The Ancient Lines That Withstand Time

Dec 12,2012 Mayans marks rare cosmic event. the Mayan had advanced writing skills like i said earlier. The Mayan were fond of Jewelry. The Maya, Incas, & the Aztecs were very very smart. They invented paper. they also invented the writing press. The Incas their are lost in antiquity but to a modern were descendants of migratory movements from Asia. the word Inca means ruler or head but it might have been a name of a tribe that lived around Lake Titikaka. an expanse of water between present-day between Peru and Bolivia that was considered sacred at an altitude of 12,500 ft it is the highest navigable lake in the world. the landscape is probably the same as when the conquistadors first saw it. the Incas where great builders they made a wall that was 12,00 feet long. the Mayan, Inca, and Aztecs are like brothers and sister. they were highly skilled because they made a lot of things like temples, boats out of straw, they also built walls to protect their villages. the Mayans enhanced their children's features the Maya desired some unnatural physical characteristics for their children. the Maya had fairly advanced

The last article talks about the 59th Unnamed Cave, in Florida. This cave is located in the eastern part of the Florida Panhandle. From the dates of the artifacts and the dates of the glyph, the site was occupied in the Late Woodland period. The cave was discover in 2007 when a group of cave explorer saw fine engravings on the wall. This site was the first cave art site that was found in Florida and it is the second rock art site that was found in the states. Rock art is very rare in Florida, but now with the site found there is a wider perspective on the importance of rock art. The site did not only include the petroglyph drawing of the past, but it included some artifacts that was use to help date the time that the cave was occupied.

The Coso Mountain Range is located at the intersection of the Great Basin and California culture area just above the eastern California desert. This region was left with arroyo walls, lava flows and pyroclastic boulders covered with petroglyphs of zoomorphic and anthropomorphic images (127). Petroglyphs are images created by carving, pecking or incising images into rock surfaces. The most common rock art element found in the Coso Range is that of bighorn sheep (129). Although bighorn sheep images were common in other parts of the Great Basin and the Southwest, these elements were seen in far greater quantities in the Coso Range. The bighorn sheep image represents more than half of the 100,000 rock art elements discovered in this region. Many

Starting in 1400 CE and continuing even today, Cuzco is the religious and administrative capital of the Incan Empire in Peru (Cartwright). Currently, the Incan Empire is the largest empire ever seen in the Americas and in the world (Cartwright). After conquering the area from the Chanca, the Incas established and named Cuzco accordingly, because the term either originated from qosqo meaning ‘dried-up lake bed’ or cozco for a specific stone marker in the city (Cartwright). Cuzco assures its visitors a wonderful experience, because it has a multitude of extravagant buildings and palaces. The Incans strategically designed their affluent city in the best geographical area possible. For instance, the city is advantageously shaped in the form of a puma, and it is composed of four highways for safe,

Lines are used to unify the artistic image on the Greek storage jar. The thicker the line the more important it is, the thinner the line the less important it is. The lines create objects which then create the entire image. Many different patterns are also

Nasca Lines The Nasca lines are geoglyphs and biomorphs, there is 70 different animals. The Nasca lines are figures carved into the ground from the ancient times. Who made these lines? How did they make these lines? What do the figures mean?(Hall, Stephen. "

The geoglyphs on the Pampa de Nazca in Peru are as stunning as they are mysterious. Many, many theories surround the lines such as aliens, slaves, or tribute to the dead. The lines could have been created as an extension of the Inca Ceque lines in Cusco for part of the water cult and the worship of the water and mountain deities, or perhaps they were created to please a ‘sky god’ seen during the unusual amount of solar eclipses during the time of construction or even as a depiction of constellations and zodiac knowledge.

The Calico early man site is a located in North America near a town known as Yermo (Patterson, 1987). This place is known for stone made structures whom individuals claimed were made by humans 200,000 years ago, instead of being created by nature (Patterson, 1987). What these findings suggest is that people lived in America earlier than what people had previously thought, due to artifact findings of manmade tools (Duvall & Venner, 1979). Furthermore, I will provide information on the Calico stone tools and why I believe they were created by nature, and then changed by man.

(2009) focus on Chokepukio, a site in the Cuzco Valley of Peru. Chokepukio is located 30 km from Cuzco in the Lucre Basin, which is the basin furthest east in the Cuzco Valley (Andrushko et al. 2009:61). It was inhabited from the era known as the Early Intermediate period until the end of the Late Horizon, which span from the years 200 BC to AD 1532 (Andrushko et al. 2009:58). The longevity of this site makes it ideal for studying migration patterns within the Cuzco Valley, because the information gathered gives insight to human movement prior to and during Inca rule (Andrushko et al. 2009:58). Also, the site is located close to the center of the Inca Empire, meaning that all state policies would be strongly enforced. This is especially important when it comes to migration patterns, due to Inca economic policies. Political economic practices functioned on the premise that the government could move people anywhere in the state, so mita laborers could pay their tribute tax (Andrushko 2009:67). This practice spread throughout the entirety of the empire, so it is logical to assume that this occurred in Chokepukio, a region near the state’s core (Andrushko 2009). This study used strontium isotope analysis to determine if people from different areas, which would imply they were different ethnically, came to Chokepukio during the time of Inca rule, and if the multi-ethnic presence pre-dated this time (Andrushko

Located deep in the Nazca Dessert in southern Peru lies one of the most identifiable archeological sites when it comes to evidence for aliens being among in the past; the Nazca Lines. Ever since they became known in the 1920s, when a commercial airplane flew over the dessert, these mysterious encryptions have puzzled scientists from anthropology to archeology, and just about anyone else fascinated by the lines and just what they mean or how they got there. Since they were discovered scientists have tried to explain them as roads, an ancient calendar system, and landing places for alien space ships. Leading alien theorist Erich Von Daniken theorizes in his book Chariots of the Gods? that the complexity and interworking’s of the glyphs were beyond the capability of the Nazca culture and that their sole purpose was to act as landing strips and that the shapes of animals were used as reference points. Although it might be easy for some people to accept these theories as the only plausible explanation, because what else could the Nazca Lines be. However, just because something is not

Undoubtedly, builders of megalithic structures were concerned about the problem of precise astronomical estimation of time intervals less than 24 hours. Not without reason in the center of the Stonehenge there is a stone “gnomon”, the sun-dial obelisk. The most ancient descriptions of sun-dials in Egypt were found in texts dating back to the time of Pharaoh Tutmos III (16th century BCE). Museum collections include a lot of ancient sun-dials, however probably the oldest sun-dial is a carved stone from the time of Pharaoh Mernepht (13th century BCE) found in Palestine. In case of ancient sun-dials they used to tell the time not by direction of the shadow but by the length of shadow. In Egypt many high ancient obelisks have a special marking around

The Nazca Lines are a fascinating world site because of their discovery. Before the creation of planes, the Nazca Desert was just another desert, but when a plane flew over the Nazca Valley many beautiful and unique drawing were

One can interpret these lines as indicating the direction that a compass needle will point if placed at that position.
