All language subtitles for 9 Mystery of Nazca

[GIORGIO TSOUKALOS]
I'm in Peru to investigate

one of the most mysterious sites
on planet Earth, Nazca.

Here, carved into the vast desert floor,

are hundreds of ancient geoglyphs,

shallow lines in the ground
depicting animals,

humanlike figures
and strange geometric designs

that defy conventional explanations.

And many of these glyphs
are so enormous

that they can only be seen from the sky.

The mysteries of Nazca have remained
unsolved for hundreds of years,

but I'm here to investigate
if what we have here

could provide evidence
of alien visitation.

My name is Giorgio Tsoukalos.

I explore the world that exists

between reality and speculation,

the known and the unknown.

What we've been taught
by mainstream scholars

is not the whole picture.

But I'm convinced that every day

we are one step closer to the truth.

Although archaeologists believe
that the Nazca Lines

were created sometime
between 500 BC and 500 AD,

the earliest known references
to them can be found

in a book written in 1553

by the Spanish conquistador
Pedro Cieza de Leon,

who mistook them for trail markers.

But it wasn't until the 1930s,

after the invention of the airplane,

that explorers flew over Nazca

and discovered a network
of hundreds of geoglyphs

covering an area of over 200 square miles.

Many believe that
the Nazca Lines were formed

by removing the reddish-colored pebbles

that make up the desert surface
and exposing the lighter soil underneath.

Luckily, because this desert
sees very little rainfall,

he Nazca Lines are still
in amazing condition.

But who made them?

And why?

To begin my search, I've arranged to meet

with my good friend and colleague,
David Childress.

[DAVID CHILDRESS]
Giorgio!

David. Good to see you.

How are you?
You good?

Hey, buddy.
Yeah, I'm great.

The plane's ready. Let's go.

Let's do it.

David is one
of the most well-known proponents

of the ancient astronaut theory
and has written many books

on unexplained mysteries of the universe.

(engine rumbling)

Even though we've both flown
over this area before,

David and I are always excited to see
these glyphs the way they were

clearly meant to be seen...

from the sky.

And with so many glyphs here,

there is always the possibility
of discovering something new.

Ripped By mstoll
Resync by TEDI for x264-SPASM

Nothing. Yeah.

Some researchers have proposed

that it would have been almost impossible
for an ancient people

to construct these complex images and shapes

without a concise knowledge of geometry.

(Giorgio laughs)

[DAVID]
So, I keep wondering,

really, if this isn't a signal,

uh, to the Anunnaki.

[GIORGIO]
Right.

And this is
a big signal for them.

It's like a beacon.

[GIORGIO]
One of the most mind-blowing of all the glyphs

is known as El Astronauto or the Spaceman.

This strange figure appears
to be pointing to the sky

or perhaps waving to visitors from above
and inviting them to land here.

Of course, ancient petroglyphs that appear
to be depicting astronauts is nothing new.

In Nine Mile Canyon, Utah, for example,
you can find one called

the Family Panel that appears to depict
an entire family of astronauts.

And in July 2014,

10,000-year-old rock paintings

were discovered in India
that depict figures so strange-looking

that even archaeologists described them
as, and I quote, "wearing space suits."

But equally mystifying is the monkey glyph.

David and I asked our pilots to take us
over the strange flat-topped mountain

that some refer to as Mount Palpa.

Unlike many other mountains in the area,

Mount Palpa looks as if the entire peak
has been neatly sliced off.

And we're talking probably
a million tons of earth

that has completely disappeared.

There's not even any rubble
nearby to indicate that,

if this was done deliberately,
how an ancient people

could have accomplished
such an incredible engineering feat.

The last site we wanted to see

from the air was the Sun-Star
and Cross glyph.

[DAVID] Assuming that these people are
just some kind of primitive desert people,

I mean, they had to be
a very advanced civilization.

[GIORGIO]
This massive geometric design was carved

into a hillside and contains a series
of intricate geometric patterns.

But how could the ancient Nazca people
have made this without,

at the very least, viewing their
incredible designs from above the Earth?

It's just one of the many unanswered questions
about Nazca that absolutely fascinates me.

[DAVID]
Oh, I'm still shaken up from that ride.

It's just as exciting
as-as the first time, really.

It really is because today
for the first time

I saw perfect circles inside
some of the lines,

which I had never seen before.

So I really think it also has
to do with the-the time of day

you're flying because
of the-the angle of the sunlight

and things like this.

