The Nazca lines are a series of geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert, a
high arid plateau that stretches more than 80 km (50 miles) between the
towns of Nazca and Palpa on the Pampas de Jumana in Peru. They are
believed to have been created by the Nazca culture between 200 BC and AD
700. There are hundreds of individual figures, ranging in complexity
from simple lines to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks, llamas and lizards.
The creator of the lines and why they were created is not known.
Why the figures were built remains a persistent mystery. A leading
theory is that the Nazca people's motivations were religious, that the
images were constructed so that gods in the sky could see them. Kosok
and Reiche advanced one of the earliest reasons given for the Nazca
Lines: that they were intended to point to the places on the distant
horizon where the Sun and other celestial bodies rose or set.
Could these geoglyphs be effigies of ancient animal gods or patterns of
constellations? Are they roads, star pointers, maybe even a gigantic
map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple
technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did
they have a plan? If so, who ordained it? It all seems so otherworldly.
To comprehend the Nasca lines, created by the removal of desert rock to
reveal the pale pink sand beneath, visitors have proposed every
imaginable explanation - from runways for spaceships to tracks for
Olympic athletes, from op art to pop art, to astronomical observatories.
It is believed that the geoglyphs were built by a people
called the Nasca- but why and how they created these wonders of the
world has defied explanation
Marree Man
The Marree Man, or Stuart's Giant is a geoglyph discovered by air on 26
June 1998. It appears to depict an indigenous Australian man, most
likely of the Pitjantjatjara tribe, hunting birds or wallabies with a
throwing stick. It lies on a plateau at Finnis Springs 60 km west of the
township of Marree in central South Australia. It is just outside of
the 200,000 square kilometre Woomera Prohibited
Area. The figure is 4.2 km tall with a circumference of 15–28 km. It is
the largest known geoglyph in the world and is estimated to have taken
between four and eight weeks to create[citation needed], but despite
this its origins are a mystery, with not a single witness to any part of
the expansive operation.
The creator of the Images and why it was created is not known.
PIRI REIS MAP
IN ALL THE WORLD THERE IS NO OTHER MAP LIKE THIS MAP
In 1929, a group of historians found an amazing map drawn on a gazelle
skin. Research showed that it was a genuine document drawn in 1513 by
Piri Reis, a famous admiral of the Turkish fleet in the sixteenth
century.
His passion was cartography. His high rank within the Turkish navy allowed him to have a privileged access to the Imperial
Library of Constantinople. The Turkish admiral admits in a series of
notes on the map that he compiled and copied the data from a large
number of source maps, some of which dated back to the fourth century BC
or earlier.
The Piri Reis map shows the western coast of
Africa, the eastern coast of South America, and the northern coast of
Antarctica. The northern coastline of Antarctica is perfectly detailed.
The most puzzling however is not so much how Piri Reis managed to draw
such an accurate map of the Antarctic region 300 years before it was
discovered, but that the map shows the coastline under the ice.
Geological evidence confirms that the latest date Queen Maud Land could
have been charted in an ice-free state is 4000 BC.
The official science has been saying all along that the ice-cap which covers the Antarctic is million years old.
The Piri Reis map shows that the northern part of that continent has
been mapped before the ice did cover it. That should make think it has
been mapped million years ago, but that's impossible since mankind did
not exist at that time.
Further and more accurate studies have
proven that the last period of ice-free condition in the Antarctic ended
about 6000 years ago. There are still doubts about the beginning of
this ice-free period, which has been put by different researchers
everything between year 13000 and 9000 BC.
The question is: Who
mapped the Queen Maud Land of Antarctic 6000 years ago? Which unknown
civilization had the technology or the need to do that?
It is
well-known that the first civilization, according to the traditional
history, developed in the mid-east around year 3000 BC, soon to be
followed within a millennium by the Indus valley and the Chinese ones.
So, accordingly, none of the known civilizations could have done such a
job. Who was here 4000 years BC, being able to do things that NOW are
possible with the modern technologies?
Adam's
Bridge also known as Rama's Bridge or Rama Setu is a chain of limestone
shoals, between the islands of Rameswaram, off the southeastern coast
of Tamil Nadu, India, and Mannar, near northwestern Sri Lanka.
Geological evidence indicates that this bridge is a former land
connection between India and Sri Lanka.
The bridge is 18 miles (30 km) long[3] and separates the
Gulf of Mannar (southwest) from the Palk Strait (northeast). Some of
the sandbanks are dry and the sea in the area is very shallow, being
only 3 ft to 30 ft (1 m to 10 m) deep in places, which hinders
navigation.[2][4][5] It was reportedly passable on foot up to the 15th
century until storms deepened the channel: temple records seem to say
that Rama’s Bridge was complete above sea level until it broke in a
cyclone in 1480 CE.
In Hinduism it is said that the bridge was
created by Lord Hanuman along with his friends and Lord Rama and
Lakshman to reach Lanka in order to find Rama's wife [Sita] who was
kidnapped by the evil Ravana, thus, most Hindu's and Indians claim Adams
Bridge to be called Ram Setu (Rama's Bridge) and that it was made by
man.[citation needed] A 2007 government publication from the National
Remote Sensing Agency said that the structure "may be man-made",
contradicting the report from the Archaeological Survey of India which
found no evidence for it being man-made.[54][55] In a 2008 court case a
spokesman for the government stated "So where is the Setu? We are not
destroying any bridge. There is no bridge. It was not a man-made
structure. It may be a superman-made structure, but the same superman
had destroyed it. That is why for centuries nobody mentioned anything
about it. It (Ram Setu) has become an object of worship only recently,"
