In Search Of... Ancient Aviators (aka Ancient Flight) Part 2

Season 1, Episode 3 (4/24/1977)
Part 2 of 3

In this episode we investigate the mysterious markings on the plains of Nazca in Peru. What are these mysterious markings and who made them and why? Were they an ancient landing field for aliens? The signs and symbols of various birds and insects are only discernibly from the air. How then could the ancient Nazca's made them unless they had an aerial view in which to work them out. What are the mysterious arrow straight lines that seem to lead nowhere and why are they there? These and other strange markings in the area make us wonder who made them and why? Were they man made or did someone else put them there?

Besides their original value as entertainment, TV shows this old, like those from the 60's and 50's are unique sociological summations of the era in which they were made. The editing and scripting are all artifacts of a particular time, place and attitude. Love it!

Jesus, this was from the late 70's... I remember watching these when I was in elementary school... yet it seems like just yesterday. I used to love the electronic music in the show...that kind of music was just beginning to catch on as something one could get into without that much money... well.. less than $5000. :)

@ActiveStorage yea yea i thought the same thing

but as the land is so dry it isn't even dusty, so if there even is some wind there's nothing to blow away

[ActiveStorage]

@4BadKarma ok rain free maybe, but no wind there? how is that possible. those are huge open spaces right there and no wind? sounds like bs to me

[4BadKarma]

@ActiveStorage there is an answer to that question

as those figures were drawn on a plain which is wind and rain free, so it is impossible to erode

i wonder how they knew that back then though

[kenjutsu34]

@KIDLAMPARA you remind me of that daddy cool guy in Bravo Two Zero. He couldn't speak English either.

[Aghostdance]

droughts, and people not messing with them would be my guess

[KIDLAMPARA]

[ActiveStorage]
