Much has been written about the Nazca plains in Peru. The Nazca plains are famous for lines that depict giant figures which can only be seen from the air. These figures have puzzled people for many years. Who created them, how and why? More important then even how these figures were created is why were they created? The 'how' was never figured out although there are many theories. Most of the theories involve some sort of direction from the air. The 'why' is likewise a mystery. But are there only lines at Nazca?

Recently the Sun ran a story stating otherwise. The paper claims that last May a monument was discovered in Nazca. The article goes on to state further that what looked like a mountain turned out to be a huge carved monument and this monument had stairs that led down the side to a large stone room. In the room were many devices made of a fragile crystal. There was a large table in the room and it had a map etched into it. One wall contained a star map of stars over the area from 1200 years ago. It is claimed that the devices, who's purpose is unknown, have tolerances that were impossible to create at the time. The article indicated that some experts feel that only extraterrestrials could have created all this.

My feeling is that at the very least, only a very advanced race could have accomplished all this. But I have severe doubts in some of the areas. For instance why were such crude pictures carved into the earth? You would think that an advanced race of space travelers would have carved something that would have indicated how advanced they were, at that they were from another planet. Are the room and devices the most important discovery? Indeed they ARE a very important discovery but the monument itself might be even more important in its implications.

On Mars there is a famous monument that has its existence routinely denied by the US government in the form of NASA. It is the face of what seems to be an ancient Egyptian wearing the traditional head dress. The face is orientated in such a way that the back of the head is on the ground and the face is staring up into the sky or space. This is a very unusual orientation. Remember this point, it is important. NASA has tried to discredit their own original photos that clearly show the face by taking new, so called, better photos. These photos show only eroded rock. The problem with these new photos is that they were taken using 256 shades of gray but the ones released to the public only contain 16 shades of gray. We are only getting 1/16 of the photo information. This fact has infuriated many scientists. Its like being asked to look at a picture of an elephant's foot and try to imagine what the rest of the animal looks like. NASA asserts that light and shadows made us think that the photo was of a face, but there are problems with this. The original photo, some scientists claim, when enlarged correctly, clearly shows the eyeballs and teeth. But there are more faces are Mars, too many to discount.

Getting back to the monument at Nazca in Peru, its orientation seems to be the same as the monument on Mars. It is a face with the back of the head on the ground. The face is staring up into the sky or space. Is this a more important message than even the devices and maps in the room underneath? Could this have been some sort of sign to space travelers of what the inhabitants of Earth looked like and if so, is the monument on Mars also a sign showing what ancient Martians might have looked like? Maybe all this is wrong and these statues represent some sort of universal message by aliens to show us we are not alone. What ever they mean, they are hard to ignore.
