Intricate diagrams

carved into the surface of the.

Earth.

There are

over 800 straight lines.

One has to wonder, what was

it for?

Massive depictions

of animals and strange beings

seen only from the sky.

There's

enormous amount of mystery about

the Nazca Lines.

Who could have done this, and

why?

And bizarre,

elongated skulls found all over

the world.

This is an

unusual cranial, kind of

elongated head.

And we don't know whether

it's really natural or was some

kind of deformation that they

did.

Are the mysterious

geoglyphs of Nazca really just

artistic creations by

ancient man?

Or are they evidence of

otherworldly visitors in the

remote past?

I am

absolutely sure long time ago

the extraterrestrials, they

were seeking for raw material

for energy of all kind.

They found Nazca.

Millions of people

around the world believe we have

been visited in the past by

extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really help

to shape our history?

And if so, might the proof be

found when we explore

found when we explore
the mystery Beyond Nazca?

The mystery Beyond Nazca?

Southern Peru.

1927.

While hiking in the foothills of

the arid Nazca Desert,

archaeologist Toribio Mejia.

Xesspe discovers what appears to

be a large network of ancient

roads carved into the earth.

Years later, as airplane travel

to the region becomes more

frequent, aerial flyovers reveal

nearly 100 other designs in the

nearby landscape.

Known as geoglyphs, they depict

animals, flowers, and even a

animals, flowers, and even a
mysterious, human-like being.

Mysterious, human-like being.

Scattered over a nearly

200-square-mile area, these

lines and figures have become

collectively known as the Nazca

s.

The Nazca Lines

consist of these massive

drawings, or carvings, if you

like, on the ground.

Everything from geometric

symbols, lines, to animals...

Fish, birds.

But the intriguing thing about

them is, you know, number one,

they're massive, and they can

really only be seen properly

from the sky.

There are over

800 straight lines.

There are over 70 animal

figures.

There are over 150 geometrical

shapes.

We have glyphs

of different figurines on the

ground.

We have these intricate lines

and what appear to be runways

spread all around the desert.

Some of these actually show

mathematical diagrams built

thousands of years ago, which.

Why?

There's an enormous

amount of unanswered and perhaps

unanswerable questions that

arise from the phenomena.

The largest of the

figures is nearly 1,000 feet,

or the size of three football

fields...

while the longest line extends

almost nine miles.

According to mainstream

archaeologists, these mysterious

earth drawings were created by

the Nazca, an ancient people

that flourished in the region

between the 1st and 8th century.

A.D.

The lines were formed by the

careful removal of the reddish

iron oxide pebbles that make up

the desert surface.

Once exposed, the underlying

dirt, which contains high

amounts of lime, hardened and

was resistant to erosion.

The Nazca plain

is made up of layers of

light-colored kind of rock and

dirt with dark-colored rock and

dirt, just on top.

It's very simple.

And then you just remove the

rk-colored stuff to reveal

these kind of white looking

lines over the landscape.

It's like a canvas that isn't

being disturbed, that's

maintained its integrity for

hundreds or even thousands

of years.

The reason

why they have survived is

because of the desert

conditions.

Truly, if you make a geoglyph at

the Nazca Desert environment

today, it will be found hundreds

of years from now.

There is hardly any rain, hardly

any wind.

Anything you make here will last.

Anything you make here will last
for eternity.

For eternity.

But why did the.

Nazca people feel it necessary

to make these elaborate and

massive drawings in the earth?

What purpose were they intended

to serve?

And why were they designed in

such a way that they could have

only been seen and appreciated

from the sky... at a time when

aircraft didn't even exist?

The only place you

can see them above is that

somehow you're floating in

midair.

It has been

suggested that whoever inhabited

the Nazca plateau, that they had

access to some type of balloon

flight, so that they could

appreciate what they had created

on the ground.

If the Nazca population had

access to balloon flight, the

Spanish chroniclers would have

most certainly recorded that in

their reports.

But there is not a single word

that describes that the Nazcans

had access to hot air balloons.

They would have written that

down, but they didn't, so it

didn't exist.

