The lines of Nazca, as well as the animal and plant geoglyphs located on the vast flat expanse in southern Peru south of Lima have perplexed researchers since their rediscovery in the early 20th century. The theories as to what they represent vary from landing strips made for or by extraterrestrials to maps charting the movement of underground water. This book, by Peruvian resident and author Brien Foerster, who has lived in the Nazca area and is an expert on pre-Colombian Peru sets to solve the mystery once and for all. Using logic, archaeology, anthropology and Native oral traditions, he sets the stage for who made the Nazca features, when and why.

DISPELS SOME OF THE CONFUSION By Robert Steven Thomas The author has made many important new contributions to the fields of archaeology and anthropology. This book serves as a good historical overview of the mysterious Nazca plain, their geoglyphs and the indigenous Peruvian cultures that surround the area. It is a short, easy read and also contains many illustrative color photographs of the ancient site. Foerster also addresses most of the many legends and myths that surround this unusual archaeological site and its function. While most reasonable people will readily determine from the evidence that the lines and petroglyphs from this area were not constructed by aliens for UFO "landing strips" ... unfortunately the author did not include the central and most important mystery at this world-famous location. To form a flat surface area where these lines and glyphs were inscribed literally required "moving mountains." Entire mountain tops were leveled off. This engineering effort challenges even the Egyptian construction of the pyramid complex at Giza in it complexity. Moreover ... where did the residue that was once the tops of these mountains go? It is not found in the valleys below as one might expect. It is as if this massive volume of earth debris simply vanished into thin air. The true mystery at Nazca is "who" moved these mountains, how and for what purpose. I would be delighted if my friend Brien would do a follow-up book addressing this central and most important enigma.Intelligent Intervention
4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Independent Analysis of Nazca lines By Dr. Dave Brien Foerster has done a good job of presenting facts and cultural associations on the Nazca glyphs. He evenhandedly presented existing theories and beliefs about the lines and glyphs, and shared his perspective on their origin in a matter of fact way. He invites the reader to develop his/her own theories. A good pleasant read.

A Well Written Overview to the Nazca Lines By stephen perkins What Brien Foerster does best in his books is to synthesize a lot of information and then make it easily presentable to a wide audience. He did this with The Real History of Hawaii and his Lost Ancient Technology of Peru and Bolivia. As such, these make excellent first introductions to a subject. He does the same with Nazca: Decoding the Riddle of the Lines. He has written a book that could be read, let's say, on a flight to Peru to see the Nazca lines. Brien introduces the land, the cultures, all the leading theories about the Nazca lines and quite a few of the lesser theories.The Nazca lines were first discovered in modern times by Toriba Mejica Xesspe, and then studied, preserved, and made popular by Maria Reiche. Reiche spent her life with the Nazca lines and she gets her own chapter. Besides all of her documentation, she also found those plots of ground where many lines and symbols were plotted out; a type of blueprint if you will (and something I didn't know when I started the book). I also didn't know that the lines were dated based on one stake that had been found. Personally, I find that a bit tentative.Reich believed the lines represented the Andean constellations. Gerald Hawkins tried to relate the lines in relation to European constellations, Maria Reich was critical of that line of thinking saying that Hawkins needed to understand the Andean Constellation, which emphasized the dark regions as much or more than the lighted regions. Anthony Aveni thinks they are related to the local water sources. Johan Reinhard presented the idea that Nazca was a ritual landscape. These are all mainstream ideas. We also hear about Alan Alford's Negro slave theory, Robert Bast's symbolic cemetery, Roger Edgar's Eye of God, Evan Hadingham's shamanic theory, and more.After a brief primer on the cultural succession of the Nazca lines, we are given a tour of the major geoglyphs: The Whale, the Astronaut, The Hands and Tree, The Parrot, The Lizard, The Alcatraz, The Spider, The Condor, The Hummingbird, The Dog, and The Monkey. Foerster's believes that the Nazca lines were created by a number of the local cultures and not just the Nazca people. He includes the Paracas and the Topara cultures in the development schema. This is a well written overview to the Nazca lines and the cultures that created them.
