Over the past several decades, the U.S., Canada, and Europe have received a great deal of media and even research attention over unusual phenomena and unsolved mysteries. These include UFOs as well as sightings and encounters     1     “nonhuman creatures” such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Only recently has Latin America begun to receive some attention as well.     2     the mysteries of the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca civilizations have been known for centuries, now the public     3     (become) aware of unusual, paranormal phenomena in countries such as Peru.

The Nazca “lines” of Peru    4     (discover) in the 1930s. These lines are deeply carved into a flat, stony plain, and form about 300 intricate pictures of animals such as birds, a monkey and a lizard.     5     (see) at ground level, the designs are a jumbled senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed at a height of 1,000 feet -     6     (mean) from an aircraft. Yet there were no aircraft in 300 B.C., when it is judged the designs were made.     7     were there then, or are there now, any nearby mountain ranges from     8     to view them. So how and why did the native people of Nazca create these marvelous designs?

The scientific community did not take long to laugh at and abandon von Daniken’s theory.

Today there is a new and heightened interest in the Nazac lines. It is a direct result of the creation of the Internet. Currently there are over 60 sites dedicated to this mystery from Latin America’s past, and even respected scientists have joined in the discussion through e-mail and chat rooms.
