Huge Images Created Across the Rocky Landscape of Chile

The Atacama Geoglyphs are more numerous and widespread than their more famous counparts at Nazca. They are found in the Chilean Atacama desert in the nort east of the country. They can be found in an area of over 100 square miles . They depict many subjects, Llamas and similar animals e.g. vicunas. Lizards, fish, birds, crosses, humans, chessboards and other geometric designs. They can be found alone or in groups some as many as 65 geoglyphs. The smallest figure is about 1m tall and the largest the Atacama Giant 115m high. They are found near major trade routes in the area and like all geoglyphs can only be seen from the air. Dating these geoglyphs is very difficult as newer ones have been overlaid, there is some evidence that they may be 2500 years old.

Do you realize that the terraces picture you have posted looks (from the air) very much like a front end loader being driven by a recumbent alien?

Could this be a signal to Gods from Space that the incas broke or wore out the great machines left by alien visitors and need more of them?

Perhaps this is the reason the culture ultimately failed—the lack of machines necessary for moving huge stones and building terraces.

NEATO!

"Perhaps this is the reason the culture ultimately failed—the lack of machines necessary for moving huge stones and building terraces."

That's been known for decades.

The Llama is a quadruped
which lives in big rivers like the Amazon.
It has two ears, a heart, a forehead,
and a beak for eating honey,
but it is provided with fins for swimming.
Llamas are larger than frogs.
Llamas are dangerous, so if you see one
where people are swimming, you shout,

[wildbill]

Yes, the theory about the lack of machines has been around for a while, but you have discovered, albeit second-hand, a picture which proves that the ancient incas knew about front end loaders.

I suggest you send the pic to Erich Von Daeniken who could write a new book, “Front End Loaders of the Gods”

Why am I not surprised that there are pyramids in the Canary Islands? I just got back from Ireland and saw stuff there that predates the Egyptian pyramids.

Our Irish driver pointed out a big clump of trees on a hill and explained it was an old stone fort from the Middle ages. I just rolled my eyes. It was obviously a Druid Sacred Grove. I'll bet if it was excavated, it has a well with a whole oak tree in it.

Mind you, llama bytes can be nasti

It sounds like an interesting field of study.

Fascinating, but I am shocked, shocked, that no one has pointed this out:

The one-l lama, he's a priest;
The two-l llama, he's a beast;
And I will bet my silk pyjama,
There isn't any three-l lllama.