And you're always amazed
by just the sheer number

of-of lines and trapezoids everywhere.

It's this giant geometry etching
on the desert th-that's baffling.

You-you can't figure out what it's about.

It really is.

And, you know, the perfection
with which the lines exist,

the things that look like these wide bands,

it's as if they were stamped into the ground.

I mean, very bizarre.

And I-I think the most interesting
is what you showed me.

- The star.
- The star thing.

The star glyph.
Uh, it's just there.

There is this, uh... this ditch
in the terrain where,

the builders, they didn't mind
that it's on top of this mountain.

It's very hilly, and it's perfect, though.

So it'd be good to go and investigate that
as closely as we can.

Right. Let's go.

Let's do it.

[GIORGIO]
After leaving the airport, David and I drove

for less than an hour to see
the Sun-Star and Cross glyph up close,

from the ground.

Local historians Luis Quiroz
and Manuel C�ceres acted as our guides,

and as they brought us right up
to the enormous glyph,

I felt like I was being transported
to the moon.

What really strikes me every time
I'm in Nazca

is the absolute desolation
of this entire area.

I mean, why would anyone create
these intricate designs here,

in a remote, barren desert?

[DAVID]
It's just... it's strange.

It looks so different
from the ground than from the air. I mean...

I mean, anybody who says
that th-this can be appreciated

in its full form the way
we're standing right now,

they're out to lunch.

Clearly, to do this,
y-you need planning for this.

You need to have something
in writing and be like,

"All right, let's create this."

But then to see the finished product
is only from up there.

Luis and Manuel told us that
the people who inhabited this area

from approximately 800 BC
to 100 BC are known as the Paracas

and that they were here
long before the ancestors

of the people living in Nazca today.

They're also convinced that the area has been
a hot spot of UFO activity, even to this day.

Here and around Nazca and Paracas,
do you sometimes see UFOs or some light,

luz, light in the sky?

He doesn't know what it is.

Can they be intelligently controlled
by extraterrestrials?

[GIORGIO] I'm with David Childress at the
Sun-Star and Cross glyph in Nazca, Peru.

We just learned from our local guides,
Luis and Manuel,

that it's not just ancient astronaut theorists
who believe that extraterrestrials

may have been responsible
for the remarkable glyphs found at Nazca,

but many of the native people
who live here today believe it, too.

So he is suggesting that it was
some type of an energy

that the ancients observed
and then they imitated it.

[DAVID]
And why are they doing that?

I mean, are they trying to imitate
some extraterrestrials?

That's what Luis was saying.

Yeah, that's what Luis
was saying.

He was saying it was an energy.

Once again, Luis tells us
there is a connection

between the lines in Nazca, Paracas
and contact with ancient visitors

from the sky.

Unexplained lights and objects

in the sky have been reported
at numerous ancient archaeological sites,

including Stonehenge in England,
the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt,

and Puma Punku in Bolivia.

Now, according to the ancient astronaut theory,
these sites were points

of extraterrestrial contact in the remote past,
and these sightings prove

that they still are even today.

So it was very interesting to me
when both Luis and Manuel told us

that they have seen strange lights
right here at Nazca.

[GIORGIO]
After examining the Sun-Star and Cross glyph,

David and I went to check out
another of Peru's great mysteries,

the Band of Holes, an ancient site
on the Cajamarquilla Plain,

about 100 miles from the Nazca Lines.

Here, thousands of holes
of varying dimensions and depths

have been dug into the earth
in an interesting pattern,

running north and south for almost two miles
along a mountain range.

But what makes the Band of Holes
incredible is that,

like the Nazca Lines, the holes
can only be appreciated in their entirety

from high above the ground.

(whirring)

You know, this definitely gives you a, um...
a better perspective of-of everything.

I mean, it's... it's very...
It's beautiful.

Really cool stuff.

[DAVID]
Yeah, it's-it's a perfect day for all this.

All right.

They kind of look like tombs,
but I guess they're not.

[GIORGIO]
They weren't.

So... But-but seriously, man,

what goes through your mind
right now?

It's weird.

[DAVID] Yeah, it's cool that
we can get this perspective.

It gets more baffling
when you're here

and-and when you think, too,
of all the effort by whoever,

human beings, to-to make all this.

That's also what's astounding is that
somebody is going through a lot of work.

And-and what for?

