I was doing some web research on prehistoric formations in South America and hit the above website.
It has possibly hundreds of satellite images of what cannot in any sense be natural glyphs and structures on the grounds surrounding Lake Tititaka.
Here is a sample:
Whoever made these artifices, and at what age/time they were made, remain unknown. Literally hundreds, perhaps thousands of square miles of formations.
I know some FReepers are interested in this subject, it certainly seems to me that it might make a bit of a mockery out of any claims that a couple guys crossed the Bering Strait 8000 years ago and that's what started culture in the Western Hemisphere.
Take a look at the pics... they are truly jaw-dropping!
Ping!
you said titty-caca... lol
When you see all that agricultural terracing, you have to ask what happened to the large population that needed it? It’s harder to explain why they felt the need to construct terraces above the snow line.
Lake Titicaca
It’s a subdivision!
A Mayan home owners association?
I’m curious about the people and the timeline. As I said, it sure does seem to smash any theory that man got to South America via North America a piddling ten thousand or so years ago.
Wonder if they can find any organics used in the construction, or possibly small hordes of preserved whatever they were growing? Maybe timbers or something? Something they could carbon date...
It’s pretty darn impressive!!!
I started looking at those a few years ago on Google earth. To say it’s fascinating is like calling the sun “large”. The entire area for hundreds of square miles and into the jungles where it continues because you can still see the lines in the rivers...
Imagine if you will, Los Angelese viewed from the air after a few H bombs detonate above it would look like. Nothing left but the outlines of roads and waterways, ditches and earthworks.
Sort of like a giant flood came and washed everything away... Naw...
To see more in this area, look up Atlantis, Bolivia. Somewhere down there is the remains of some pretty startling structures as well. Like giant lego blocks only extremely intricate and edges that are still razor sharp.
Remember those alien runways, monkeys and spiders drawn on the desert floor that drew such a pizazz back in the 70s? That’s just a tiny bity corner of all the amazing stuff down there.
Considering they didn't have metal shovels, pick axes or wheel barrels, I'd say that's pretty impressive.
This farming was probably done by these people:

Nah...UFO civilization plans gone astray.
I find it hard to believe that all this was functional and productive a mere 500-1000 years ago.
Some of the images show erosions and waterways that would have taken longer than that.
The size of it - the vastness - and what would cause these people to decide “Hey, we’re tired of living next to the ocean with all the fish and stuff, let’s go THIRTEEN THOUSAND FEET UP into the mountains and try to grow coconuts?
I mean something about this simply doesn’t fit the standard archeological and cultural and migrational considerations that have been offered.
Frightened people go to extreme heights.
Think tsunamis on the coasts.
There are tales/myths anoungst the Tibetans that they migrated to the mountains from the coast to escape 'mountain topping' tsunamis.
Hapgood looked at all the terracing around Lake Titicaca that was above the snow line and asked "what's all this then?" Either people lived there long, long ago when the mountains weren't as tall (100s of thousands of years ago), or something made the mountains much taller very, very quickly. Either way, it conflicted with popular science then and now.

LOL
that is funny.
No he didn't.
Read the summary again more carefully...
Or not.
Why must you assume that the snow line then was the same as the current one?
Remember, sudden mass migrations away from certain areas of the US Southwest are still unexplained.
Without nasty "fossil" fuels and CO2 causing climate change, it is simply assumed to be "impossible."
Time to think outside the fraudulent "green" box.
