| Dirk,
about the Mary Celeste I had somewhere already a discussion and I have some ideas (as you know I don't believe in supernatural and try to seek for a reasonable solving), Vonich manuscript we discussed here yet, about Jack the Ripper I have some ideas, the Flannan Isles lighthouse, we discussed here yet, the Bermuda Triangle too, the Piri Reis map, I didn't know about Antarctica. Will do some research. About he Nazca lines I have also some ideas.
Kind regards from Paul. |

Kind regards from Paul. Dirk, had a look to the Nazca lines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazca_LinesAs I read it the most logical, if one see all the other constraints, would for me be: to be seen by the deities in the sky... Anthropologists, ethnologists, and archaeologists have studied the ancient Nazca culture to try to determine the purpose of the lines and figures. One hypothesis is that the Nazca people created them to be seen by deities in the sky.And I had already theorized about a method, as making a small figurine composed of pieces of for instance one inch and one makes checks with transversal lines to control if the figure to be reproduced don't differ from the original. And then one makes the real big figurine in the sand, measuring the lines with for instance three steps, passes, about three meter, ten feet for each inch and using the check lines in the inner figure to not deviate from the design...And see they have already done it.Refuting the hypothesis of Erich von Däniken [17] that the lines had to have been created by "ancient astronauts", prominent skeptic Joe Nickell has reproduced the figures using tools and technology available to the Nazca people. Scientific American called his work "remarkable in its exactness" when compared to the existing lines.[18] With careful planning and simple technologies, Nickell proved that a small team of people could recreate even the largest figures within days, without any aerial assistance.[19]And of course no hot air balloons... Jim Woodmann[35] theorized that the Nazca lines could not have been made without some form of flight to observe the figures properly. Based on his study of available technology, he suggests a hot-air balloon was the only possible means of flight at the time of construction. To test this hypothesis, Woodmann made a hot-air balloon using materials and techniques he understood to have been available to the Nazca people. The balloon flew, after a fashion. Most scholars have rejected Woodmann's thesis as ad hoc,[19] because of the lack of any evidence of such balloons.[36]Kind regards from Paul. |