I mean, why are they doing this?

[GIORGIO] When you see this
Band of Holes from the sky,

it truly defies explanation.

And to find out how the locals

explain this phenomenon, David and I
met up with Juan Navarro,

the curator of the nearby
Paracas History Museum.

- 5,200 holes. That's crazy.
- Yeah.

[GIORGIO]
This band here is three kilometers long,

which is a lot.

According to local legend,
the Band of Holes was formed

to represent a giant snake.

It's interesting to hear that
the locals believe that the Band of Holes

was made to resemble a serpent god.

In fact, 2,600 miles to the north
on Mexico's Yucat�n Peninsula,

the ancient Maya people worshipped
a flying serpent god called Kukulkan,

a deity who was also known
to the Aztecs as Quetzalcoatl.

And all over Asia,
ancient Chinese and Japanese legends

abound with stories about flying serpents
and fire-breathing dragons.

But when I hear legends
about giant flying reptiles

that breathe fire and smoke,

I think that what
was really being described here

was some sort of extraterrestrial craft,

one which was misinterpreted by early humans
as some sort of flying reptile.

Juan then told us about an event
that deeply affected him as a young man.

Con luz. With lights.

In the daytime
or in the nighttime?

[GIORGIO] It was fascinating to
hear Juan's firsthand account

of a UFO sighting right here at Nazca.

But as we prepared to follow
the Band of Holes up the mountain,

we came upon an even bigger surprise.

[DAVID] All right, so here's a
hole full of... full of bones.

[GIORGIO] Human bones, skulls,
and evidence of ancient tombs.

Juan said that these
were remains of the Inca...

a pre-Colombian empire that was conquered
by the Spanish in the 16th century.

But I wonder if these bones may have been
the remains of human sacrifice...

part of a ritual in honor
of the so-called flying serpents.

[DAVID] So this is this mass grave
of-of Incas from Inca time,

time, so this is, like, 500 years old,
these bones here.

[GIORGIO] I mean, it's really wild,
and all these different skulls...

and they all seem to be broken up, as well.

This is very, very strange.

Yeah, I... Man.

[GIORGIO] David and I
measured some of the holes,

which appeared to be uniform
in size and depth,

although at other locations
the holes reportedly vary.

Seeing this phenomenon both
from the drone camera and up close

from the ground is absolutely astounding,
but I'm still unsure what it all means.

This right here... I mean
I've known about this Band of Holes

for 25 years now
and I've looked at the pictures.

I thought it was rather interesting...
but here we are, and...

Dude, I've got to tell you,

I've got zero. Zero.

I... It's just... It's baffling.

The whole thing is inexplicable.

It makes me think how the old saying
of truth is stranger than fiction,

because fiction has to make sense,
but the-the truth here

is that it doesn't make any sense.

It's really weird

and, uh, it's gorgeous, but what is it?

I can't think of any good explanation
for this whole thing at all,

uh, none whatsoever.

[GIORGIO]
After visiting Peru's Band of Holes,

David Childress and I traveled
26 miles west to the Paracas History Museum.

We were curious to learn
why so many of the native people

who may have lived here when
the Nazca Lines and the Band of Holes

were created had large, elongated skulls.

According to mainstream historians,
many ancient people around the world

deliberately bound the skulls of infants

shortly after birth
and would lengthen them

by slowly pressing the skull
between wooden boards.

But why?

And what's even more strange

about the skulls at the Paracas History Museum
is the fact that some of them are missing

a key feature found
in all normal human skulls...

the sagittal suture.

Okay, yeah... yeah.

Wow, that's weird.

You can see some sutures
in the back here.

But there's none in the front.

It doesn't have the-the side plates
fusing together.

It's... This is strange.

[GIORGIO]
The sagittal suture is a fibrous, jagged joint

that contributes to the elasticity
of the skull.

In a normal infant, the bones
of the skull are unfused,

while in older adults they fuse together.

But there's not even a remnant
of a suture.

I mean, there is nothing here if you look.

I just saw a similar skull

during my recent visit
to the islands of Malta,

but that one had never been subjected
to any serious scientific examination.

So we asked Juan if the skulls here

had ever undergone DNA testing
or any other analysis.

And if so, what were the results?

[DAVID] So we have DNA tests
that are showing that these

are not American Indians.

It's almost like they're
Vikings or something.

