Geoglyphs and lines in the region of Nazca
This big table shows indications about the geoglyphs and lines in the region of Nazca
	Text about geoglyphs and lines in the region of Nazca in Spanish and in English <Geoglyphs One of the most remarkable expressions of the Nasca culture was the gigantic geoglyphs drawn on the barren plains and hillsides of the region. They usually depict zoomorphic and geometric motive designs. Some researchers claim the geoglyphs represent an oversize astronomic calendar used to keep the record of sun solstices and of the relation constellations / climatic events relevant to agricultural activities. Others believe the figures were of a ritual importance as sacred paths, totemic images, or images related to the water cult or the mountain cult.> Erich von Däniken and many indications indicate that these lines, runways and geoglyphs are made by extraterrestrials.
Well, and now there is an important thing: These lines, runways and line images (geoglyphs) are not limited in Nazca region, but are distributed in the whole Ica province as one can see on the map. According to Erich von Däniken and many indications these geoglyphs in the Ica province are target marks for the landing of extraterrestrial space ships, and the airport were the runways of Nazca and Palpa.
