Who Carved These Mysterious Lines in the Desert?

[@Pou1gie1]

@3:00 I can't believe that is 2000 years old and looks that well preserved! It's the coolest piece of textile art I've ever seen.

[@lane99]

I also can't believe it. To the point that, well, I don't believe it.

[@cruisepaige]

That fabric at the beginning is astonishing. I’m glad it’s back in Peru.

These funerary textiles are mind blowing, the last one is completely insane!! I find meso-American art peculiarly fascinating, it's incredibly rare to stumble on something like this. the intricate motifs and the incredible quality of the work look so surreal even today. Personally I don't think that the imagery represented is just a representation of the agricultural cycle. I think it represents a spiritual experience brought on by their shamans and use of their psychoactive plants, it could be a representation of their complex spiritual belief system illustrated on a funerary blanket. We are very fortunate to have found these relics!

They were created 2500 years ago. The area use to not be a desert.

One unique human trait is art in time consuming detail. Culture 💖

I knew it! Cats are the rulers of the world! 😸 Great docu, btw. Watched it twice on TV.

[@PedroFerreira-ze5yp]

absolutely amazing! these peoples knew more than we take them for...

[@nightjarflying]

Like what? They knew a lot about human sacrifice for example?

[@DjWellDressedMan]

@@nightjarflying First Nations domesticated 60% of the World's Food, potato, tomato, chocolate, blue berries, Peppers, and sure, my people would have put an ignorant lout like you on a Fire yesterday and maybe tomorrow?

[@nightjarflying]

@@DjWellDressedMan Not 60% of the world's food no matter how you choose to measure it. The Paracas are recent - only 3,000 years ago - that's whom I'm asking about, not the early aboriginals of 15k years ago. They had dyes, textiles, agriculture, pottery & water management, plus a nice line in sacrificing their citizens when required - so what is it these people knew that's "more than we take them for"?

[@mascadadelpantion8018]

Amazing

[@EyesOfByes]

1:18 Looks like the Nyan Cat (pun intended)

[@nerminsnowhuseinbasic9340]

Maybe way more people lived there then we think, that is one possibility to make these.

[@intricatic]

I did. I'm so sorry. I was just trying to draw a picture of my beloved cat.

[@robtennapel78]

The grays and mantis live underground. Maybe the singings are sos marks that the are still alive in the citadel.

[@24whoanelly]

But why did they do it

[@nancyM1313]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@ImmortalIdeas]

Not the nasca...they tried but clearly went a different direction..

[@chris.asi_romeo]

They were created by an advanced civilization before the great flood.

[@jonathanj8303]

No they weren't. Apart from anything else, the lines are made simply by separating out different colours of loose stones on the desert floor. To make lighter lines, they simply tossed all the darker stones elsewhere. If there had been a "great flood" the lines wouldn't have survived.

[@alandavenport2724]

This is frikken amazing ? Main stream archeology needs to step aside and we need to rethink what we claim to know !

*#NO** it wasn’t. Lol* 😆😂🤣😜 👎🏼

[@bngr_bngr]

@@jeffdavis5723 I’m Peruvian, it was.

[@danburch8880]

I read another DNA study. This one provided conclusive evidence that the paracas people came from the Balkans. Nobody wants to talk about that?

[@I_am_a_human_not_a_commodity]

We're still talking about this? Find some actual content, PBS.

[@kateapple1]

I’m sorry, what did you do today? 😂 they’re still talking about it because it’s unresolved. oh! there’s this button it has an X on it and you can press it and the video goes away! sorcery 😂😂
