Nazcalinesandculture----納斯卡線與文化資料來自網(wǎng)絡(luò)致謝納斯卡線條(NazcaLines)納斯卡線條(NazcaLines)位于秘魯南部的納斯卡地區(qū),是存在了2000年的謎局:一片綿延幾公里的線條,構(gòu)成各種生動的圖案,鑲刻在大地之上,至今仍無人能破解——究竟是誰創(chuàng)造了納斯卡線條、它們又是怎樣創(chuàng)造出來的、神秘線條背后意味著什么,因此納斯卡線條被列入十大迷團(tuán)。TheNazcaLines【’n?zk?】areaseriesofancientgeoglyphslocatedintheNazcaDesertinsouthernPeru.TheyweredesignatedasaUNESCOWorldHeritageSitein1994.Thehigh,aridplateaustretchesmorethan80kilometres(50

Flower自山坡上向外凝望,一個一百英尺(約30米)高、有貓頭鷹眼的圖形赫然在目,它可能是由納斯科時期一直占據(jù)此地的古代帕拉斯卡人所制作的。之后,隨著季風(fēng)雨所形成的洪水沖刷掉了周圍的地形和圖形中的鐵銹色的巖石,顯露出下層的黃砂。據(jù)說這只金剛鸚鵡出土于卡瑞茲勒斯地區(qū)的納斯卡墓地。由于這片地區(qū)氣候又熱又干燥的緣故,這只金剛鸚鵡被自然風(fēng)干,從而很好的保護(hù)了它鮮艷的顏色。這種金剛鸚鵡來自于遙遠(yuǎn)的亞馬遜雨林,它很可能是被作為寵物來豢養(yǎng),最終與它的主人一同埋葬。這條出自卡華奇在慶典儀式上使用的鑲邊圍巾,其上好似好似長發(fā)頭顱的編織物在與真實(shí)生活中獻(xiàn)祭的頭顱十分相似。這種神圣的納斯卡符號反襯出他們當(dāng)時的物質(zhì)文化。這是一只陶土做的猴子,手里似乎抓著一碗花生,這只陶猴發(fā)現(xiàn)在卡華奇慶典儀式現(xiàn)場,它也許代表了一種由納斯卡上流人士所養(yǎng)的寵物。沿著南美洲大西洋沿岸的貿(mào)易,可能會將現(xiàn)在屬于厄爾瓜多赤道森林中的白額卷尾猴、蜘蛛猴和棕色絨毛猴帶入納斯卡區(qū)域。還有一只靈長類動物呈現(xiàn)了神話般的尺寸,身長三百多英尺(約90多米),在沙漠地表栩栩如生。塞羅布蘭科是世界上最高的沙丘之一,它矗立在沙漠中央,海拔約6800英尺(約2040米)。納斯卡當(dāng)?shù)厝苏f,在沙丘中央有個湖泊,并認(rèn)為它是水的源頭。時至今日,此種觀念仍在當(dāng)?shù)厝酥虚g延續(xù)。而且,常有一些人攜帶著獻(xiàn)祭用的陶土器皿行至沙丘頂部朝圣,正如一千三百多年前的古代納斯卡人那么做的一樣。自從這一宗教中心衰落之后(專家們?nèi)耘f對它衰落的真正原因爭論不休),納斯卡開始建造深井蓄水池來承接山間的雨水。
一位工作者正在道路上灑水以解決cantayoc溝渠的浮塵。這是觀光者最喜歡探索的通往普基奧的古代通道之一。一座由井構(gòu)成的網(wǎng)絡(luò),石頭鑄成的通道將其連接起來。納斯卡建造開發(fā)的蓄水池現(xiàn)在仍能為當(dāng)?shù)氐纳鐓^(qū)提供水源??拷_布蘭科的地方,一棵枯死的“huarango”樹仍矗立著,昭示著這里曾經(jīng)是一片提供陰涼的蔥郁樹林。一些科學(xué)家認(rèn)為,由于清理地面搞農(nóng)業(yè)耕作,納斯卡現(xiàn)在已變得比以前更加干燥了。Determininghowtheyweremadehasbeeneasierthanfiguringwhytheyweremade.ScholarshavetheorizedtheNazcapeoplecouldhaveusedsimpletoolsandsurveyingequipmenttoconstructthelines.Archaeologicalsurveyshavefoundwoodenstakesinthegroundattheendofsomelines,whichsupportthistheory.Onesuchstakewascarbon-datedandwasthebasisforestablishingtheageofthedesigncomplex.ThescholarJoeNickelloftheUniversityofKentuckyhasreproducedthefiguresbyusingtoolsandtechnologyavailabletotheNazcapeople.TheNationalGeographiccalledhiswork"remarkableinitsexactness"whencomparedtotheactuallines.Withcarefulplanningandsimpletechnologies,asmallteamofpeoplecouldrecreateeventhelargestfigureswithindays,withoutanyaerialassistance.Ontheground,mostofthelinesareformedbyashallowtrenchwithadepthofbetween10
