Peru's Nazca lines were paths for prehistoric culture:
Japanese researchers
Tokyo, 16 Jan (EFE).- The mysteries shrouding Peru's
Nazca Lines have intrigued scientists for decades. Now,
a group of Japanese researchers has developed a new
theory that the geoglyphs etched into the ground served
as paths and routes. The lines forged into myriad figures
of animals and plants straddle an area of 1,000 square
kilometers of the immense Ica desert in southern Peru.
They were created during the Nazca culture, a
pre-Columbian archaeological culture that flourished
between the 1st and 7th centuries BC. A research team
led by Masato Sakai, of the University of Yamagata in
western Japan, has discovered, with the help of local
archaeologists, aerial images and drones, over 350 new
etchings since 2004. Sakai says there are two types of
geoglyphs, linear motifs that were created by removing
the upper black stones to reveal the white earth
underneath and raised lines that give the pictorial
representations depth and that archeologists call relief
lines. «The linear ones exist at the beginning and end of
straight paths and can be used to travel from one valley
to another (...) while the relief ones are on the sides of
paths that are not straight and are usually etched on a
slope,» the expert says. The meaning of the lines has
long been up for debate. Some say they represented an
astronomical calendar, others considered they were
religious figures and some have even suggested that
they serve as landing pads for UFOs. «I'm interested in
letters,» Sakai says. «Everyone uses alphabets, but in
Andean civilization, they didn't have that way of
communicating, so I wanted to discover how they did
(communicate).»
The researcher is convinced that the Nazca lines were
used as a means of prehistoric communication
Despite their antiquity, the geoglyphs were not
discovered until 1930 because these could only be
appreciated with an aerial view or from some of the site's
surrounding hills. The team of Japanese researchers
started the project using satellite and aerial photos, and
more recently using drones, and have now identified
hundreds of figures, including a spider, a monkey, a
hummingbird, a condor, a pelican, a gull, a snail, a whale,
a snake and a llama. The team struck a deal with tech
giant IBM in 2019 and have tapped into state-of-the-art
artificial intelligence (AI) that could help reveal the
location of more figures and help with deciphering their
meaning. «It is always a hypothesis, but we hope that
with AI we can check whether theories are correct or
suggest better ones that coincide with the new data,» the
expert adds. Finding all the figures, which according to
the expert could be in the thousands, is key to their
conservation from both the weather and mining and
agriculture which is prevalent in the region. «For the
people of Nazca, the geoglyphs are a source of pride because the city is not very big, but many people come to
see the figures. When we find new ones, we share the
information with the local people because we know that
they will respect and defend them, because it is the work

a group of Japanese researchers has developed a new
theory that the geoglyphs etched into the ground served
as paths and routes. The lines forged into myriad figures
of animals and plants straddle an area of 1,000 square
kilometers of the immense Ica desert in southern Peru.
They were created during the Nazca culture, a
pre-Columbian archaeological culture that flourished
between the 1st and 7th centuries BC. A research team
led by Masato Sakai, of the University of Yamagata in
western Japan, has discovered, with the help of local
archaeologists, aerial images and drones, over 350 new
etchings since 2004. Sakai says there are two types of
geoglyphs, linear motifs that were created by removing
the upper black stones to reveal the white earth
underneath and raised lines that give the pictorial
representations depth and that archeologists call relief
lines. «The linear ones exist at the beginning and end of
straight paths and can be used to travel from one valley
to another (...) while the relief ones are on the sides of
paths that are not straight and are usually etched on a
slope,» the expert says. The meaning of the lines has
long been up for debate. Some say they represented an
astronomical calendar, others considered they were
religious figures and some have even suggested that
they serve as landing pads for UFOs. «I'm interested in
letters,» Sakai says. «Everyone uses alphabets, but in
Andean civilization, they didn't have that way of
communicating, so I wanted to discover how they did
(communicate).»
The researcher is convinced that the Nazca lines were
used as a means of prehistoric communication
Despite their antiquity, the geoglyphs were not
discovered until 1930 because these could only be
appreciated with an aerial view or from some of the site's
surrounding hills. The team of Japanese researchers
started the project using satellite and aerial photos, and
more recently using drones, and have now identified
hundreds of figures, including a spider, a monkey, a
hummingbird, a condor, a pelican, a gull, a snail, a whale,
a snake and a llama. The team struck a deal with tech
giant IBM in 2019 and have tapped into state-of-the-art
artificial intelligence (AI) that could help reveal the
location of more figures and help with deciphering their
meaning. «It is always a hypothesis, but we hope that
with AI we can check whether theories are correct or
suggest better ones that coincide with the new data,» the
expert adds. Finding all the figures, which according to
the expert could be in the thousands, is key to their
conservation from both the weather and mining and
agriculture which is prevalent in the region. «For the
people of Nazca, the geoglyphs are a source of pride because the city is not very big, but many people come to
see the figures. When we find new ones, we share the
information with the local people because we know that
they will respect and defend them, because it is the work
of their ancestors» Sakai says. EFE
