IMO much more likely that the lines were drawn as some kind of worship to gods believed to live in the sky, rather than for viewing by humans floating overhead

- LoSboccacc 9y agobeside plenty cultures understood how to build mega-structures to a great degree of accuracy. drawing lines is something not as common, but in the greater scope of building things larger than one can see in a single view there's plenty example. moreover, measuring and contouring fields is likely one of the first activity tribes did when they stopped being nomadic.
- clueless123 9y agoI think the idea of flying to see them is not the final objective.. just a mean to see the results of your works. Maria Reich (Principal investigator) found out a lot of correlation between some drawings and star constellations. She also found several straight lines aligned with key calendar days like harvest , summer & winter solstice and so on.
