Theory 1: Erich von Daniken: The lines were created as a result of spacecraft landing. Theory 2:Airstrips, airports Theory 3: The entire mountaintop was removed, but it is actually a plateau.

 The truth: just run your fingers over the surface of the ground  The Driest place—no rain, no wind  Nazcan religions  Worship Gods represented by animals

 Decapitated a lot of humans  Beheadings  Water and fertility  Take hallucinogenic drugs, cut off heads to appease nature Gods for good crops

 A City—Cahuachi  A place for pilgrims to converge  Do more walking—procession  Walk on the path to appease water gods—though not on water reservoirs but leading to mountains associated with water Gods

 Conclusion: 1.The mountains were not shaved off. 2.Not an airport—not logical They are symbols of Nazcan religions and cultures.
