Geoglyphs ranging from 200m x 200m to 200m x 600m are of manmade continuous lines that when counting switchbacks easily stretch a distance of over 15000m. These linear geoglyphs lines average 1m in thickness, and also contain 180 degree switchbacks turns that might a single or double line. All the lines aim the similar direction, northeast to southwest and appear in three different sized groupings. The largest grouping has a smaller group within it. The three groups each with lines do not appear connected. Except for vantage points, every grouping of lines are etched in an entire area that is relatively flat.

The middle group, also the largest of the three switchback lines, have a semi-circular 10m diameter platform like geoglyph. This middle group also has what appears to be a ceremonial spot.

Each group of switchback lines have their own viewing/vantage point, where a small berm is provided. It is unclear what might be uses for these viewing/vantage points, but one might assume it is given importance. Each of the three viewing/vantage points all seem to be located northeast of the group of lines and all are approximately the same size. Coordinates are given to each and they are shown on the maps. It might be also worth noting the anything that was a hill may have been a vantage point, but the ones that were selected in coordinates seem to be the closest the the switchback lines.

As one more into a westerly direction, the questions arise, how much did the Inca come this direction? Are there more as one nears the coast, or less.. do they follow a path? Is there a trail? Is there a change in technique? Were the ones in this area damaged by storms?

We shall see.

Moving the west direction away from Nasca, are there more lines? What is the farthest Nasca line? Why?

Multi Linear geoglyphs between the distances of 1.5km and 4km must have been one of the greatest feat the Nasca Lines. In this relatively flat area, lines of 3km score this valleys landscape. Multiple scores reveal sixty separate side by side (5m apart) geoglyphs lines that are etched northeast to southeast in one direction and another twenty in east to west side by side 5m apart in another direction. These geoglyphs crisscross each other creating a massive X shape, that can been seen way up over the earth surface and that they seem to connect one plateau with another. More interestingly and with no real understanding quite why, some of the geoglyphic etchings are geometrically straight lines and others seem to allow deviances with curvature and angles. There are also places where lines drop off and others start Some of the lines tend to become groups within themselves, and thus they become their own shape.

As with other lines and shapes, found in regards to the Nazca Lines, the randomness is becoming more and more predicable. For example, just about every time the are drawing are drawn to point a something…

Cracking this code, as many before me have tried, might one of the following.

1) Getting noticed by Gods 2) Telling a story 3) Calendar 4) Star Charts 5) Indicators of sacredness 6) Mix of Ruins, Geoglyphs and Petroglyphs all in the same area.
7) All the lines aim or start from natural locations, lending more homage to star locations, or solar calendars.
8) Location of underground aquafers, underground streams 9) Possible indicators of property owned

In this area a very foggy set of Geoglyph shapes of heads appeared in a row. Did not try to trace them, but just simply count what appeared as heads and circles. Decided to remove this entry. The shapes including some with eyes and mouth may have deciphered but not strong enough, in an area of 90m x 10m in an east to west direction in a rather flat valley. Extremely hard to see, decided to placeholder this for better sat images or delete. .

Awaiting better satellite images.

Two large monolithic 30m man made shapes appear side by side. One of the shapes resemble an oblong square with a trapezoid 5m x 5m box sticking out of it with multiple circular depressions with in it. The other shape appears to be a manmade modified geometric shape sticking with a roundish depression on its topside. Both these shapes appear to have some form of modification on them, but for what reason, it is unclear.

A geoglyph of a giant python snake (210m long x 10m wide) oriented west (head) to east (tail) and located at the top of a large flat hill appears to be slithering away. The sinuous shape of the snake makes an appearance of its body slithering along the ground. It is unclear the reason for this snake, but it could be assumed its direction points to the nearest manner in which to get to the sea.
At the bottom of the hill, to west is another geoglyph called “Gigante”. There are also a few geoglyph shapes at the foot of the hill towards the south.