By default, we're in

the bailiwick of highly advanced

terrestrial technology, and that

is really the anomaly of the.

Nazca Lines.

They really are easy to make,

when you look at it, because it

is only really removing the top

layer of a surface.

But the magnitude of the figures

is what makes this such a

is what makes this such a
mplex undertaking.

Mplex undertaking.

Many of the lines

at Nazca go for miles, perfectly

straight through the desert.

There are various trapezoids and

spirals and other glyphs that

are so large that the surveyors

would need some direction

from the sky.

And this is where aliens or some

kind of people with flight had

to be involved with the creation

to be involved with the creation
of the Nazca Lines.

Of the Nazca Lines.

I was in

Peru for a month in 1987.

I went with a pilot over the

plains of Nazca.

The first pattern that the pilot

said, "Well, let's aim for that

long six-mile triangle."

And there have been laser

surveys done, and it is

remarkably accurate,

this triangle.

And it looked like something had

pressed the whole ground down at

least 24 inches.

How would you press down a

six-mile-long perfect triangle

into the desert of Nazca?

What kind of technology can do

that?

That?
Not the feet of ancient people.

Not the feet of ancient people.

How could the

ancient people of Nazca have

created such massive geoglyphs

without the capability of flight

or the use of advanced tools?

Might these mysterious lines

have actually been created with

the help of otherworldly beings,

as ancient astronaut theorists

believe?

The fact that

these designs can only be seen

from above, from the sky, is an

indication that they were to be

used as navigational markers for

the gods when they were actually

here.

So the question then becomes,

you know, were they drawn in

this way as navigational markers

for the gods to actually fly

their vehicles in?

Let's assume for

a moment that extraterrestrials

sent down some type of an

unmanned craft, like a rover

that we have on Mars right now,

that is collecting samples, and

is driving around a desert

plateau.

It, of course, leaves behind

some type of tracks.

And then the natives who just

witnessed this would look at

each other and say, "Wow!

We were just visited by God."

When in reality, no such thing

happened.

Now, could it be the

case that the gods directed the

building of them to the

people below?

Could it be that there was some

sort of teaching process

involved?

The fact that we're talking

about geometric lines and things

like this, was it a teaching

process by somebody up there for

the so-called "lesser perceived"

people down below?

We're still asking questions

1,500 years later, but, you

know, to this day they fascinate

people and just provoke endless

controversy.

Were the Nazca.

Lines really navigational

markers for otherworldly beings

visiting Earth?

Or were they meant to

commemorate an extraterrestrial

encounter, one that happened...

encounter, one that happened...
tens of thousands of years ago?

Tens of thousands of years ago?

Modern-day historians and

anthropologists believe the.

Nazca people were one of several

ancestors of the Inca

civilization, the largest empire

in pre-Columbian America.

In the 13th century, the Inca.

Empire thrived in the Andes.

Mountain region of South.

America.

According to legend, the

mysterious Incan creator god.

Viracocha, commissioned the.

Nazcnes and glyphs in the

remote past.

And these were said

to be created by the Viracocha

himself, who was the great

teacher god of the Andes.

And so where he came from is

still a mystery.

He could've been from Sumeria.

He could've been connected

somehow with the Anunnaki.

No one really knows.

But the same legends and the

same stories of these great gods

appear throughout the world,

especially all the way through

the Americas.

We know that

they are part of a creation

mythology in which some of the

figurines which are depicted

here are said to be deities, are

said to be part of the creation

mythology as to how the people

who lived in that area and who

made these geoglyphs came about.

They are messages to be seen

from above to basically say that

the people on the ground still

live in accordance with the

rules established by the deities

who came from above to teach the

people on the ground about

civilization and various other

aspects of culture.

Could the lines and

glyphs of Nazca really have been

the work of the Inca god.

Viracocha, as their legends

suggest?

If so, what was the purpose of

carving these strange geoglyphs

into the Earth?

Perhaps the answers can be found

by taking a closer look at one

of Nazca's most mysterious

figures, one that has become

figures, one that has become
known as El Astronauto.

