¿What are these lines? Theories.
• Paul Kosov said that it was an astronomical map, whose function
was to record the movements of the stars and constellations.

• Extraterrestrial theory emerged by Erich Von Daniken, according to

which the trapezoidal drawing was a landing strip, and the giant
was the alien depicted.

• Theory of the Calendar, according to Maria Reiche, the drawings

are the calendar and map of the largest vault in the world, they are
lines in all directions to observe the movements of the sun and the
moon.

• Dr. Anthony Aveni, discovered that many straight lines were oriented
to small rivers and irrigation channels. He believes that the end of
those lines is to walk on them and pray to the gods of water to make
the earth fertile.

• David Johnson says it would be a huge map of the underground

water resources.

 The nature of the
lines.

• The Nazca lines are real roads.

• The drawings were made by
removing the small stones from
the road area and placing them
on both sides, thus forming
slightly raised edges.
• We must bear in mind that the
lines of these lines are always
continuous and never cross
each other, and complete very
close to the initial point.
