The small town of
Nazca is situated in an arid region 450 km south of Lima, Peru.
Looking at the immense area from the air, an unbelievable panorama
unfolds--the largest picture book in the world. It consists of three
elements:
1. straight, kilometer-long lines faithfully stretch over land over
hills, and over valleys.
2. Strips of up to 1.6 km long and 70 meters wide that look very
much like air strips.
3. Giant drawings which have been scraped into the ground and on the
mountain slopes. All these details would go unnoticed on foot or in
the car. They become recognizable only in an airplane. The observer
on the ground would see only a reddish-brown desert of hardened sand
and brownish-black gravel.
Since 1949, various theories have been postulated by scientists and
by amateurs attempting to explain the mysteries of Nazca, but none
of these theories has withstood close examination. Each of the
theories is refutable.
A group of professors from the Technical and Economics College of
Dresden, helped develop a Digital Terrain Model permitting the
creation of various computer animations of the area. "Mysteries of
the World" will simulate flights over Nazca from all possible angles
at an altitude of between 1,000 meters and ground level.
As many theories as possible concerning the mysteries of Nazca will
be presented audio-visually, as well the various contradictions. On
the walls of the foyers and passageways of the pavilion, other
places will be shown where early man has also scratched gigantic
markings in the ground. Markings for the gods. For which gods?
