Apparently, overcompensating has been going on for centuries.

"The image is 65 meters long, and appears to be an animal with horns."

Too bad. If it looked like Jesus and was on a piece of rye toast, they coulda made some money on Ebay.

I hope this will appear enlarged and still holding resolution to everyone as it does on my screen.

Maybe the space aliens were showing what kind of earthlings could be found there.

Maybe that's the origin of that "wicked man" on the hill in England.

There is a picture of Elvis on Mars, so what is the big deal.

Stretching across the Nazca plains like a giant map or blueprint left by ancient astronauts, lie the famous Nazca Lines of Peru. Peru is associated with the Incan Civilization who many link with alien visitors who still interact with local people to this day.

The Nazca Lines are an engima. No one has proof who built them or why. Since their discovery, the Nazca Lines have inspired fantastic explanations from ancient gods, a landing strip for returning aliens, a celestial calendar created by the ancient Nazca civilization -- putting the creation of the lines between 200 BC and 600 AD, used for rituals probably related to astronomy, to confirm the ayllus or clans who made up the population and to determine through ritual their economic functions held up by reciprocity and redistribution, or a map of underground water supplies.

The Nazca Plateau ~
Where Human History Touches the Sky !
Perhaps this century's most amazing tangible discovery
and our contribution to science is a freeway running through it

Neat.

Two parts of the picture, that appear to be horns, bear close resemblance to those that appear on earthenware dating from 100 B.C. to A.D. 600, during the time when the Nazca kingdom flourished, and it is thought that they relate to fertility rites

Why is it that all these finds seem to have something to do with fertility rites.
