The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert of Peru.  Archaeologists, ethnologists and anthropologists have studied the ancient Nazca culture and the complex to try to determine the purpose of the lines and figures. One theory is that the Nazca people created them to be seen by their gods in the sky.  Swiss author Erich von Däniken
suggests the Nazca lines and other complex constructions represent higher technological knowledge that he believes existed when the glyphs were created. Von Däniken maintains that the Nazca lines in Peru are runways of an ancient airfield that served ancient aliens from another culture Von Däniken's claims.  Researchers concluded the lines were made by the Nazca Pre-Incan culture between 300 B.C. and 700 A.D. Since the Nazca pampa has
an almost complete lack of windy weather or rain, the stone piles that make the lines have withstood the elements for thousands of years.

Looking at the Nazca lines, many have begun to understand what Swiss Author Erich von Däniken has theorised about ancient aliens using these air lanes like a modern day airport.  

Ancient Civilizations Possessed The Knowledge of Flight

Could it be possible that ancient civilizations possessed the knowledge for flight and that technology has been lost in history. These questions continue to bewilder many, and as we search deeper into history it seems that something must have been flying in our skies for these ancient civilizations to depict, create, and forever stamp into history the proof that
perhaps ancient aliens or ancient technology allowed for the possibility of flight!  Nazca Lines could have been an elaborate construction of runways for past civilizations to land and take of in their aircraft.  Obviously little evidence exist of past flying machinery constructed by ancients, however, little evidence exist of how the Great Pyramids of Giza were built yet

they stand tall as a world wonder. Another popular theory that the Nazca people did have the technology of flight to construct such great geoglyphs.  Helium balloons could have allowed these people to view their work form great distances in the air; however, little evidence exist to back this claim.

Erich von Däniken Makes A Startling Prediction: Aliens From Another World Used
The Nazca Lines

Erich von Daniken’s 1968 book “Chariots of the Gods” suggested that Nazca was made
as a landing strip for visitors from outer space.  Looking at a modern day landing strip, it
is easy to see the similarity that the two (Nazca Lines & Modern day Runway) have.  Since
his theory proposed in his book, Daniken has continued his research to prove that these
lines were used for the landing of alien beings.

Why would aliens land in South America?

If a race of alien beings wanted to know what Earth's mineral content was, they would use
the Peru for a base of operations.  Filled with Earth's minerals, Peru would be a perfect
location to do any kind of research about Earth and what it would have to offer.  Building
an Airport would certainly be advantageous for such a venture by an ancient civilization.

With a continued effort by many, we begin to see that challenging our beliefs about history could lead to discoveries about our ancient past.  With airport like lines spread across the Peruvian Desert and ancient model planes built by the Inca people, we see that something was indeed flying over the skies of Peru, but who and what they were will still remain a mystery. 

NOTE: IT HAS BEEN PREDICTED THAT THE FIRST LANDINGS WILL BE IN SOUTH AMERICA