Known as El Astronauto.

Switzerland, 1968.

Researcher and writer Erich von.

Daniken publishes his first

book, Chariots of the Gods?

In it, he introduces the

revolutionary notion that the.

Nazca Lines were cre by the.

Nazca people after witnessing

extraterrestrials using advanced

technology and a sophisticated

knowledge of mathematics.

Erich Von Daniken

was one of the first to actually

do aerial flyovers of the Nazca

region, and was one of the first

researchers to not only look at

the diagrams on the plain floor,

but also in the hills of Nazca.

We find intricate mathematical

diagrams that have never been

diagrams that have never been
documented before.

Documented before.

When you fly

over the desert, you see down

gigantic lines.

Seen from the air, they give you

the imagination of airstrips

because they start abruptly,

end abruptly; Sometimes they

cross.

They look like airstrips.

When Erich drew the

comparison as to how this looks

like a network of runways, it is

to draw a visual comparison to

what they look like from above.

They are not runways.

They would not support the

weight of anything physically

landing there.

Some theorize

that they were runways.

I don't believe that for a

moment.

Hell, I was in the Air Force

for six years, and none of the

aircraft that we had would be

capable of landing on that as a

runway.

I think it's more of a

attention-getter.

You can see them from space.

So I think that it's a, uh...

a signal.

In the more than

four decades since the

publication of Chariots of the.

Gods?, Erich von Daniken's

controversial theories

concerning the Nazca Lines have

continued to spark widespread

st.

Some scholars, after discovering

curious patterns in the numerous

designs, suggest that the Nazca.

Lines might actually be one of

the earliest known examples of

applied geometry.

They were

interesting geometric figures.

They could draw a figure, and

then they could envision making

it even bigger.

You're making angles; You're

approximating distances, and

that innate skill of us to deal

with geometry, I think,

translates to our earliest art

forms.

It's interesting as you

look at these designs on the

plains of Nazca, some of them

have very, very interesting

relationships to the skies

overhead.

There's a very famous glyph of a

spider with one leg that extends

way, way out, and if you take

that and flip it into sort of a

mirror situation, what you can

plainly see is that the spider

is meant to represent the

constellation of Orion, and the

meant to represent the star, is

Sirius.

So whoever put these designs on

the plains of Nazca understood

the same thing that all of the

other ancient cultures before

them understood, which is that

there's some critical importance

to understanding Orion and

Sirius and their relationship to

Sirius and their relationship to
the Earth.

The Earth.

But could the Nazca

figures really have had a more

profound purpose?

Some ancient astronaut theorists

believe they were created as a

means of communicating messages

to the gods...

messages that may have also

included a plea for them to

included a plea for them to return.

Return.

Ancient astronaut theorists

believe the mysterious figure

known as El Astronauto could

hold a clue to the Nazca

mystery.

They call him.

The Spaceman... and he appears

to have a space helmet or

something on his head, and he's

got one arm up and he's waving.

And it would seem this is one of

the sky gods.

Or if he's not one of the sky

gods himself, he's one of the.

Nazca people who's waving to the

sky gods and saying, "Hi, we're

here. Come and land.

We know you came here before.

Come back."

You have a figure

that looks like E.T., with the

big eyes and the big head, and

one hand is pointing to the sky

and the other is pointing to.

Earth, as if it was some type of.

"Hey, something"

happened here; We were visited

by beings from above.

Is the mysterious

figure known as El Astronauto

evidence of an extraterrestrial

visitation in the distant past,

as some researchers believe?

And if so, might this suggest a

reason why extraterrestrial

visitors may have landed at

visitors may have landed at
Nazca in the first place?

Nazca in the first place?

We send

scientists from the University

of Dresden to Nazca.

They measured the magnetic

field, and they found a change

in the magnetic field under some

of the lines.

And also, we measured the

conduction, electricity along

the lines, and right next to it,

the ability to conduct currency

was 8,000 time higher on the

lines.

And they found that eight feet

below one of these lines, the

magnetic field definitely

changes.

