The landing strip theory's basically been dead since the 70s tbh. Erich von Däniken ran with it hard but the actual archaeology doesn't hold up - the ground is far too soft to support any craft worth imagining, ancient or otherwise.
What I find more interesting from a remote viewing angle is that some of the lines follow geomagnetic pathways. I've done a few RV sessions targeting the Nasca plateau and kept picking up on ritual procession rather than anything aerial. Could be noise on my end, obviously, but it lines up with what researchers like Anthony Aveni have documented - the lines as ceremonial walkways tied to water sources and astronomical alignments.
The trapezoids especially. They're massive, flat, and oriented toward mountain glaciers. That's not a runway, that's a prayer.
The alien landing theory persists purely because it's a better story. Doesn't mean it's worth entertaining seriously in 2024 when we've got solid ethnoarchaeological data pointing elsewhere.
Anyone here done any dowsing or field work near the region? Curious whether the water channel hypothesis resonates with anyone who's looked at it practically rather than just from satellite imagery.
