I really like your explanation and the expectations of each. I think it will be a matter of time that high resolution, lidar enabled, heat sync and even ocean/ice/snow topo maps with the highest degree of zoom will enabled as selectable. I am aware that there privacy issues, but for places that do not mind, we can hope for the best.

It would be nice too that topo maps with variables in contour lines be possible in default select that we might if we choose be able to see two or more overlapping maps can be visible. Also, the selector tool could also provide what lines, labels and renderings might look like as a finished product, even possibly a 3d view. I think also a time selector might be available to be able to show age of images, and then potential to remove trees/shrubbery and enhance rich content.

Thanks for the feedback. I promise to not get “too” creative. :)

Most my traces of shapes are presented to get a second opinion. Some are then shown in front of a group of individuals, a peanut gallery as sorts.

Assist in viewing: Decreasing the brightness and increasing the contrast/sharpness can assist in viewing the shapes. Also, minor modifications to what hill might be then becomes a geoglyph shape because what appears to resemble an “eye” or “mouth” on a hill bluff that then makes it looks like a head. At the time of this writing, there are other nearby figures that seem fictional, and of course those are omitted and later cross referenced when updated maps may reveal more or less.

Lastly, trapezoidal shapes (which are typically easier to see) tend to accompany hillside figurative geoglyphs.

Perhaps Alien Landing Field.. ALF…

Revising all the diaries (ongoing) to better describe the geoglyphs. (ongoing)

It was first believed this was Geoglyph of a wasp, but after carefully reviewing the linework it was then determined this is a shrimp and possibly being chased by a puffer fish to its south. .

Hi Andy..

I used the Aerial Provider Bing Maps. I then used Maxar Premium (Beta) to confirm its overall view. With Bing, you can sort of see the shapes… with Maxar you can see the snake head(s).more clearly.

Hi Andy

Couple of thoughts:

I just keep wondering if what these people did, was to try to talk to the Gods. Then those Gods were in fact nothing more than modern day satellites that would see their giant geoglyph art closing the circle why they created this work in the first place.

How is it, that in some thousands and thousands of lines and geoglyphs, of which I’ve now I can contest that I’ve only seen a fraction, and trace, that not once a perfect 90 degree geometry showed up. This is quite opposite of anything the Egyptians, Greeks or even Aztecs had created. Stars? Mountain peaks, locations of trees would have been their only means of creating those lines? But if those stars, mountain peaks or trees would have been those means, why is it that more times than not, closed triangular shapes are so similar?

Lastly.. the people they chosen to etch on faces of rocks… Having to look at any of them, sort of tells a story.. Many face west towards the nearby ocean, while oriented north to south. This makes me wonder if whether or not even more would appear, say upside-down, and I am not even finding many of those.

Regards,

amazing work.. I hope to be inspired.. I would like to use the JOSM editor a lot more than I do…

awaiting updated scans to review.

Hi… update map location. Should be there now.

14°53′4″S, 74°53′6″W -14.8843782, -74.8849005 Vista Alegre, Province of Nasca, Ica, Peru

= been cleaning up dairy more than just incomplete / incoherent placeholders… I’ve been starting with the latest ones and working back in time.

Edited out some defined details be better established. Its suspected that feathers can be picked out and created in this petroglyph. Refer to the bird on this Emu’s right titled: Petroglifo de aparece como un ave marina, where one can clearly see the differentiated bird feathers from its body vs. its head. This same thing could also be from the Emu, to be determined.

Updated location of Lounging Cat to Map.

Marcos, please see if you can view my edits on that cat? Thanks.

Please look now, I re-pinned the location. The pointer was a little bit to the South from where I had it.

I’m looking for a patterns and attributes. I would think there has to be a category for each and every shape. I do believe the artists always had been aware of the work prior to an earlier work. While perseveration is very good in the Inca plains I am thinking there was bustling society immediately after the third ice age

I was able to discern two more figures changing, which now has 12 figures. All I can say is when I go to Google Earth, it is next to impossible to not see the figures.
People in the town of Changuillo might find it easier to see the figures from an air balloon say 300 feet up.

Elongated Headed Figures from Left to Right looking North

Figure 01 - Seated person with a robe figure starting from the far left Figure 02 - Elongated headed mother with long straight hair, resting her head on her left hand. Figure 03 - Carried by “mother elongated headed baby coveted behind her right arm and hand.
Figure 04 - Sharman wearing a long headdress that covers ears. Figure 05 - Dignitary with large headdress with open hand gesture. Figure 06 - Wide eyed elongated headed figure with ornamented headwear.
Figure 07 - Elongated figure with tight fitting cap headdress Figure 08 - Possible alien, with very elongated skull. Almond wide eyes Figure 09 - Elongated headed person looking down, possibly towards Nazca shapes.
Figure 10 - Pensive looking figure, wrapped headed bandage Figure 11 - Deformed figure wears shawl. Figure 12 - Droopy elongated headed person, on far right.

There is an assortment of geometric shapes in the area.

All my lines have tags. I don’t think it lets you save if you cannot have a tags on lines. I know you to see the figures you want to check “Map Notes and Map Data” and the figures show up in blue.
