Nasca Lines: The Buried Secrets - NG special
On Sunday, Feb 21, 2010, the National Geographic Channel
presented a new documentary, Nasca Lines: Buried Secrets, from
Edge West Productions, directed by celebrated British documentarian Philip J. Day. This in-depth doc brings new light to
the lines and the mysteries surround their construction and
purpose. Recent archeological discoveries documented in the show
give new insights to the people purported to have built the
lines—their society, religion, practice of human sacrifice and
much, much more.

Are they ancient road maps or messages for visiting aliens?
Lying at the foothill of Peru's Andes Mountains is the site of one
of the world's greatest mysteries. Etched, as if by giants, onto
its arid, moonscape plains are immense lines that stretch for
miles, forming strange shapes recognizable only from the air. Now,
a team of specialists from around the globe has come to southern
Peru to investigate the Nasca Lines in the hope of uncovering
their secrets.

Three mysterious aspects to Nazca Plateau

(CLICK on the image to enlarge)
-
First, the straight lines, many kilometers long,
crisscross sectors of the pampas in all directions (as shown on
images above). Many of the
lines appear to be random and seem to have no pattern to them.

-
Second, many of the lines form geometric figures:
angles, triangles, bunches, spirals, rectangles, wavy lines, etc.
Other lines form concentric circles converging with or emanating
from a promontory. Other prints have formed "roads" like
geometric planes and appear to have been occupied by large groups of
the population.



Could these geoglyphs
be effigies of ancient animal gods or patterns of constellations? Are they
roads, star pointers, maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here
2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct
such precise figures? Did they have a plan? If so, who ordained it? It all seems
so otherworldly. To comprehend the Nasca lines, created by the removal of desert
rock to reveal the pale pink sand beneath, visitors have proposed every
imaginable explanation - from runways for spaceships to tracks for Olympic
athletes, from op art to pop art, to astronomical observatories.
It is believed that the geoglyphs were built by a people called the Nasca- but why and
how they created these wonders of the world has defied explanation.
As much as the
lines awe us, we marvel equally at the imagination of the people who have sought
explanations for them.

This is another strange road in the Pisco region in Peru. It is
about 20m wide and goes for many miles through the desert.
It is
lighter than its surroundings and marked by small craters
spread apart by approximately 200m.

If you know what are
items 1-10 marked on the Google Earth satellite photos below, please
send us your feedback. Perhaps it is a military installation,
however few of the areas are difficult to interpret. One of the
"landing strips" looks ancient ( see erosion marks).

Comment about the above image from an electrical
engineer in California:
From the shadows and the three distinct
dimensional groups within the white outlined area, it looks like an
antenna array for three distinct frequency bands. They are out there
away from inhabited areas for the same reason our govt and private
researches put their antennas in remote areas.

Ancient (or new?) "coloring picture"? [above]
See the image below (rotated and color-filled photo
above):

PS
Another interesting "site" is located 14 km East from
the "air strip". This one shows few airplanes suggesting that we are
looking at the Chinese army grounds... Is it equivalent of the Area
51 in US?...

And just near the East edge of the Dunhuang there are
many of "square outlines"
(the area seems to be a military base):

Mysterious Marks Near Dunhuang, China
by JD Branson
There are some mysterious marks which some call airports near the
ancient city of Dunhuang in Gansu Province, I believe. I will
provide solid evidence that these are nothing like an airport that I
have ever heard of and I am a retired engineering manager and a
pilot.
If one goes to Google earth an enters the latitude and longitude
provided on the bottom of the first image, you can move the cursor
around and see that the marks are not built up in elevation as an
airport would be. Road graders and compactors are needed to pack a
field sufficiently to safely take the extreme pressure that landing
gears make at times. Any yielding of the dirt would cause the plane
to spin out of control. Of course, there are no support buildings or
taxiways to parking areas.

