The Mysteries of Nazca
In the desert of Peru, 300 kilometers from Lima, one of the most unusual artworks in the world has mystilied(迷惑)people for decades. (46)But from high above, these marks are huge Images of birds, fish, seashells, all beautifully carved into the earth.
The Nazca lines are so difficult to see from the ground that they weren’t discovered unti the 1930s, when phots spotted potted
them while flying over the area. In all, there are about 70 different human animal figures on the plain, along with 900 triangles, circles,
and lines.
Researchers have figured out that the lines are at least 1,500 years old, but their purpose is still a mystery. (47)
However, it would probably be very tricky to land a spaceship in the middle of pictures of dogs and monkeys.
In the 1940s, an Americai explorer named Paul Kosok suggested that the drawings were a chronicle (记录)of the movement
of the stars and planets. (48) Later, an astronomer tested his theory with a computer,but he couldn’t find any relation
between the lines and mbvements in space .
Another explanation is that the lines may have been made for religious reasons. British researcher Tony Morrison investigated the
customs of people in the Andes Mountain and learned that they sometimes pray by the side of the road. It’s possible that in the past,
the lines of Nazca were created for a similer purpose._ (49) But the local people have never constructed Anything this big.
Recently, two other scientist, David Johnson and Steve Mabee, have speculated that the lines could have been releted to water.
Nazca is one of the driest places in the world and receives only 2 cm of rairt every year. While Johnson was searching for ancient water
sources in the lines. Johnson believes that the Nazca lines are a giant map of the underground water in the ares. (50)