So we have the result.

There is something in the

ground, but we don't know what

ground, but we don't know what it is.

It is.

Is it really

possible that something in the

earth might have attracted an

otherworldly species to Nazca?

Could it have been an outpost

for a mining operation of

precious metals?

Or perhaps minerals needed for

rocket fuel?

It's been said that,

if any extraterrestrial wanted

to come to Earth, Nazca would be

a great place for them to land.

Nitrates and various things that

we use in our modern propulsion

are found in abundance.

Maybe it's possible that

extraterrestrials were aware of

this location as an energy

source, and ancient man left

these depictions and runways as

a way to entice those beings

to come back.

We find that the.

Nazca civilization was placed in

nitrate-rich environments.

They had no purpose for these

nitrates.

The question might be, whether

nitrate was indeed of importance

to the people who came to this

area, maybe in prehistoric

times.

Maybe an extraterrestrial

civilization somehow had a

purpose for this nitrate.

Because nitrate is used in an

awful lot of interesting

technological applications

today.

Such applications as space

travel.

But might the

extraterrestrial contact at.

Nazca have been designed to

support an even greater presence

that we have yet to recognize?

And could Nazca have in time

served its purpose, only to

be... abandoned?

With any visit, or

with any project, the time

arrives when something is

arrives when something is finished.

Finished.

And that is why some of these

contacts had ended, because the

aterrestrials went on to

different places.

So why would

extraterrestrials be coming to.

Nazca?

Some of the lines at Nazca are

going straight through the.

Andes.

The lines themselves directed

you farther east.

But if Nazca was

used as an ancient mining site

by extraterrestrials, might

there be evidence of other,

similar sites around the globe?

According to ancient astronaut

theorists, there are.

And they can be found hundreds

of miles away at the ruins of

of miles away at the ruins of
another lost civilization.

Another lost civilization.

Western Bolivia.

400 miles east of the Nazca

plain, near Lake Titicaca, lay

the ancient ruins of Tiahuanaco.

According to archaeologists,

this ancient city was the

capital of the Tihuanaco culture

that thrived more than 1,000

years ago.

But ancient astronaut theorists

believe that Tiahuanaco is also

the place where the mysterious.

Nazca Lines seem to be pointing

to.

But if so, why?

When we

consider the Nazca Lines in

Peru, we have to consider them

in their context.

They're not isolated phenomena.

There might not be other

examples exactly like the Nazca.

Lines, but they would be

embedded in a larger ritualized

or ceremonial landscape that

might include other famous

places from ancient cultures,

such as Tiahuanaco.

At Tiahuanaco, we

can find hundreds of glyphs.

We can find faces.

We can find carvings of all

sorts of different things.

According to

legend, Tiahuanaco was created

as a tribute to beings called.

Sky People, under the direction

of Viracocha, the Inca god

linked to Nazca.

But might these Sky People be

the same extraterrestrials who

helped create the Nazca Lines

thousands of years ago?

According to ancient astronaut

theorists, the answer is yes.

Nazca, in a sense,

is really a way station along

the coast of Peru.

There's an indication there that

once you arrived in Nazca with

your airship, the lines

themselves directed you into the.

Andes to the giant megalithic

cities of Tiahuanaco and.

Pumapunku.

But is there other

evidence of an extraterrestrial

presence at Tiahuanaco?

Evidence that may give us

insight into the true nature of

the ancient aliens who allegedly

visited Nazca in the remote

past?

There are many

connections between the Nazca

culture along the west coast of

Peru, and the inland cultures,

the Andean cultures of.

Tihuanaco, Pumapunku and Cuzco.

All throughout this area, they

found evidence of these unusual

elongated skulls in all these

different places, not just in

one area.

And so, it seems like they were

the builders of these sites.

Found in numerous

gravesites in the region, these

elongated skulls have a cranial

capacity 25% larger than human

skulls.

But where did they come from?

You will find academic

critics who will say it was

because there were some Incas

who wrapped their baby's heads

in some kind of blankets or

cloths to make them grow long.

