aw shucks, someone best me to it... didn’t notice.
