I write this just to clarify a news message which has been posted on LegendaryTimes  about the theory regarding Nazca, but I of course hope to start of a discussion. Do you think differently about Nazca? Do you have other ideas, a (partially) new look at the mystery? Please tell us!

So what ís the Nazca theory?
With 'cargo cult' we usually mean 'the humanoid habit to imitate', meaning that we see primitive cultures trying to imitate advanced techniques of cultures they come in touch with.
Examples of this behaviour are watches, airplanes and radio's made out of wóód! Of course none of these worked, but the primitive tribes saw the original machines and copied them. In many of Erich von Däniken's books we find examples of this strange, but often amusing, behaviour - and many other antropological studies will show the same.

Now what exactly would the people who made the Nazca lines be imitating?
(By the way : Nó...it weren't astronauts making drawings in the desert...)

It's a bit hard to explain without visuals, in my humble opinion someone high up in the organisation really needs to get some money for hiring a graphic designer for this kind of thing...Okay, so here goes :

Try imagining an airplane landing in the middle of a desert.
The airplane does not land like a helicopter (vertically), but 'slowly' descends and gets nearer to the ground while it flies forward.
Of course the lower the airplane gets, the more sand it will blow away.

The landing of the aircraft will logically leave a rough triangle...

Flashback...

We're back in time, a few thousand years ago...

A rather uncivilized tribe - compared to what they're about to meet - sees how the heavens light up, the people are amazed and scared...a giant 'monster' lands with a terrible noise and fire.
After a short time, the first brave indians dare to get nearer to the mysterious 'monster' and see persons - humanoids - coming out of it...they must be Gods!

But alas...before the men dare to approach their 'Gods' the 'Gods' already leave...their 'monster' makes a terrible noise and causes fire all around when it takes off.

The people want the Gods to return, and after carefully examining the area where the monster stood they find it left traces in the sand : a large triangle.
Perhaps the Gods need such a thing to land? Perhaps the Gods want the people to make such marks?
The entire tribe frantically starts working, generation after generation the work is led by priests - a desperate effort to get the attention of the Gods.

Back in our time...

This theory could be examined in a large number of ways :

- Are there any more traces of ancient astronauts?
- Do these traces include information about landings, more specifically : noise and fire?

More specific :

- Are the triangles and lines the oldest? (With the more complex drawings being made later on when the simple ones appearantly did not caught the attention of the Gods - or perhaps the 'prettier' drawings were made to ensure the Gods would land on théir triangles and not on the ones of another tribe)

Of course, the triangles and lines being the oldest would not proove much - as they are the simplest they are likely to be the oldest anyway, but if prooven otherwise it may proove the above stated theory is wrong.

I suggest...
...that the Erich von Däniken Stiftung  (or something) will finance research - or validate earlier research - finding out if the (or the majority of the) triangles and lines are older than the other drawings
...that the same organisation or any other tries to get some graphical expert to make a clear presentation of what the proposed theory for Nazca is - something we could use on the official sites, or in the MysteryPark

I think Naca is a place in witch a group of people folow a kargo cult like many after them and before them. I think you are to fixed on Erich von Däniken so you can´t make your own teoris verly clear.

I have my owen teori abaut zhis thema i have wirte a referat abaut them a mybe put it online next time. My class in school like it.

Yes...Nazca is the result of a cargo cultus, that is exactly what Erich von Däniken proposes and what I explained in the above message.

I'd really like to see the stuff you wrote, what is the difference with Erich's theories? What you just said is similar...

I try to find a webside to put it online.

Okay