Perhaps coming over
the northern passage,

above Canada if the...
if the ice cap had receded,

and they could come over
and then down the west coast

of the Americas or-or somehow
across the Pacific.

[GIORGIO]
Yeah, how they reached the Americas

is a mystery.

The DNA analysis was only done
from the hair samples,

not from bone samples.

Okay, that's what they did do
was the DNA of the hair.

What other skulls have
these weird holes in them,

and, you know, let alone their shape?

He says that one of the archaeologists
that came here to look at this thing

has suggested that it is actually
a different race.

It's its own race.

It's very, very fascinating.

So, I mean, what if, David,
we are looking at extraterrestrials here?

Seriously.

It's the first time that I've
actually come in close contact

with so many.

This is very, very bizarre.

It's possible that some of these skulls
are actually of extraterrestrials.

And DNA testing would,
in theory, show that.

And it wouldn't matter
how these skulls were obtained

if DNA showed that
they were not humans.

I-I don't even understand why this place
is not teeming with scientists right now.

I mean, that... just right there...
would just say a lot.

Well, it would... it would change
the history of mankind.

The collection of artifacts
in the Paracas History Museum

is absolutely astounding,
and seeing these skulls

has turned my investigation upside down.

But what does it all mean?

Could there really be a connection
between the Nazca Lines, the Band of Holes,

and these incredible elongated skulls?

[GIORGIO]
One of the biggest mysteries of Nazca

is what might have attracted
an extraterrestrial species

to this barren desert in the first place.

Perhaps a clue can be found
by taking a closer look

at the nearby mountains in Palpa,
which look as if the tops

of the natural peaks have been sliced off.

So if this is the result
of some ancient excavations,

then I would like to find out how
ancient people...

allegedly armed with only primitive tools...

removed millions of tons of rock

and earth without leaving any trace.

For this reason, I've come
to Pyrite quarry in Riverside, California

to meet with owner Buck Houck,
who over the course of his career

has moved millions of tons of rock.

Buck, thank you very much
for inviting me over here

to your mining operation.

I was just in Nazca at Mount Palpa,
and I wanted to actually show you

a picture to see what you
would have to say

about how something like this
could be accomplished.

See how this top right here
seems as if it's been sheared off?

Sure. Yeah.

What would we use
to do something like this?

A lot of people.

Tremendous amounts of man-hours
to accomplish something like that.

And the idea that there is
no rubble around the area

would that indicate that some type
of a mining operation

possibly went on there?

[BUCK] With no rubble, it would be difficult
to tell how that occurred, but, obviously,

something went in there
and took off the top of that mountain.

Just the surveying to obtain that elevation
at that time frame is mind-boggling.

[GIORGIO]
According to Buck,

excavating the mountaintops
of Nazca would have been impossible

without extensive surveying,
and would involve the construction

of access roads to reach
those mountaintops and haul away the debris.

And from the air, there are no visible roads
leading to the peaks.

In your expert opinion,
what would be entailed

in order to do something like this?

Well, something like that
would be a major project

by today's standards on a...
on a massive scale.

It would take a tremendous amount
of drilling and blasting,

and millions and millions
of tons of moving material

with loaders and excavators
and dozers and manpower.

And so, we're talking
heavy machinery.

Absolutely.
The heaviest there is.

We're not talking wooden rollers.

No, not at all.

So, the idea that an ancient culture
did this purely by hand...

in your opinion, is that even
something that's feasible?

I can't even imagine how they would
have ever done that

without the equipment
and the technologies that we have today.

[GIORGIO] As far as I'm concerned, there
is little question that ancient people

using primitive tools could not have removed
the mountaintop at Palpa.

Somebody surveyed and decided
at what level to cut,

so all the high areas filled
the low areas perfectly,

leaving that flat table.

And to do that without being able
to get above it,

or outside of it looking into it,
and without using satellites and GPS

is beyond my comprehension.

And what's amazing, too, is that there
are these ditches and terrain.

Right.

[GIORGIO] That it didn't seem to
have any effect on the operation.

None. They had to have some sort
of survey method

from an elevated position to determine it.

[GIORGIO]
What Buck is telling me is amazing.

If he is correct, then some type
of flying craft surveyed Mount Palpa from above,

and then directed the removal
of millions of tons of earth.

So, maybe Nazca
was a massive mining operation,

complete with a landing zone,
huge earth removal machines

and incredibly sophisticated technology.

If you were to shear off
this mountaintop right here,

how long do you think it would take,
in your opinion?

