Earth Drawing (Geoglyph) of Hummingbird (Blog 3)

We have all heard about the Nazca Lines located in the Nazca Dessert in Peru. They are these massive lines inserted into the dessert ground and the connected lines make a figure. But these figures can only be seen from the air! 

I recently watched a documentary about Ancient Aliens and through out the documentary they talked about the Nazca lines. They say the people could have done them, but would they have really known what they were drawing? They also say that aliens or extraterrestrials had them done for us to see from the air. So many theories go about how the Nazca lines got to Peru and why they are here for us...or for others out there watching us. 

I find the Nazca lines very interesting. This pictures or figures cover miles and miles of land. Some look like what its being represented and others dont quiet show what is mean to be shown. For example, I forever thought this was an insect of some kind. Until a few years ago my father said "It's a hummingbird." And when I looked at it again, the "hummingbird" image was there. On the right is a "Killer Whale." This one is my personal favorite. It looks like a whale when you first look at it. It's just amazing how these lines who ever made them possible, were able to make animals and other figures on a massive scale. I just adore the Nazca lines. They are just so fascinating to me. When a new documentary comes on, I watch it for new theories or ways it could have been done and why it has been done.