How old is this Chinese landing strip on the left? Click on this last image to enlarge.
I am a retired engineer doing research with Google Earth. I
analyzed image of the "Chinese Airport". The total outside
perimeter of the left (west) airport is 22360.6 feet, somewhat
precisely the square root of 5. The outer perimeter of the
dark section is 22360.6 / 16 / A where A= E -1 = 1.718281828,
the fractal portion of natural log base E. I seriously doubt
anybody in modern times would design anything like that.
One may also see that common truck traffic has made tracks out
across a number of the marks and therefore it cannot be paved or a
prepared surface. If the marks were graded and compacted, they would
be nearly perfectly level lengthwise and side to side. When tracing
the contour with GE they still show the general contour of the area
around them.
Water erosion on the west mark indicates that this desert area
was once quite a bit moister and the marks were already there during
heavy rains or snow runoff. Even the darker colored areas which one
might be tempted to think are paved show signs of erosion.
For higher resolution, click on the image below:

There are some simple considerations to prove the designs are
inter-related. The left mark has the perimeter traced in green and
the center likewise in yellow. Both of these perimeters are 22360.6
feet in length, plus or minus a few feet. The red line connecting
the SW corner of the east mark with the center angle of the NW mark
is also this same length, which most people will realize is the
square root of 5 = 2.236068. This is also the source number for the
sacred number of phi (1.618033989) used repeatedly in natural
events.
Then I have also shown using orange that the right mark points at
the left end of the northwest angle mark. The distance is 4000 x pi
= 12,566.37 plus or minus a few feet. Then too I have marked in
purple some lines indicating the left mark is probably pointing at
events in the center mark. All these events cannot be accidental.
But there are far too many mathematical relationships being
developed using AutoCAD and MathCAD software to describe no and they
will be dealt with later.
I am not at all certain why the center and the right mark show up
so brightly on Google earth but I have seen this type of phenomena
before and it could be something in the Google software that causes
it to be so pronounced. But there actually are some patterns in both
of those marks that resemble bar coding systems which I will develop
later.
The purpose of this article is to remain simple and not bore
people with complex mathematics. The marks below are just east and
west of the huge marks above.

These marks could contain an encyclopedia of data if one breaks the
coding. The near square in the bottom left is not only oriented true
north at an azimuth of 360 degrees (also zero) but the length is
2777.77 feet which is the reciprocal of 36 times 10,000. This seems
likely some type of signal to provide methodologies for more complex
solutions.
One might wonder why I am using feet instead of meters, and the
answer is simple…..it works. There could be other systems in metric
units, but I have not discovered them yet. The pattern on the bottom
right is yielding some mind boggling relationships. Note the water
erosion across some of the pattern, again indicating it could be
really ancient.
I am not trying to indicate that these patterns are necessarily
derived from anything like ancient aliens or even abnormal human
abilities like savants. I am just trying to provide insight into the
design. I fully expect that the ultimate solutions will provide
convincing evidence as to what type of intelligence put them there.

International explorer,
archaeologist and author
Jonathan Gray has traveled the world
to gather data on ancient mysteries. He has penetrated some
largely unexplored areas, including parts of the Amazon
headwaters. The author has also led expeditions to the bottom
of the sea and to remote mountain and desert regions of the
world. He lectures internationally.
"Dead Men's Secrets" by Jonathan Gray is 373 pages
of discovering ancient technology and lost secrets.
Do not miss his new books that followed "Dead Men's Secrets":Book 1 –
"The Killing Of... PARADISE PLANET" lays out stunning evidence of a
once-global paradise,
with a temperature-controlled climate, idyllic
landscape and long-lived human giants… but a super culture
ready to wipe
itself out. The world BEFORE the Great Flood of 2345 BC
Book 2 –
"SURPRISE WITNESS" shows what happened DURING that great Deluge
- the cosmic calamity that ripped the Earth to shreds and wiped out the
original Mother Civilization. Not only were the antedeluvian people
buried, but their technological achievements were destroyed, including all
form of machinery and construction. The skeptic may shout himself hoarse. But this event surely happened.
We have evidence that is more substantial than for any other event of
history.
Book 3 –
"The Corpse CAME BACK!"
Now comes the fast moving, fascinating
story of the settling down
of Planet Earth AFTER the Flood, and its effect
upon human history.
