[edit] Shamanic Flight

There is no mention of the possibility of the use of shamanic flight in the creation of the lines; whether it be in the design process, or as part of the motivation to create the lines.

[edit] Nazca Lines pictures

I think there should be more pictures of Nazca Lines.

[edit] The correct spelling of the name is Nasca ....

...., not Nazca. Even articles within Wikipedia show such spelling.

Unfortunately, we can see the wrong spelling even locally.

[edit] Serious Refence Website

Please make this a link. It's the description of an Arthur C. Clarke Mysterious World episode which also covers the lines of Nazca. If Sir Clarke's work isn't a reference, then whose work is?

Okay, but you seem to be adding it to too many places that are not that pertinent... El_C 18:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Astronaut" is a Fisherman

Holding three fish in his right hand, a net in his left hand, wearing boots, and a hooded "raincoat". Any local could tell you this. The same fisherman symbol is used on pottery. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.17.73.18 (talk) 19:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fiction? Really?

Why is the 1968 book, Chariots of the Gods by Erich Von Daniken, listed in the "Fiction" section of this entry? Has his theory on the Nazca Lines been disproved recently?--Almightybooblikon (talk) 18:01, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Agreed, it's a legitimate theory which should be added to the first part of the article. It' definitely not fiction. 78.98.175.172 (talk) 22:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC) wlad

It's certainly not fact and has no place in a serious article. Doug Weller (talk) 07:04, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Coordinates

While the area span over several square kilometers, it would be interesting to point out this location, for being characteristic: -14° 41' 20.83", -75° 7' 22.60" (Decimal -14.689119, -75.122945‎) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.140.167.156 (talk) 16:38, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