A kind of cosmetic procedure.

There's a lot of argument on the

other side that there is not one

single piece of cultural

evidence that the Incas ever

bound the heads.

So, you've got a conflict there

among archeologists, even

looking at the Peruvian heads.

I suggest the

extraterrestrials who were here

thousands of years ago... they

hadelongated heads, and our

ancestors simply wanted to copy

it.

They made it in the beginning.

They hoped that they would

become similar to the

extraterrestrials they have seen

a long time ago.

They are physically

changing the appearance of their

children to resemble the

physical appearance of the

deities.

For the Nazca people to have

done that, it means that these

people somehow preserved the

memory of such physical contact

with a deity.

But if there is no

evidence of the skulls being

created by means of binding, or

other man-made means, then how

can they be explained?

Could there be another, perhaps

more extraterrestrial,

explanation?

Might they be evidence of some

kind of human-alien hybrid race,

a race that not only lived in

western Peru but who may have

also inhabited ancient Egypt?

According to ancient astronaut

theorists, the answer is a

profound yes.

And they also cite a link

between the people of Nazca and

the god Viracocha.

What's most

interesting is the fact that.

Viracocha was also said to be

the builder of all these sites.

So was he part of the race of

the elongated skull people that

came to this land and built all

these amazing megalithic

temples as well as the Nazca.

Lines?

What is perhaps as

mysterious as the origin of the

elongated skulls is the fate of

the Nazca people.

According to most

archaeologists, both Nazca and.

Tiahuanaco were suddenly

abandoned at about the same time

approximately 1,000 years ago.

Those civilizations,

I think, are connected to what

was going on in the Peruvian

sert with the Nazca Lines.

To what extent?

I don't think we know.

There's not enough information

that has been gleaned from those

civilizations, but they both

disappeared around the same time

for whatever reasons.

But there was some

shift in the earth right then,

either some massive earthquake

that even caused Lake Titicaca

to flood the whole area or

perhaps it was some kind of

cosmic war between the

extraterrestrials.

But once that mining center...

The, in a sense, the capital of

this area... was destroyed and no

longer functioning, Nazca became

this backwater where nothing was

really happening anymore.

And it was during that period

probably that many of the lines

were drawn and the figures,

trying to attract the

extraterrestrials.

Might the

elongated skulls found at sites

surrounding Nazca really be

evidence that extraterrestrial

beings once visited Earth

thousands of years ago?

And, if so, is it also possible

that these otherworldly beings

came to mine precious minerals

until they were mysteriously

destroyed, as some ancient

astronaut theorists contend?

Perhaps further evidence can be

found hidden in plain sight at

mysterious mounds and crop

circles found all over the

circles found all over the world.

World.

Pleasant Hill,

Ohio, 1848.

The Smithsonian Institute

surveys a 1,350-foot lon

three-foot high effigy mound

built in the shape of a coiling

serpent.

Like the lines and geoglyphs of.

Nazca, this reptilian motif

known as the Serpent Mound can

only be seen from high above the

earth.

Similar to Nazca,

what we have with these earth

mounds is that they're put into

easily recognizable symbols, but

unless you're looking at them

from some altitude, they don't

look like anything.

In the.

Native American legend, we call

it the plume serpent, which is

probably the same as the.

Quetzalcoatl down in the tribes

in Mexico.

The plume serpent theory is

probably related to something

that came from the sky.

It came from the

aterrestrial territory.

Serpent Mound and other places

of what the Indians used to

call places of worship are very

important to study these things.

There are certain things that

are connected for the well-being

of the planet, whether it be the

magnetic system, whether it be

the ley lines, whether it be

observance points from other

worlds that existed here before.

According to

historians and anthropologists,

an indigenous Native American

culture called the Fort Ancient

people built the mounds nearly

1,000 years ago.

But, if so, why?

Serpent Mound is an

extraordinary site.

It is one of the most important

sites in North America.

It's almost as if somebody is

trying to point out, that for

anybody passing from above, he

or she or it is about to

approach a site of importance.

