OVER 140 NEW NAZCA LINES—INCLUDING STRANGE HUMANOIDS—DISCOVERED IN PERU
Newsweak ^ | 11/18/19 | Rosie McCall

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.

I don’t think man is capable of comprehending God’s grand plan. Doesn’t thinking of infinity make your brain melt too? Thinking of where the Voyagers are headed boggles my mind.

It's only part of a much larger glyph of Charlie Brown.

Ancient people had a lot of time on their hands and not much to do.

Oh Good Grief.

It’s amazing to me that people think that something exhibiting in areas where people have lived for thousands of years, must be from ‘aliens’.

(They are giving pretty short shrift to human beings and the intelligence of same.)

People tend to do that because they attribute less capable technology with intelligence.

You may need to be *more* intelligent to survive with less effective tech.

My studies of history and prehistory indicate most older populations were as smart as us, if not smarter.

They were limited by tech, but not because of a lack of intelligence.

A geoglyph of Helen Thomas would likely repel any and every other world invader.
