The Nazca Lines
|
 |
In the desert in Peru, there are lines on the ground called Nazca lines. The Nazca people made them years ago. The Nazca lines form pictures that you can see from the air, and some of them are very complicated. Some people have claimed that the Nazca lines were made as landing strips for alien spaceships, but these lines are not proof of aliens.
Believers ask why the Nazca lines are there, as if the best reason why people would make these lines is for aliens spaceships. But lots of scientists say that people could have used the lines for rituals. Maybe if it didn't rain, the Nazca people walked through the lines to get rain gods to make rain, for example.
Believers also say that the Nazcas couldn't have made the lines, since the pictures can only be seen from the sky. That's not true. You can draw a small picture, and then measure it to enlarge the drawing on the ground.
The simplest explanation for something is usually the best one. Is it simpler that people held rituals or that they knew aliens? Is it simpler that people drew a large picture from a small picture or that they were directed by aliens? Since there are lots of good explanations for the Nazca lines, there's no reason to say they are proof of aliens.