Why would a

so-called primitive people have

constructed a massive earthwork

that, like the geoglyphs and

lines in Nazca, went unnoticed

and undetected by those on the

ground for hundreds of years?

Perhaps a clue can be found in

the fact that the Serpent Mound

was constructed on the edge of a

meteor crater that was formed

approximately 300 million years

ago.

Coincidence?

Or was the mound's proximity to

a meteor site intended to mark

the presence of a very rare and

precious element often found in

meteors... iridium?

Iridium has great

conductive abilities.

It's one of the rarest elements

we have, and it tends to be

concentrated in unique areas for.

Either a meteorite

crashed at some point in the

past or volcanic activity and

lava flow.

Looking at locations

like the Serpent Mound in Ohio

and various other sites, we see

some type of energy source that

either was powering these

locations or is still offering

some type of energy source

today, like iridium and other

exotic elements.

And if extraterrestrials are

aware of these locations, were

they tapping into this energy?

The concentration

of iridium on that site is ten

times higher than what would be

expected.

Serpent Mound is some kind of

memorial to the presence of

another world involved in mining

of this iridium at some point in

the remote or maybe

not-so-remote past.

There's even

gravitational anomalies such as

you get at the Serpent Mound in

Ohio which has magnetic and

gravitational effects.

And it can really affect your

consciousness.

There's a whole preponderance of

possibilities that these sites

were built on these particular

spots.

Could the Serpent.

Mound be a marker where

extraterrestrial beings mined

iridium as an energy source, as

some ancient astronaut

researchers believe?

And, if so, might there be a

connection between energy in the

ground here and that found in

the Nazca plain?

Perhaps more clues can be found

by examining the mysterious

crop circles discovered

throughout the world.

Wiltshire, England, 1978.

Here, in this tranquil

countryside 90 miles west of

London, strange crop circles

begin to appear overnight in

fields of wheat and corn.

Like the geoglyphs found at.

Nazca, the designs are geometric

shapes seen only from above.

Crop circles, they

are described as some type of

energy ball that whizzed

through the field and all of a

sudden there's this intricate

diagram.

We also have to wonder if

extraterrestrials potentially

were involved in Nazca, maybe

they're also trying to get us

messages today through crop

messages today through crop circles.

Circles.

There is a

correlation between the ancient

glyphs and the modern crop

circles in that they're both

being presented to the Earth

from what we would call star

people using a higher

technology.

Mainstream

scientists have yet to

acknowledge an extraterrestrial

connection to crop circles.

But ancient astronaut theorists

remain convinced that there is

more here than what meets the

skeptical eye.

While some crop circles are

undoubtedly the work of farmers

and others trying to pull off a

hoax, many cannot be explained

so easily.

They appear to be made too

quickly, too perfectly.

Some magically appear within a

few hours, accompanied by

strange lights in the sky.

Could there be a connection

between these unusual shapes and

the mysterious designs found at.

Nazca?

Now, people

suggest that crop circles are

made by either

extraterrestrials or some sort

of non-human intelligence, some

sort of non-human entity that's

possibly trying to give us a

message.

If we draw the parallel between

the crop circles and the Nazca.

Lines, one, yes, is made in,

like, a sandy desert-type

terrain; The other's made in

corn, but the actual designs are

somewhat similar, and maybe even

the message is a similar one,

but it's just been upgraded for

a new era and a different

country.

In the past, we set the

communications in stone.

And what's happening now, today,

in fields all over the world but

especially in England, the crop

circles are so much more complex

than the designs at Nazca.

There definitely seems to be

some sort of communication

taking place.

Somebody is

trying to communicate with us,

and we are too stupid to

understand the communication.

One morning, you have a simple

circle in a crop field.

Now, the humans think, "Okay,

circle, it happens by the wind

or by animals overnight or

whatever."

We all are too arrogant, so we

don't try at communication.

Is there really a

profound connection between the.

Nazca lines and crop circles,

as ancient astronaut theorists

believe?

And might they contain messages

that we have yet to decode?

If so, what are they trying to

tell us?

