Why did they make these?

>>2909323
Stone chisels and weather balloons.

>>2909328
I said why not how.

>>2909323

Magic / religious reasons.

>>2909328

You don't need either of those things, the lines are formed by simply clearing the stones from the pattern, the pattern itself is governed by the same technology weavers use to make patterned fabrics, a technology the Nazca people certainly had.

Also Op asked WHY, not HOW.

>>2909328
they must of been big chisels to reach from up on the weather balloon

>>2909348
They constructed an elaborate pulley system to make it work.

>>2909347
>>2909339
there you go
sorry if it's unsexy but that's it really

>>2909323
they were memeing the skies

>>2909358
>>2909339
Yes but why still? Religion has a meaning, and magic has a goal.

>>2909358

You don't know the answer, just lurk until someone posts somethingre interesting.

The line drawing was developed and originally used for irrigation but someone thought it would be cool to make images using it

>>2909631

Thouse little pieces of shit.

>>2909339
Do you suppose they're meant to be some kind of summoning/channeling shit? Like, are the lines meant to guide and direct... fuck, I don't know. Earth forces? "Energy"?

For what it's worth, I remember that there are elaborate decorations on the roofs of the Sagrada Familia "because they can be seen by angels"

>>2909355
you didn't get the joke

>>2910411
how moving stones can be used for irrigation anon ?

>>2912294
they dig out little channels, somehow the surface of the desert has a different color than the soil under it.

Amerindians are autistic.

>>2909691

same goes for all these other autists who want to close the question with "LOL MAGIC RELIGION THEY DID IT WITH PULLEYS"

>>2912310

No they don't, the lines are formed simply by moving the rocks from the surface, no digging is involved.

>massive project requiring the cooperation of numerous people
>autism

It's pretty clear that you're the only retard here, Anon.

>>2912948
Autism comes in many flavors.

>>2909323
To appease or please their gods.

I imagine they thought gods lived in the sky, or they thought the sun, moon stars were gods, and therefore the gods could see their drawings.

>>2910892
Wait are those people?
The Nazca lines are WAY smaller than I thought they were, why the fuck are they a meme?

There're hundreds of lines, and 100 years ago it was certainly enigmatic, they were first noticed when airplanes began flying over but no one knew who, when and why made so many lines on the dessert, of course since then a lot of research has been done and they aren't so enigmatic anymore but you know how much History Channel loves to sensationalize things.

Have you heard of Dragon lines? How about LEY lines.

If you draw a straight line from them to the pyramids you come across numerous ancient monuments such as the Easter Island statues and the hidden Chinese pyramids. That must be the key.
