The lines of Nazca, as well as the animal and plant geoglyphs located on the vast flat expanse in southern Peru south of Lima have perplexed researchers since their rediscovery in the early 20th century. The theories as to what they represent vary from landing strips made for or by extraterrestrials to maps charting the movement of underground water. This book, by Peruvian resident and author Brien Foerster, who has lived in the Nazca area and is an expert on pre-Colombian Peru sets to solve the mystery once and for all. Using logic, archaeology, anthropology and Native oral traditions, he sets the stage for who made the Nazca features, when and why.

This book also photo-copy,not a real book.
I like the way this history as been written. lots of research and information. I suggest to all interested in archaeology to buy it.
This book is so good and interesting. It makes you think.
Brien Foerster has done a good job of presenting facts and cultural associations on the Nazca glyphs. He evenhandedly presented existing theories and beliefs about the lines and glyphs, and shared his perspective on their origin in a matter of fact way. He invites the reader to develop his/her own theories. A good pleasant read.
Very interesting information related in an understandable fashion. References to many sources is appreciated. Having met and talked with Brien, I found this book much like having a conversation with him - educational without being stuffy. Thanks for another good book, Brien!
Very good insight into the Nazca area and the theories behind the lines. I did the actual flyover this past week in a 12 passenger Cessna and the experience was a little disappointing. Not much time was allotted to see or photograph the lines and the pilots spoke no English. The book was interesting. I recommend.
What Brien Foerster does best in his books is to synthesize a lot of information and then make it easily presentable to a wide audience. He did this with The Real History of Hawaii and his Lost Ancient Technology of Peru and Bolivia. As such, these make excellent first introductions to a subject. He does the same with Nazca Decoding the Riddle of the Lines. He has written a book that could be read, let's say, on a flight to Peru to see the Nazca lines. Brien introduces the land, the cultures, all the leading theories about the Nazca lines and quite a few of the lesser theories.
The Nazca lines were first discovered in modern times by Toriba Mejica Xesspe, and then studied, preserved, and made popular by Maria Reiche. Reiche spent her life with the Nazca lines and she gets her own chapter. Besides all of her documentation, she also found those plots of ground where many lines and symbols were plotted out; a type of blueprint if you will (and something I didn't know when I started the book). I also didn't know that the lines were dated based on one stake that had been found. Personally, I find that a bit tentative.
Reich believed the lines represented the Andean constellations. Gerald Hawkins tried to relate the lines in relation to European constellations, Maria Reich was critical of that line of thinking saying that Hawkins needed to understand the Andean Constellation, which emphasized the dark regions as much or more than the lighted regions. Anthony Aveni thinks they are related to the local water sources. Johan Reinhard presented the idea that Nazca was a ritual landscape. These are all mainstream ideas. We also hear about Alan Alford's Negro slave theory, Robert Bast's symbolic cemetery, Roger Edgar's Eye of God, Evan Hadingham's shamanic theory, and more.
After a brief primer on the cultural succession of the Nazca lines, we are given a tour of the major geoglyphs The Whale, the Astronaut, The Hands and Tree, The Parrot, The Lizard, The Alcatraz, The Spider, The Condor, The Hummingbird, The Dog, and The Monkey. Foerster's believes that the Nazca lines were created by a number of the local cultures and not just the Nazca people. He includes the Paracas and the Topara cultures in the development schema. This is a well written overview to the Nazca lines and the cultures that created them.