A 150m Long x 50m Wide geoglyph of a jumping man oriented north to south situated almost upside-down on a moderately sloped hillside that changes elevation almost 40m. The abstract man, seemingly with an outstretched arm over his head and appears too want to take off in flight.
This depictions suggests using natural formation and etchings to create the face and the geoglyph figure. The jumping man has a triangle shaped head, which seems to be referring to the massive numbers of triangles all over the Nazca valley. The triangle could have some references to the elongated head as well.

A geoglyph of what appears to be a 75m x 75m seabird on a slightly sloped 10m elevation difference in the hill. With its beak facing northeast and tail facing southwest, this sideview manmade geoglyph displays a bird and wings in flight head, long beak and one eye. Also visible are the suggestions of feathers and differences between head, body and wings. The seabird bird is less than 3m from the bird of which it attacks.

A geoglyph of a giant head 50m wide x 100m long, oriented north to south, is part natural feature and man-made modifications hidden in a steep hillside with a change in elevation of 40m. Its drawn view give an impression of a huge grinning smiling person with long hair. It has shifty half closed circular shaped eyes, with its face accented in a split tone of dark and light. The giant head’s shape appears abstract, elongated and thin.

Southeast of this artwork is the famous “Hummingbird” geoglyph just 200m away.

A geoglyph of a face wearing a crown, 18m long x 10m wide, oriented east (chin) to west (crown) is seems to be located under the geoglyph called Lounging Cat. Fairly noticeable is an impression of a large face with two eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a crown. The face’s eyes look straight forward with its mouth that seems to be open as if calling or making a sound. The crown, is suggested to be worn on the head, with large circular shaped ornaments. The head lays on slight hill.

Less than 3m away from the “Face Wearing Crown” is the “Lounging Cat”.

Twenty two geoglyph head shapes in two groups are situated sided by side and oriented north to south. The heads have sizes ranges of 10m wide x 150m long. Included the group of figures, there is also an etching of a cat laying sideways oriented east to west. The laying cat is approximately 15m x 50m and can be located as the 3rd figure from the right of the group of geoglyphs. All the figures lay on a low slope that rises 20m height in 150m of length. Also suggested in the geoglyph etchings is a large leaf (face?) and another etching of a tree (something else?). To the southwest of the valley there is at least five other valleys, that possibly other additional visible shapes might be recognized there.

In the immediate area, within 200m of the string of figures are multiple triangular shaped geoglyphs of either shapes or lines.

There will be an additional follow up in this area in the near future.

Multiple geoglyphs sizes ranging from 50m to over 300m on a slight slope of of land express on a ridge trail animals, shapes and supernatural. If there is a story in regards to these etches on this mountain side, there seems to be a relationship between natural and supernatural. There also seems to be a cycle of themes, and recurring dreams or other explanation to gods.

Several of these geoglyphs define fire, ruling, war, underworld, spirituality and even other cosmic or astronomical situations, including the supernatural and the life beyond.

Geoglyph of an Incan Warrior 75m Wide x 150m long, is an etching of a man with a helmet, sword and shield from the waist up. There are no indications of his legs and feet. Etched as a geoglyph on a slight slope oriented north to south and its figure is facing forward. This Incan Warrior appears that it is actively giving a speech or a war cry while raising his fist as some sort of expression. He wears body protection, with a facemask that has pointed horns and a chin guard with eye/face protection. He seems to be part of an organized warrior with traits and customs related to protection and attack. He is etched on rock, holding a sword (machete), that is almost 50m long. It is unclear as to why he had been drawn on the rock. A long forgotten hero?

To his immediate right, is what looks like a geoglyph of a ghost, possibly suggesting the death of an opponent. On his immediate left is another ghost like feature. This second ghost had been etched upside down and over some previous etchings that will requiring better resolution to better understand this geoglyph.

