October 2, 2024 / Joseph P. Farrell / Comments Off on NEW NAZCA GLYPHS, AND SOME IMPLICATIONS
This fascinating article was shared by S.D., (with our thanks) and I knew when I saw it that it had to go immediately into the "finals" folder. Most readers of this site are aware of the famous Nazca lines in Peru, glyphs literally carved into the rock of a high plain by ancient peoples. The problem is, the glyphs are only visible from the air. No one really knows who carved them, nor why. One thing that does seem to be implied by the glyphs is that whoever carved them, did so with the understanding that they, or perhaps someone else, would be able to view them from the air, and that in turn implies three things: (1) the glyphs were possibly carved so that spirits or "the gods" would see them, or (2) the glyphs were carved because someone with the technology to be airborne could see them, or (3) both. Regarding possibility number 2, many researchers have speculated, given the "runway" nature of some of these glyphs, that whomever they were intended for possessed some sort of airplane technology. Possibly. But a much simpler hot air balloon or even prototypical dirigible or zeppelin technology would be equally possible as explanations.
Keep that speculation in mind, because it influences today's high octane speculation, because, it seems, hundreds of new Nazca glyphs have been recently discovered, and by a most unusual method at that:
Note what has happened to make this recent discovery of many more such glyphs possible:
Now, using drones and AI, a team led by archaeologist and anthropologist Masato Sakai of Yamagata University in Japan has discovered a jaw-dropping 303 more in just six months – nearly doubling the known number.
With the discovery comes new insight regarding the function of the mysterious symbols.
Some of the glyphs, interpreted as humanoid, or humans wearing headdresses. (Sakai et al., PNAS, 2024)
"The reason why the purpose of the geoglyphs' creation remained unknown for so long is that previous researchers lacked basic information about the distribution and types of geoglyphs," Sakai told ScienceAlert.
"However, in this paper, thanks to field surveys utilizing AI and remote sensing, the distribution of the geoglyphs has been clarified. As a result, we were able to shed light on the purpose behind their creation."
This purpose, the researchers believe, is sacred – designed as part of a pilgrimage to Cahuachi, the ceremonial center of the Nazca culture, which overlooks some of the glyphs from high perches atop mounds.
The glyphs have been difficult to uncover for several reasons. One of those is that they were first carved into the plateau between 500 BCE and 500 CE, and weathering over hundreds of years has greatly reduced their detectability.
Another obstacle is that the sheer size of the Nazca Pampa prohibits fieldwork on the ground. It's simply too huge a job.
"Because the Nazca Pampa is so vast, at 400 square kilometers (154 square miles), it takes a long time to conduct research...
So in other words, chalk it all up to possibility number (1) and the usual "it was all for primitive religion" explanation.
Except that now there appears to be a new mystery, implied both by the method used to create the newly discovered glyphs, and by the method used to detect them:
So Sakai and his colleagues teamed up with the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center to develop an algorithm for identifying faint glyphs amid the rubble on the Nazca Pampa from drone images.
Of the 303 new glyphs, 178 – more than half – were suggested by the AI, revealing the power of this tool to assist in human-led research efforts.
These new glyphs belong to the category known as relief-type geoglyphs. They are smaller and harder to identify than the larger, line-type geoglyphs, which makes the new haul especially intriguing. The previously discovered 430 glyphs consisted of 380 relief-type glyphs, and 50 line-type glyphs.
Both types of glyphs depict different things. The relief-type glyphs mostly depict humans and domesticated animals, while the line-type glyphs mostly depict wild animals. But their size, placement, and distribution also reveal what they may have been used for, the researchers say.
"In the case of relief-type geoglyphs, you can see them if you walk along the trails. Therefore, I believe that the trails were created so that people could see the relief-type geoglyphs while walking along them," Sakai explained.
"On the other hand, in the case of line-type geoglyphs, they are concentrated around the starting and ending points of the network of linear geoglyphs. This network is connected to ceremonial centers Cahuachi and sacred places, so I believe that people walked along the network."
And that leads to a new problem:
Cahuachi is known to be a site to which humans undertook pilgrimages, traveling to the adobe architectural complex, possibly for gatherings and ceremonies, although the exact ways in which the site was used, and why it was special, are poorly understood. (Emphasis added)
So we're left where we began, merely pushing back the fundamental mystery even further: why were two methods (one very difficult and presumably costly and time-consuming to do) used? Indeed, do the two types of methods actually represent two entirely and temporally separate layers of construction? and thus, two possible peoples of creative communities?
And then, of course, there is the whopper-doozie of a speculative question that hangs over it all, suspended like Wile E. Coyote before his plunge into the canyon of reality below: what if the relief glyphs were deliberately created in the way they were in order to be re-discovered much later when the technology and means to do so finally came into existence?
Wherever one stands on all these high octane bizarreries and speculations, one thing is very clear: the Nazca glyphs and lines just became a whole lot more mysterious.
See you on the flip side....

