I am going to explain the mystery of Nazca runways in the desert. I hope this will piece

all the mysteries of the Nazca lines together. The runways, why the huge nazca figures that

don't make much sense from the ground, and the reason for all of them.

First of all, I am going to throw the alien runway theory out the window. I am not trying

to say that aliens never visited earth or had any influence in Nazca, but I am going

to give you a more human explanation. With these runways, we can almost be certain that

these are NOT runways for alien aircrafts. To begin with, if extra terrestrials did land

in Nazca, they would have arrived through space which requires advanced flying devices.

A mile long runway would not be necessary for an alien aircraft to land. In fact, even

our modern day aircrafts (for example, Harrier Jump Jet) can be used without runways. Secondly,

these runways are carefully created by removing pebbles from the ground, a task that was definitely

If you are not familiar with these Nazca runways, I will give you a quick walkthrough. When

you begin to fly over the Nazca desert, you are going see these bands, stretching over

miles. They come in a vareity of different shapes like rectangles and trapezoids. Even

a layman cannot help but think these are runways or airstrips. When I flew over the Nazca desert,

I had a U.S Airforce veteran who flew with me, and he absolutely, categorically thought

Did the Nazca people experiment with flying?

This is a very relevant question. Did the Nazca people try to fly? History is filled

with people around the world who tried to fly. We are not talking about Vimanas of India,

as some may claim that this is pure mythology. Let us talk about concrete, documented history.

In the 9th century A.D, a scientist by name Abbas Ibn Fiernas in Spain, flew by simply

using an enclosure made of feathers. In 1010 A.D, Eilmer of Malmesbury created an aircraft

and flew for 600 feet before falling down. Note that the late Nazca period was from 550

to 750 A.D, not very far from the first quote on quote 'documented' flying attempts.

If the Nazca people did experiment with flying, the runways become very relevant. Even assuming

they did not have complex design ideas they could have tried hang gliders and other primitive

gliding devices. A glider does not depend on an engine for its flight, it can solely

work on wind. Hang gliding requires even simpler materials, and you can maneuver your flight

Look at the runway above. What do we see? The runway runs all the way to the top of

a hill. The runway is designed perfectly, and smoothed to get rid of rough patches on

the desert. Could it be because a glider would be pushed all the way over the top of the

hill and then let go? Launching from an elevated level is the most common hang gliding technique

used today. Remember, archeologists say wheels were not used by the Nazca or the Inca. So,

the ramp you see in the picture would be perfect for pushing objects like gliders using logs.

In fact ramps were heavily used by Inca people to move rocks who lived farther away in Peru.

In that case, the glider would atleast fly for several minutes. Also, the desert would

be a perfect place for flight experiments, as you wont crash into trees, houses or other

structures. We have to admit that this is a possibility, as there are no other reasonable

Could the Nazca have been successful at flying?

Remember we talked about 2 guys who flew for a short time in the 9th and 11th century?

Both of them admitted that they didn't fly longer because their design did not have a

tail. not far from the Nazca civilization, archaeologists have discovered an ancient

aircraft model. you can see how it resembles a modern aircraft. It is has a solid aerodynamic

design with symmetric wings, a vertical tail and even a horizontal stabilizer! If we made

a bigger, lighter model of this artifact, it could be used a glider. Of course, this

is keeping things "primitive", by not adding engines or control systems. This model would

work as a glider. Look at the similarity between the modern day glider. Same features: Symmetric

wings, a tail and a horizontal stabilizer.

If the Nazca people were successful at flying, even if it just with gliders, suddenly all

the Nazca lines become very relevant. A hang glider or a glider aircraft could be pushed

off a mountain top which would fly as much as the wind would support it. The Nazca desert

is always, always windy, so they would have even flown for hours! With even 10 minutes

of flight, they can cover a vast area and enjoy many of the Nazca figures from above!

With hundreds of runways all over the desert, they could view the whole of the Nazca desert.

Therefore, able to watch and enjoy the Nazca lines.

Let us quickly summarize the evidence that Nazca people could have flown:

1. Hundreds of smooth, flattened surfaces closely resembling modern runways have been

created by men all over the Nazca desert.

2. Many of the runways are inclined, which suggest that objects were moved up and down

3. A Golden aircraft like artifact, looking very similar to a modern day glider has been

4. Hundreds of huge Nazca figures have been created, which would make no sense from the

ground, but is visible only from higher altitudes.

Here is my last question: Is it time to agree that the Nazca people did in fact, fly? What

I hope you enjoyed this new perspective and it gave you a logical explanation for the

Nazca runways and Nazca lines. If you liked this video, please share it with your frieds