Spanish: Geoglifo de Dieu Incas con Serpiente

The geoglyph of the Dieu Incas with Serpent is over 100m wide x 200m long. Oriented north to south, it sits on a moderate slope surrounded by other geoglyphs telling a themed story. Its profiled head, body and snake headwear faces east and the figure of this subject becomes less and less distinguishable below its waist. The depiction is a man, carrying a backpack, with a large python snake coiled on its headdress. It looks down staring at its hand. Both the snake and him are directing their view to the same place, but its difficult to determine exactly what. He has long hair, wears a thick coat and one can see his backpack is tightly bundled with what appears as ropes. In its backpack it carries the head of a cadaver, and helmet and some other stowed items.

A side view of an octopus geoglyph 25m long x 20m wide shows an etching of eight arms and two eyes, facing east on a moderate sloped land. Its arms loosely coil with one of its eight arms appearing to be holding on to some sort of object. It is unclear what is the purpose or what was intended by drawing of this octopus

There is another geoglyph to the east of the octopus, It is unclear what if there is any relationship this octopus geoglyph has to that object. .

The 60m wide x 70m long front facing geoglyph of the Sun God is oriented close to northeast to southwest. This representation shows a stern jawline and stern mouth, two piercing eyes, and prominent nose lays on a moderate slope. The artwork has shoulder length hair and feather headdress like crown. The face depicts high cheekbones. There is no references to a torso arms or legs. The head faces straight forward, with little understanding on how it related to other nearby geoglyphs.

To the left of this geoglyph (5m) is a 25m x 25m geoglyph, It seems to be oriented in the same direction as the geoglyph of Sun God, but how its related is not clear.

The Geoglyph of the Groove Bill, 210m long x 100m wide is of a flying bird heading pointing in the westerly direction. The etching shows a side view of a body, and extended wing is propped over its body, with a long tail fluttering behind. Situated on a land surface of moderate slope along with many other geoglyphs might suggest this flying bird depiction might be part of an story. Other geoglyphs near this animal image, might or might not be necessarily related.

The geoglyph of the emu 75m wide by 150m long and oriented north to south on a moderate sloped terrain depicts an emu feeding from the ground. The bird is facing the viewer but also turned towards the east. There are suggestions of heavy feathering for the animal, but the current sat image is unclear if suggestions of repeated coloration changes that might be representative of long plumes of feathers were intentional for the animal. Look along of the animal’s head, neck and back. The artist rendition of the animal gives it ergonomic stature and gives the feeling this animal is a survivor. It is unknown at this time whether or not this image is related to other nearby geoglyphs. The three toed, long legs, body, long neck head and beak are etched wonderfully. It is unclear if the animal is related to the other nearby geoglyphs and exactly if there is additional stories to be told regarding this artwork.

One huge question I have about time used in tracing Nazca lines and its shapes, is the lack of certain geometries, one would expect. Very often, long distances of perfectly straight lines, with long acute angles are common, as with lots of evidence where two lines starting rather close to each other might meet many meters away to a single point.

What seems rare is having multiple lines being the same exact length, and perfect right angles. Angles that are 90 degrees or that angles of 30 or 45 degrees, perfect circles, semi circles and/or use of tangents are never seen or given much importance. The uses of golden sections, and those proportions, never seem to be given much importance. Curves and tangents from other shapes and curves are occasionally shown, plus those that relate to a specific shape or object might be well represented. significant geometric importance. One also would expect to see more use of Pi, but without true perfect squares, rectangles or circles, any calculation using Pi is also not given any special importance. There also doesn’t seem to be much whole number equally divided segmented distances. While occasionally a line might bisect, its for more organic than just that therefore not based on any grid pattern.

A geoglyph of a Flying Pelican 125m x 100m depicts the bird heading west.
The shape reveals a pelican diving for food, revealing a side view of a head, eye, pouch like beak, wings, tail, body and two feet. There is a long geoglyph of a single 125m line that suggests under the pelican that there is the ocean surface.. In regards to details provided by the artist and seen from satellite, the pelican’s pouch appears properly scored, with a hook at the very tip of its beak.