I wonder if the people had any input/schooling from the visitors?
Did the concept of the glyphs where supposed to do, get across?
And the people; simply put their own signature to the concept of conveying the information.
Which means, what types of information are in the glyph.
Are the animals, minerals, placements, sizes & directions just part of the “total” picture?
Do they read like hieroglyphics; but all rolled into one picture?
Really, how much information is in these glyph?
Is the sum total – greater than the parts?

Did the concept of what the glyphs were suppose to do – get across to the people; who then put there own ideas to the visitors. In other words, was there coomunication between them, and thereby – subsequent agreements. The glyphs being a prime example.

If they had only sat down and talked to the locals maybe we would some idea what these petrographs mean

Scientific objectivity is limited, by the epistemic framework of academia, which is a Jesuit box for the mind, and, kindergartners have often a more keener grasp of reality, being, spontaneously, more connected to the source of imagination.

Maybe the drawings on the plains are meant for the Gods asking for fertile soil, good crops and produce. Those drawings that are on the path, perhaps are for the people to encourage their Faith, in a similar way that icons in a church help worshippers when they attend the liturgy.

At Mount Rushmore, there is, originally, a local compass narrative attributed, and, precisely therefore, the Vatican minions petroglyphed their facial imprints, from their own bootprints – because the Vatican puppet master is eager, to colonize Russia, and enslave indigenous, by turning sacred groves, into imperial idols, by cutting down the oak trees.

A wandering giant, earth bound, has tales to tell, from deep within the soul.
The planetary flying mountains, roam deep above, and sing celestial songs.
Foregone lineages speak, across time, and their voices are carried, by mountains.
A mountain lake is Harry Potter’s Pensieve.

The shaman graffiti is probably a local variation of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”, with themes, from popular nursery rhymes.
Example: at the fork in the road, the spoon ran off with the moon, which left the knife wondering, about the teapot tempest.
The word “lord” meant, originally, a loaf ward, which is, of course, not taken literally, because it was always a humorous metaphor.
Carlos Castaneda’s Don Juan is a trickster by trade, from outside the box, and, he is seen, as riddlesome, from within the box.

Primogeniture, with patriarchal blessing, is the universal means of intergenerational transfer of power, and the problem of firstborn autism was solved, by Jacob, by inventing the first republic, where an occasional autist wouldn’t change the overall picture, because the council majority would guarantee reason.
When a second-sighted, and out-of-body, capability is seen, as a guarantee, for societal stability, then an image grafted, into the landscape, becomes a test, to deem a second-sighted leadership rightful, and, thereby, preventing occurrence of autism, in intergenerational transfer of power.
Elijah’s Odin runes have a similar purpose, to prevent nincompoop autism, from holding the rein, because a test of maturity, by symbols, that depict the progression of psyche, on the timeline, can only be understood in hindsight – which means, that the runes are lived forwards, and understood backwards.
When such preemptive means are not in place, a society quickly degenerates, into a nincompoop Hollywood, where pretenders cling to power, in a doll’s house, which is the present state of the West, that is ruled by Vatican Voldemort, through Pinocchio minions.
BTW, Russian leadership has second-sighted councillors, in Siberia, which is a Rasputin tradition, and, in the Holy Scriptures, such wight capability is known, as prophecy.

‘Steering’, fine tuning or child’s play?
Cosmic child’s play, that is. Oops.
The carved, flat “runway” type mountain tops in the Nazca region are also fascinating. (scroll to the bottom to find the photos or Google for larger, cleared images). https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid036k64SvAuvJP7otF4RthhqJX2bccF8jWqVRAnoydrMJc9cpF4bHm3XXGSR1VUrJeUl&id=1404030349915486&mibextid=OJm7Ch
