Spent an evening down a rabbit hole on this one and honestly the stellar alignment stuff holds up better than I expected, at least for some of the lines pointing toward Pleiades risings around harvest season which would've actually mattered to the people making them. But then again if you draw enough lines across a desert you're gonna hit something astronomical eventually, that's just maths. The animal geoglyphs though - I'm less convinced those are star maps and more convinced they're something weirder that we're retrofitting our "ancient people loved astronomy" narrative onto. Anyone here actually looked at the Maria Reiche research rather than just the Netflix documentary version?
Did the Nazca lines actually line up with star positions 2000 years ago or is that just wishful thinking
