Nazca Lines Flights

WAS SIND DIE NAZCA-LINIEN?
Der peruanische Archäologe Toribio Mejia Xesspe war der erste, der die Linien 1926 systematisch untersuchte. Da die Linien jedoch vom Boden aus kaum zu identifizieren sind, wurden sie erst mit dem Aufkommen von Flugzeugen, die kommerzielle Flugzeuge überflogen, bekannt Peru in den 1930er Jahren. Der amerikanische Professor Paul Kosok untersuchte und fand sich am 22. Juni 1941 - nur einen Tag nach der Wintersonnenwende - am Fuß einer Linie wieder. Am Ende eines ganzen Tages, als er die Linien studierte, blickte Kosok von seiner Arbeit auf, um den Sonnenuntergang in direkter Linie mit der Linie zu fangen. Kosok nannte die 310 Quadratmeilen große Wüste "das größte Astronomiebuch der Welt".

Auf Kosok folgte die deutsche Maria Reiche, die als Lady of the Lines bekannt wurde. Reiche studierte die Linien seit 40 Jahren und kämpfte unnachgiebig für ihre Theorien über den astronomischen und kalendarischen Zweck der Linien (sie erhielt 1974 ein National Geographic Stipendium für ihre Arbeit). Reiche kämpfte im Alleingang, um die Website zu schützen; Sie wohnte sogar in einem kleinen Haus in der Nähe der Wüste, um die Linien persönlich vor leichtsinnigen Besuchern zu schützen.

Was sind die Linien?
Die Linien sind als Geoglyphen bekannt - Zeichnungen auf dem Boden, die durch Entfernen von Steinen und Erde gemacht wurden, um ein "negatives" Bild zu erzeugen. Die Gesteine, die die Wüste bedecken, sind oxidiert und zu einer tiefen Rostfarbe verwittert, und wenn die obersten 12-15 Zoll Gestein entfernt werden, wird ein heller, kontrastreicher Sand freigelegt. Weil es so wenig Regen, Wind und Erosion gibt, sind die exponierten Designs für 500 bis 2000 Jahre weitgehend intakt geblieben.

Wissenschaftler glauben, dass die Mehrheit der Linien von den Nasca Leuten gemacht wurden, die von ungefähr 1 bis 700 blühten. https://mysteryperu.com/tour-item/nazca-lines-full-day-program-from-lima/

NAZCA LINES

公里南部的納斯卡地區，分佈在納斯卡河和英吉尼奧河之間500多平方公里的干旱高原上，存在巨大的幾何圖案，動物，人類形象和成千上萬的完美直線，持續數公里。地面上的圖像非常龐大，完全觀察它們的唯一方法就是從天而降。它的真正目的是未知的，沒有人真正知道誰製造它們或為什麼？飛過納斯卡沙漠，您可以驚嘆於看到猴子，蜘蛛，蜥蜴和各種鳥類的完美形狀，包括嗡嗡的鳥類，海鳥和強大的安第斯禿鷹。https://mysteryperu.com/tour-item/nazca-lines-full-day-program-from-lima/

Secondo Erich von Däniken, le linee erano luogo di sbarco per gli alieni. Le linee sarebbero state tracciate dalle astronavi di atterraggio. Qualcuno però scartò questa ipotesi a causa del terreno, troppo soffice per sopportare veicoli pesanti. Ma se Erich von Däniken avesse ragione e se gli alieni all'epoca fossero atterrati sulla terra per vedere cosa succedeva qui e per poter prelevare campioni del suolo, ricco di minerali?

What are the Nazca Lines ? What do they mean ? You need to come to the Nazca desert and find it out.....

We had a fantastic time taking in the magnificent and mysterious Nazca lines, and now rank it as one of the 'must-do' things in Peru, if not South America.

Here are our tips to help you do just that.
TAKE ANTI-NAUSEA MEDS
We both definitely have more robust stomachs these days, but this flight can feel a little like being in a fighter plane if you're not used to it! Hard lefts and rights are apparently essential to getting the best view, but can make even the most seasoned traveller a little queasy.

If you have a history of motion sickness, or are a little worried that nausea could ruin your flight, pop a pill before taking to the skies. And, if this doesn't work, there are still sick bags available...

LEAVE YOUR CAMERA BEHIND
We know this probably sounds crazy coming from a couple of photographers but, trust us, you'll appreciate the Lines much more with your own eyes than through a lens. You're only in the air for around thirty minutes and, in this time, will zip over about fifteen shapes etched into the desert.

Some of these can be pretty difficult to spot (despite the pilot's running narrative) and your time over each is fleeting. If you're fumbling about trying to find them, get your camera primed, re-find them and finally take a few photos, the flight will be over before you know it and the experience will not have been so special. Taking photos is also the quickest way to make the nausea worse (we say this from experience!).

Plus, unless you've got a zoom lens on a very decent camera, your photos aren't going to be that great anyway. Sure, maybe take a couple photos throughout the flight for the memory but, believe us, you'll enjoy it so much more if you put the camera away.

TRY AND GET AN EARLY FLIGHT
Whilst the Nazca lines will be impressive at any time of day, pilots that fly regularly state that visibility is better and turbulence lower if you take your flight between 7 a.m. and 10.30 a.m.

There are flights leaving continually, so getting an early one shouldn't be too difficult; just ensure you state this preference when booking with a company.

JUST DO IT!
We cannot recommend highly enough the experience that we had that day. The Lines really are one of history's most enduring and impressive mysteries and to be given the chance to view them from above is not an experience you are likely to forget.

As we've said before, many people come to Peru for Machu Picchu, but we left with the Nazca Lines etched in our mind. SOURCE; www.alongdustyroads.com

Nasca Lines The Buried Secrets

Etched, as if by giants, onto the arid moonscape of Peru´s southern desert lies one of Man's greatest mysteries: the Nasca Lines. More than 15,000 geometric and animal- likepatterns have been discovered criss-crossing the pampas like a vast puzzle.

Who built them and what was their purpose? Ancient racetracks, landing strips for aliens, or perhaps a giant astronomical calendar ? And are the Lines connected to the gruesome discovery of large cache's of severed human heads.

Now, after decades of misunderstanding, modern archaeology may finally have the answer. Excavations in the surrounding mountains are uncovering extraordinary clues about the people who made them and why. A long-since vanished people, called the Nasca, flourished here between 200BC and 700AD. But the harsh environment led them to extreme measures in order to survive.

Archaeologist Christina Conlee recently made an extraordinary find: the skeleton of a young male, ceremonially buried but showing gruesome evidence of decapitation. In place of the missing human head a "head jar" decorated with a striking image of a decapitated head with a tree sprouting from its skull. Conlee wonders who this person was? Why was he beheaded and yet buried with honor.

Was he a captive taken in battle, or could he have been a willing sacrifice? And did his decapitation have anything to do with the lines ? The discovery of large caches of human heads adds grisly weight to Conlee's theories and helps unravel one of Man's great mysteries.

The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. The high, arid plateau stretches more than 80 kilometres (50 mi) between the towns of Nazca and Palpa on the Pampas de Jumana about 400 km south of Lima. Although some local geoglyphs resemble Paracas motifs, scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture between 100 and 650 AD. The hundreds of individual figures range in complexity from simple lines to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks, orcas, and lizards.
