Exactly. The key is the point of view. I have not been to Nazca, but from what I have heard and read, the lines are not that noticeable when you are on the ground. You are correct when you way that there had to be something definite motivating these people to create something that could only be appreciated, or even really detected from a point of view that we don’t know how they could possibly have gotten to.

The lines were not notable until about 1930 when someone flew over them and realized they actually represented figures. I believe they were drawn as navigation aids to someone, but who is anyone’s guess.

The only thing that I could see from the ground were straight lines/rays. Interestingly, last I checked, some of this was visible on google earth, ~14.41’44S, 75.10’38W
