And to add insult to injury, how about a small dose of Erich von Däniken?
The Nazca lines are communal. Their creation took hundreds of years and required a large number of people working on the project. Their size and their purpose have led some to speculate that visitors from another planet either created or directed the project. Erich von Däniken thinks that the Nazca lines formed an airfield for alien spacecraft*, an idea first proposed by James W. Moseley in the October 1955 issue of Fate and made popular in the early sixties by Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier in The Morning of the Magicians. If Nazca was an alien airfield, it must have been a very confusing airfield, consisting as it does of giant lizards, spiders, monkeys, llamas, dogs, hummingbirds, etc., not to mention the zigzagging and crisscrossing lines and geometric designs. It was very considerate of the aliens to depict plants and animals of interest to the locals, even though it must have meant that navigation would be more difficult than a straight runway or a large clearing. Also, the airport must have been a very busy place, needing 37 miles of runway to handle all the traffic. However, it is unlikely spacecraft could have landed in the area without disturing some of the artwork or the soil. There is no evidence of such disturbance.

I think some of the best threads are the ones that go off on tangents.. Its interesting to see how one word-- evokes in some one else an memory, an idea.. that is either so foriegn.. that we explore it.. or so universal we wonder at it.. CK-- is he Capital Kiwi-- or Captain Kiwi? (there is a thread about the fairly common misreading of CK's name..) and food-- goes on and on.. or brings a thread to an abrupt end!
