We then drove to a geoglyph called Las Agujas de Cantallo (the Needles ). These look like lines to nearby mountains, like Cerro Blanco- the largest sand dune in the world. Then on to El Telar (the Loom), with a spiral (yarn) next to it and a knitting needle between.Les mer
ReisendeHad no idea the world’s largest sand dune was there. Is there any history recorded about the intent of the large engravings in the ground? Were they meant to be seen from space And if so was it a deity kind of thing or was it potentially extraterrestrial focused?
ReisendeWe laugh and say that it was, but probably not. The lines point toward known important sites (e.g. the Cerro Blanco- the giant sand dune, the Cahuachi pyramid complex, etc ) and the archaeologists are pretty sure they have perfectly explainable purposes.
