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 of their ancestors» Sakai says. EFE

Read the excerpt below:

"Everyone uses alphabets, but in Andean civilization, they didn't have that way of communicating, so I wanted to discover how they did (communicate)."

In the context of the text, Sakai's statement indicates that his research is concerned with:

A

Proving that the Nazca civilization used an alphabet that has not yet been deciphered by modern researchers.

B

Investigating how a society without alphabetic writing may have developed other systems of communication.

C

Replacing archaeological interpretation with linguistic translation of ancient written records.

D

Demonstrating that prehistoric societies were unable to communicate complex information without written language.

The words "hypothesis," "archaeological," "created," "lines," "culture" and "Japanese" appear in the text. Considering pronunciation, stress and spelling-sound relations in English, the correct statement is:

A

In "Japanese," the primary stress falls on the first syllable, and "AI" is pronounced as a single vowel sound.

B

In "hypothesis," the primary stress falls on the second syllable, and in "archaeological," the spelling "ch" represents the sound /k/.

C

In "lines," the final -s is pronounced /s/, and "culture" begins with the consonant sound /k/.

D

In "created," the final -ed is pronounced /t/, and the word "routes" is always pronounced with the same vowel sound as "doubts."

In this context, the verb "straddle" indicates that the figures:

A

Were painted over previously existing stones to make the desert surface darker.

B

Extend across a large area rather than being limited to one small isolated point.

C

Were removed from their original place and transferred to another archaeological site.

D

Are concentrated in a single ceremonial building located in the center of the desert.

Based on the way the information is organized in the text, it can be inferred that:

A

The religious interpretation is rejected because the text states that the lines were created only for agricultural purposes.

B

The astronomical calendar theory is confirmed by the Japanese researchers through artificial intelligence.

C

The UFO hypothesis is presented as the most recent scientific explanation because it appears at the end of the sequence.

D

Different interpretations have circulated about the Nazca, but the text does not present them as equally supported by the research described.

Consider the sentences from the text:

"The mysteries shrouding Peru's Nazca Lines have intrigued scientists for decades."
"They were created during the Nazca culture."
"A research team led by Masato Sakai [...] has discovered [...] over 350 new etchings since 2004."

The verb forms used in the sentences are correctly explained in:

A

The present perfect indicates that the discoveries ended before 2004, while the passive voice introduces a direct quotation from the Nazca people.

B

The passive voice is used only to express doubt, while the present perfect is used only with completed actions at a fixed date in the past.

C

The past simple is used in all three sentences because the events described have no connection with the present.

D

The present perfect connects past processes or actions to present relevance, while the passive voice foregrounds the object or process rather than the agent.

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 of their ancestors» Sakai says. EFE

A teacher uses the text about the Nazca Lines in an English class. Students read the article, examine images of the geoglyphs, compare different hypotheses, discuss the use of drones and artificial intelligence, and produce a short multimodal news report in English. The procedure that corresponds to multiliteracies and digital literacy is:

A

Using the article only to identify verb tenses, without addressing its cultural, technological or multimodal dimensions.

B

Combining reading, image analysis, digital research, critical discussion of technology and production of a multimodal text for a communicative purpose.

C

Requiring students to translate the whole text word by word before discussing meaning, image, genre or communicative purpose.

D

Replacing textual comprehension with the display of images, since multimodal literacy does not involve verbal interpretation.

Based on the text about the Nazca Lines, choose the option that synthesizes the central claim presented by the Japanese research team.

A

The Nazca Lines were discovered in the 1930s because local communities had previously hidden them from foreign researchers.

B

The figures were created by the Nazca people as an astronomical calendar, a theory that the researchers consider no longer open to debate.

C

The geoglyphs may have functioned as paths, routes and forms of prehistoric communication, according to evidence gathered through fieldwork, aerial images, drones and technological analysis.

D

The geoglyphs were mainly decorative images whose value lies in their artistic beauty rather than in any possible social function.

https://efe.com/other-news/2023-01-16/nazca-lines/

When working with the text in an English class, the teacher addresses the Nazca Lines as cultural heritage, discusses Andean forms of communication, considers the participation of local communities in preservation, and analyzes how English circulates scientific and cultural information globally. This approach is consistent with:

A

A monolingual model of English teaching, because it restricts cultural discussion to countries where English is the native official language.

B

An exoticizing view of culture, because it treats the Nazca Lines as mysterious objects whose value depends mainly on foreign researchers and advanced technology.

C

A purely structural approach, because it uses the text only to classify grammar topics without considering culture, discourse or citizenship.

D

Intercultural language education, because it relates language learning to cultural diversity, heritage, global circulation of knowledge and respect for different forms of communication.
