Further explanation provides evidence that shows hot air balloons had not yet been invented (Reinhard 4). It was determined they there was no such thing as a hot air balloons at the time because there are no hieroglyphics that lead experts to believe this (“Nazca Lines.”). If there were hot air balloons at the time, there would be some kind of hieroglyphics left because this would have changed the ancient people’s lives significantly because this is such a big invention. (“Nazca Lines.”) An alternative theory, suggested by Mike Bara, is that these markings were used as a guide to the Gods, or ancient aliens (Burns “Treasures of…”). On the Nazca Plains some of the markings made have near to perfect geometric shapes and figures, such as the Hummingbird (Foerster 4). Research provides information that shows that around 200 BC, the time the Nazca lines were expected to have been made, the only tools that were available to those in this era were simple tools …show more content…
For instance, during her interview, Ms. Josey Philbrook profoundly stated, “I do not believe in any of it (the theory of ancient aliens), and I find it hilariously ridiculous” (Philbrook). However, evidence that rejects this idea is found throughout history and consists of the following explanations. First, there are a plethora of hieroglyphics that have been found all around the world (Burns “Treasures of…). Second, other evidence of ancient aliens includes the similarities in the structures of pyramids throughout the world (Burns “Secrets of the…”). Also, the correspondence some pyramids share to constellations, such as the three Pyramids of Giza to the stars in Orion’s Belt (Burns “Secrets of the…”). The final piece of evidence is the Nazca Lines, which are great in size and are believed to serve as a signal to those from outside of Earth (Burns “Beyond
