The Nazca Desert is a high plateau about sixty miles long and five miles
wide on the coast of Peru, some 250 miles south of Lima. At some time before
1000 BCE, the Nazca Valley was inhabited by a people who developed advanced
farming methods that allowed them to build an irrigation system, improve
their crops, and expand the area of land they could farm. Over the next
1,500 years, they also developed outstanding skills in weaving, pottery, and
architecture. The Nazca were wiped out after the Spanish conquest, so that
piece of history is quite blank. Perhaps the most fascinating of their
cultural achievements was the creation of a remarkable ground art -- the
exact purpose of which remains a mystery.

Why do I get this suspicion you're fishing again? The massive art designs
were meant to be seen from the sky. Does this mean they were able to fly
in some manner?
Or, does it mean they made the art for someone who could? But whom?
LOL!
Nibble, nibble...
