The double labyrinth is a particularly hard nut to crack. In an aerial view of Palpa, one sees

three narrow, absolutely straight, parallel lines appear from nowhere. Each ends in a right angle ina broader paper-clip. Five of these paper-clips stand in a row next to one another

like a rank of soldiers, and are connected to one another at their base.

A threefold line south of Palpa is particularly intriguing, a riddle begging to be solved. At firstglance one might think there are only two lines, which begin somewhere or other and run parallel,at a distance of 2 meters from each other, like wheel tracks. But on closer observation, this turns

out to be an optical illusion: only the right-hand trail consists of one line, while the left-handone is formed of two lines separated by only a hairs breadth.

The hummingbird is the largest of the many scrape drawingsdocumented in Nazca. It measures 250 meters.

Close to the place where the plain suddenly slopes down into the Ingenio valley lies a spiral of sixcircles with an S-turn in the middle. The outermost circle is 80 meters in diameter. Passing straight

through the spiral to its center runs a path that starts 50 meters below in the valley.

In this aerial view of Nazca, one can see a clearly recognizable runway, about 70 meters broad

and 800 meters long. At the edge of a cliff to the right of the runway is a spiral, and then,carved like a tattoo on skin, a broad zigzag pattern. This zigzag pattern runsin such a

pronounced way that blind people would be able to make it outunder the runway.

In the Ingenio valley, between the plain of Nazca and the mountains of Palpa, lie two

runways of the most modern design: from the end of one, a kind of slipwaybranches off and then runs parallel to the main runway.

Two figures from Dr. Janvier Cabreras collection. To the left, a human being (with thehead of a bird) rides a pterosaur. To the right, a human figure looks through a

telescope, which he holds in both hands.

In 1970, Dr. Janvier Cabrera received as a birthday present a small stone engraved with a verycurious motif. It was a kind of pterosaur, ridden by an Indian who controlled it with a staff.

A stone from Dr. Janvier Cabreras collection. An engraving of a heart transplantbut where wasthe heart/lung machine necessary for it? Why no blood transfusion through the veins?

What were the various tubes entering the patients mouth?

A stone from Dr. Janvier Cabreras collection. Where did the Indian forgers getthe idea for the different dinosaurs on the engraved stones?

In Nazca, there is a figure referred to as el astronauta. It adorns the sheer slope of ahill at the southern end of the Pampa de San Jos, and is 29 meters high.

Photograph 16

On a hilltop near el astronauta, there is a sequence of smaller imagesvarious animals lined up

one behind the other as though in a comic; also creatures with long, dinosaur-like tails.

One of the several antennae-beings seen in Nazca. This 20-meter-high figure waves from thebottom of a slope. It wears a hat-like thing with a wide brim and from this head-adornment

feelers extend upwards. The arms are spread wide as though the figure is dancing, and ineach hand the creature holds somethingit is not clear what.

Particularly impressive and thought-provoking is an image over 25 meters high and about 20meters broad. On the left is a mystical-looking creature, with a triangular head, big round eyes, and

a small round mouth. The head is surrounded by a wreath of zigzag lines that look like flowerpetals or stylized feathers. From its shoulders dangle broad tentacles the length of its body,furnished at the ends with circles or small skulls. On the right of this figure is another one,

looking like a robot. Nine straight lines protrude from its head in three different directions.

The lower body spreads out like a dress or a sail. Right next to this creature is the headof a child, and above it and only just visible is another antennae-being.

In 1991, amazing graves were found at a depth of 10 meters at Sican. These gravescontained textiles and about 50 kilos of precious stones and metals, among them

the golden mask of the God of Sican.

A giant scrape drawing in the Chilean desert of Atacama. The ladder with an arrow startswith a broad horizontal stroke scraped away from the hill, which is crossed by a vertical

ladder whose lower end becomes an arrow. The whole image is surrounded by indefinablefigures, an animal with a long neck, and various rectangular surfaces.

Not far from the little town of Blythe, by the Colorado River, there are figures of animals,

up to 100 meters in height, which can be seen only from the air.

An ornamented runway in Nazca. It is a wonderful sight: the light strip on a

darker background, with a kind of flower design emerging at its end.

There is even an airplane model scraped out of the ground at Nazcaa bird with rigid wings.