Uh, to take off a mountain like that
at 800,000 tons a year,

it would take 20 to 30 years
to lower that mountain.

- 20 to 30 years?
- Yeah.

- With modern equipment.
- With modern technology.

Heaviest equipment you could buy,
the most skilled employees

you can find, the best of everything,
it would take 20 to 30 years.

You just blew my mind,
because it's figures like that

that put everything
into perspective.

Buck, thank you very much
for your time.

- Thank you. My pleasure.
- I learned a lot.

After meeting with Buck,
I'm more convinced than ever

that Nazca was the site
of some incredible extraterrestrial activity.

But I'm still trying to figure out
what the ancient astronauts

were looking for.

And what do
all the strange geoglyphs mean?

My investigations must continue!

I decided to head off to Switzerland

and pay a visit to my good friend
and mentor, Erich von Daniken,

the author of Chariots of the Gods,

and the man behind what's now known
as the ancient astronaut theory.

Erich was one of the first people
to suggest that there could be

a connection between Nazca
and extraterrestrial visitors,

so I can't wait to compare notes.

Erich, I just returned
from Nazca,

and, as always,
it was absolutely fantastic.

Yeah.

[GIORGIO] Breathtaking when you
take off on that little plane,

and then this picture book just unfolds
underneath your eyes.

It's really amazing.

It's the old story.

Thousands of years ago,

definitely extraterrestrials were here.

My suggestion was, at some time,

we had something
like a mother spaceship in orbit.

A mother spaceship, after maybe
two or 300 years of traveling...

they need some sort of energy.

(rumbling)

So, they observed our planet
from the orbit.

Then they found the plane of Nazca,
and there, they find energy.

Still, today, we find uranium
there and gold.

[GIORGIO] According to Erich's
theory, Nazca was the location

of an ancient mining colony
where alien visitors came

to excavate gold
and other natural resources.

This theory coincides with legends
concerning the Anunnaki,

which suggest that alien visitors
came to Earth

tens of thousands of years ago,
and created early humans as slaves

in order to mine gold.

Today, gold is a valuable element
used in everything,

from medicine to nanotechnology
to electronics.

And in space travel, it is used,

for example, to shield spacecraft
from intense heat.

And, believe it or not,
there are significant amounts of gold

and other precious metals found in Nazca.

[ERICH]
They simply sent some sort like a rover,

like we do it on Mars.

And this rover was working simply
by blowing stones and little sand away.

Then they make their chemical analysis,
they disappeared again.

And one or two natives
has observed this rover.

And now the natives start
to make lines.

After some generations,
one of the priests suggests,

well, we must show them
that we have offerings for them.

For example, fishes, or spiders,
or monkeys, or flowers.

And now, in the middle of the line,
they start to make gigantic figures,

but they're such size
that they can be seen only from the air.

[GIORGIO]
Eric's theory is that the ancient people

made these glyphs to signal
what they could offer their gods.

But this still doesn't help to explain
the strange Band of Holes.

I remember that in one
of your earlier books,

you gave a suggestion of how
this Band of Holes might have been used.

Seen from the air,

you see this Band of Holes definitely.

You see it going down the hill,
going through the valley.

Why have they done this?

What is the purpose?

For what idea?

Of course, you see it only from the air,

and it has something to do
with mathematics,

because there are always eight holes
in a line, not 11 and sometimes 13.

It's always eight holes in a line.

So, somebody was calculating,
and in my eyes,

it had to do something
with binary code.

[GIORGIO]
According to Erich's theory, the Band of Holes

was probably some type
of human-to-alien communications system,

where early humans would build fires
in the stone-lined holes

following a precise numeric code
as a means of sending signals

to alien ships flying overhead.

But one thing continues to mystify me,

and that's the Sun-Star and Cross glyph.

With its precise geometric lines
and intricate design,

the glyph looks nothing like the others
found at Nazca.

But is it some sort of sacred geometry?

Ingenious artwork?

Or could it be some type
of mathematical puzzle?

We actually walked
to this geoglyph right here.

And what is your opinion about
this thing right here?

Uh, to me, it looks like
a sort of sign.

You see, you have a central circle
and then you have triangles around.

It's a mathematical message
that nobody has solved.

We have found gigantic signs
in the ground worldwide,

not only Nazca, including lines,

including big wheels of such dimension
that you can see them

only from the air.