Perhaps answers can be found by

examining other, equally strange

geoglyphs, recently discovered

geoglyphs, recently discovered
after nearly 2,000 years.

After nearly 2,000 years.

2011, the Middle East.

Satellite and aerial photography

reveals high numbers of

mysterious stone wheels carved

into the earth in Syria, Saudi

Arabia, and Jordan.

First discovered in 1927, these

stone circles are believed to

number in the thousands, and

date back more than 2,000 years.

Ranging in size from 80 to more

than 200 feet in width, ancient

astronaut theorists believe

these designs fit a global

pattern.

Seems to me that there

was high intelligence behind

everything that has been

constructed and built, and that

it has all been built for a

reason.

Somebody decided to make these

amazing circles with spokes.

The same thing in Peru, and look

at how far apart we are.

Peru is in one hemisphere, and

Jordan and Syria and Saudi

Arabia are in another

hemisphere, and they're on two

sides of the planet, but you're

talking about a similar kind of,

shall we say, communication.

Thanks to Google.

Earth, we now have a vehicle by

which we can see some of these glyphs.

They're being called Nazca-like

phenomena.

I think we are opening the first

page of a chapter that deals

with glyphs and structures which

can be seen from the air.

It's not only at.

Nazca that ancient man was

trying to communicate to the

heavens, but around the world we

are finding new monuments and

glyphs that raise the question,

"Was there a connected geodetic

presence of sites that the

extraterrestrials used to

navigate around our planet?"

What is the purpose

of the strange shapes and

geoglyphs found at Nazca and all

over the world?

Were they used as navigational

markers, intended to guide space

travelers?

Or might they contain a more

profound message for humanity?

In 1972, cosmologist Carl Sagan

stated that if an

extraterrestrial intelligence

exists in the universe, the

means of contact would be

mathematics.

If you think about

this as communication, as Carl.

Sagan was quoted as saying, it

is certainly true that this

would be the way we'd probably

have to start.

A circle is a circle, and that's

just a universal feature of

geometry.

And it would be the same no

matter where you were in the

universe.

Is it possible that

otherworldly beings have been

using basic mathematics and

geometry in an effort to

communicate with us?

And might the proof of this be

found in the many geoglyphs at.

Nazca and throughout the

world?

Could mankind have been

receiving extraterrestrial

messages for hundreds and even

thousands of years...

Messages that have gone unread

and undeciphered right before

our eyes?

Imagine you wanted

to reveal a truth about the

higher world to humans.

You would lay down one card at

a time.

Each of these cards would be a

glyph or a crop circle image,

and it would reveal something

about the spiritual world.

Not just knowledge.

It would provide an experience

of the actual reality it was

describing.

What we have in the.

Nazca culture is something which

our ancestors knew that what

they were making was gonna have

a lasting effect.

Hundreds of years afterwards,

it is still there.

And it might be very ironic to

realize that they were shouting

out for the deities, saying,

"Please come down and visit us."

And that 100 years later, the.

Nazca Lines have become the

billboard for the ancient alien

theory, whereby they really are

interpreted as, indeed, a

landing place for the deities.

And so we might find that across

time and space and culture,

really the core of the message

of the Nazca Lines is

maintained, even though maybe

slightly placed in a different

context.

When you look at

some of the glyphs at Nazca,

they would seem to just

simple things... animals and

figures and things like that.

But then other of the figures

and the... and the lines seem to

be so incredibly complicated.

Mathematical, and

they're-they're following energy

lines.

So, there seems to be a much

deeper meaning in all of the

figures and the lines, and where

they're going and why they

intersect.

Intersect.
But we can't figure it out.

But we can't figure it out.

Is it possible, as

ancient astronaut theorists

believe, that the lines and

geoglyphs of Nazca are part of

a worldwide communications

network... a network that is

directly connected to

otherworldly visitors from the

remote past?

And if so, might this form

of alien communication

be intended for us

or for something,

or someone not of this world?

Perhaps these strange shapes and

symbols provide clues to

mankind's not-so-distant future,

or serve as an invitation for

other alien visitors to return.
