One of the world’s greatest ancient enigmas, the Nazca lines are a dense network of criss-crossing lines, geometric shapes, and animal figures etched across 200 square miles of Peruvian desert. Who created them and why? Ever since they were rediscovered in the 1920s, scholars and enthusiasts have raised countless theories about their purpose. Now, archaeologists have discovered hundreds of long-hidden lines and figures as well as evidence of ancient rituals, offering new clues to the origins and motivations behind the giant desert symbols.

I’m American Indian from MT. We’ve had viscous fights with the US Government and the dirty oil business. They both use fracking to obtain oil and then leave our land and water toxic. Water is life without we parish. We constantly remind them that we can’t drink oil nor money in future times. Mother Earth needs more protections!
❤
It's no mystery I had to draw out the ending first did you not notice the size of the drawings…this was to remind them of the first punishment of God …the allgothum the hell spiders
It’s not the pompous cat, it’s the pampas cat. Remember it’s pampas grass and pompous ass. LOL
Landing strips
they are just lines…. the eye sees what it wants to see… oftentimes what happens is the brain sees images that arent actually there… it is a common phenomema
How many times are we going to do this? How many more dead civilization's do we need to find before we stop overextending the land? We know what happened and it's always the same. We know better and still do it. Humans are the worst 🤯
100% correct highly advanced civilization going back hundreds of millions of years was highly advanced human civilization networking across the planet. We have a lot to learn if you choose your choice.
This is a very sound and plausible explanation for the origin and history of the Nazca Lines. I think they've done it!
Good work everyone! 😃👍
So, Nazca isn't the actual name of the people who created these lines, they're just named after a local river by contemporary 'scientists'; they left no written record of who they actually were, how long they lived in the area, or their belief system, and ya'll present this story as if you know everything about these people, and that the 'Nazca' Lines are just some artwork they did because they were bored. At the same time, dismissing all other theories as to the origin and purpose of such elaborate geoglyphs. Love how you take a colossal mystery and turn it into a story about some simple desert people who weren't intelligent enough to think beyond drawing some lines in the dirt.
"The desert hillsides have long been overlooked…" Where do you come up with these comments?? It's been known for as long as the lines have been seen that there are glyphs on the hillsides as well. Seriously, like the guys in this doc are the first to 'discover' the images on the hillsides. Ridiculous.
btw, you can't date any of these drawings. So how do you know what was done first or second?? you don't.
Informative and engaging, much appreciated
It was probably just something to do to express themselves. We always try to read more into it than was actually planned.
all this was probably created from a child giant who was creative. 17ft tall giants
This has been debunked and explained. Ain't no Damm fuccin aliens .

This guy has done the research. It's all so simple .
The magic carpet ride was real 😉
Wasn't like they had television….
🖤🍻🍺
As someone who was born in Peru but grew up in the states. I am so proud to watch what great things my ancestors made and to see their appreciation to mother nature.
I learned so much more than I knew, but the large generalizations from just a few things about the history of the cultures and the uses of the lines and structures I don't blindly accept. But it's still all so wonderful and mysterious.
Charles and Henry are feeding a false narrative of their interpretation of understanding
These were made when Nazca mothers got annoyed with their kids and told them to go outside and play. Bored kids played with rocks.
You'd think that monkey wouldnt look like it was drawn by a toddler…
The translations are not that accurate I would’ve rather listen to them in Spanish with subtitles you could read but for example one of the Peruvian archaeologists says that these lines were made for men by men but the translation changes it what he says made by people for people. Please don’t do that. And don’t promote AI. Although the technology is useful it will never create Nazca lines nor a civilization as beautiful as this and many across the world.
Also and this seems to be a pattern that many point to other civilization before the native indigenous civilizations that were there. That’s the same as that whole ancient aliens things where it suggested that the original peoples from that region aren’t capable of great feats or sophisticated art science. And while you’re at it can you remove the annoying music And make a serious real documentation instead of all these science fiction graphics and CGI weird overlays thank you.
On a positive there are some amazing things shown especially that textile it is absolutely beautiful which is an indication just like many of the ancient artifacts that have been discovered that art is not of a college not of an educational institution it comes from somewhere else inside the people their culture their blood it’s almost genetic if not entirely genetic.
It is so stupid that EVERYTHING is an "idol"! EVERY PLACE is a place of worship! How freaking stupid! Time to move forward and away from the Darwin era! People actually LIVED in places. They bought, sold, traded, ate, slept, communed! NOT EVERY PLACE DUG UP WAS A PLACE OF SACRIFICE NOR RITUALS! Geeze! Grow up and grow out of that thinking! Some people actually USED these items for everyday use! Some people actually used those items just to eat their daily meals with! Lord Jesus have mercy! We are SO SICK of the RITUALISTIC BS! Geeze! NOT ALL CULTURES worshipped the stars NOR did they track them! Where on the Earth have we found that people just lived? Just lived!
Again with this? I thought it was settled that they were religious processional routes decades ago.
I believe its not from ancient ancestors.. but put there from beings on base reality.. and place we call earth this is a simulation.
Thank you Nova, Peru is spectacular..
peru is just awsome like so many places on our stunning planet
There's zero proof any people living in the region now had anything to do with the "Nazca" desert or any structures .Any pottery or other art matching them is likely people imitating what they found there..duh .
The paracas were a group of the ancient Egyptians that traveled to and settled in South America.
Uhh..not one mention about them actually being landing strips for aliens? This was just a bunch of rational, highly educated people, talking about their decades of research.BORING….
I think they were appeals to the gods for certain types of climate and terrain phenomenons. As in a monkey needs a leafy jungle and the hummingbird needs plants with flowers…etc… therefore the gods will see these creatures and grant their needs to the area.
goes all the way north through salida co amd finishes st the base of a mountain, south near mew mexico shoots due e and w at the tail of the mountain range
So nova shares it for free on YouTube, but comcast removes the episode after like 2 weeks and wants you to pay for a subscription to watch. Thank you for sharing this
Really fascinating! There must be connections with the ruins in cuczo and puma punko in Bolivia,(right in the general area geologically ) and Mach picchu. All within a close large area in the map. Yes they say its builders where from this and that, but i feel there must be some ancient connection there. And also i was looking on goggle map with the satellite view, and theres weird lines going out from the nazca area out into the ocean floor. Creepy stuff! Lol the nazca lines always intrigued me since i was a lil kid and i first read about this, among alot of other ancient places on earth. I think there were also ancient giant human race in the very distant past that had a role in this whole stage! Watch some of Mr. klaus dona's findings too and his research recently as well.
the spiral may be a symbol for cannibalism
everybody seems very concerned with 'the elites' don't they?
i wish white people could be proud of their past and accomplishments
Everything is either an old ceremonial, religious or ritual center or a tomb to these people. Maybe it was just their version of a truckstop/shopping mall/whatever. Maybe the geoglyphs were advertising billboards, or the nazca version of highway information signs giving travelers directions and rest stop info.
This seems to be their nature to cut off head's and eating human flesh
Or they were religious art. Creating these designs maintaining them could have given the culture a unifying sense of purpose & unity.
Such religious art could be an attempt to preserve even more ancient knowledge