These people thousands of years ago
had no contact to each other.

So why have they come up
with the same silly idea?

Thank you, always,
for your knowledge.

Giorgio Tsoukalos,
you know a lot about ancient aliens.

Probably you are the one leading figure
living on this planet.

Nah, come on.
Thank you. I appreciate it.

Thank you, Erich.

[GIORGIO] There is one last place I need
to go before I conclude my investigation.

And I'm beginning to think
that the geometric designs

of the Sun-Star and Cross glyph
may provide an important clue

in solving the mystery of Nazca.

From everything I've seen so far,
I'm more and more convinced

that Nazca is a site
where extraterrestrials came

in order to mine for raw minerals
in the remote past.

But I still can't figure out
what the connection is

between these long, straight lines,
which look like some sort of runway,

and the various geoglyphs, especially the one
known as the Sun-Star and Cross glyph.

To help me find the answer,
I've arranged to meet with Dr. Michael Dennin,

professor of physics and astronomy
at the University of California at Irvine.

Michael, I just returned from Nazca,
and every time I'm just blown away

by what you see because
the mainstream usually only thinks

that it's all about the figures,

like the-the birds
and the monkeys and things like that.

But there are other things, too.

The giant lines.

And this time, I actually had
the great privilege to go and visit

this geoglyph right here,

which, to me, looks like
this geometric formation.

What do you think when
you see something like this?

Well, these sort of figures
I find really amazing.

Because I love geometry.

And here you have,
as you pointed out,

a great geometric figure, with the circles
and the squares working together.

You know, so the first geometric figures
and the easiest to make.

But then you think about making them
on such a large scale

and what would inspire a group
of people to want to make

such large geometric figures.

[GIORGIO] These pictures were taken
from a small prop plane that we took.

But when you're down there on the ground,
you can't really appreciate the whole formation

unless you're up in the air.

And that is fascinating.

In sciences, that's one of the big things
we have to be able to do,

is form these abstract models,
think abstractly.

So it's really cool when you see
large figures like this,

no matter what was the original source.

The person or people doing these
were able to imagine

that they were doing something
that could be seen on a different scale

than they were doing it.

[GIORGIO] Hearing Professor Dennin talk about
creating something to be seen on a different scale

got me thinking about crop circles,
which are also designed to be viewed

from the sky.

Now, some crop circles have clearly
been exposed as manmade hoaxes,

but others are so precise
and appeared so suddenly

that they continue to defy explanation.

So could there be a connection?

And if so, what were the extraterrestrial
visitors trying to communicate?

Perhaps something happened
at Nazca that the natives witnessed,

and after whoever it was
who visited disappeared,

what if they wanted to create
a message or a beacon?

So, I mean, it's a valid question.

So, when you look at
this figure in terms of

is it just random
or is there a message encoded,

I think it's certainly not just random.

You definitely see patterns here,
and patterns definitely imply

some type of communication.

So when I say there's a message
being communicated,

it's not as simple as you translate it
into a simple English message.

Um, it could be
a more abstract message than that.

But there is definitely a mathematical
structure being communicated,

and that certainly is
a message of a type.

Thank you very much
for taking the time

to look at these photos
and give me your ideas

of how geometry that might have
a correlation to astronomy

and things like this.

I wanted to give you
one of these.

This here is a pre-Columbian
funerary object.

Thousands of these objects
have been found

that clearly represent animals,
but about a dozen look like this.

Excellent. Thank you.

- So, Michael, thank you very much.
- You're welcome.

Appreciate it.

After conducting my research,
I am more convinced than ever

that the various lines, glyphs
and symbols at Nazca

may actually be evidence of communication

between ancient humans
and extraterrestrials.

I think that highly advanced space travelers
could have come to this region

looking for gold and other raw materials
tens of thousands of years ago.

The native population
thought that these strange visitors

were gods and began to worship them.

After the extraterrestrials left,
the ancient humans

might have wanted
to communicate with them,

so they began to create
gigantic figures in the ground.

Perhaps these were done
as some kind of offering

or as an expression of thanks.

And the Sun-Star and Cross glyph?

I'm wondering if that wasn't meant
to be an elaborate geometric puzzle

left behind by the alien visitors,
and, when solved,

it might let them know that we
have sufficiently evolved to merit their return.

Of course, all of this is only a theory.

For proof, I will need to gather

more evidence, keep an open mind

and travel the world
in search of aliens.
