As recently introduced, there is no way that aliens could possibly exist or create the Nazca Lines. The vestiges of these lines remain open for discussion, but a hypothesis that I consider to be more valid is that the Nazca Lines were constructed by the natives of the Nazca culture in Peru due to sacred, religious representations of deities that are associated to water availability. This is probably believed to promote the harvesting and success of the production of the crops. In this paper, I will use archeological data, ethnographic accounts, and historical information to determine the origins of Nazca Lines. Additionally, I will evaluate the speculative notion that the people of the Nazca culture received assistance from some advanced civilization. Consequently, I will expose the inaccurate and ridiculous theory that are made by the pseudo-archeologist about these famous geoglyphs and clarify with a more legitimate and valid reasoning for its existence.
Because the origins of the lines remain unclear, theories such as the Ancient Astronaut Theory have greatly contributed to the fields of pseudo-archeology and mainstream media. The Ancient Astronaut Theory claims that intelligent extraterrestrial beings (aliens) visited the Earth during the prehistoric times and significantly affected the progression of human development. Erich von Däniken, who is a leading contributor to the Ancient Astronaut hypothesis, suggested that massive engravings on the earth's surface required a more advanced technological ability, in this case, did not come from the Nazca natives but from the foreign extraterrestrial life that just happened to visit Earth.
Consequently, von Däniken from his 1970's book, "Chariot of the Gods," argues that the Nazca Lines could have been "built according to instructions from an aircraft." He adds: "Classical archaeology does not admit that the pre-Inca peoples could have had a perfect surveying technique.
