New Nazca lines discovered: The ultimate purpose of these earth-sky reflections scattered across the globe remains elusive. “Is it possible that the incorporation of a ‘celestial plan’ in ancient and mysterious monuments from many different parts of the world, and a particular focus on the three stars of Orion’s Belt... could be parts of a global scientific legacy passed on by a lost civilization of very remote times?” The above quotation from Graham Hancock’s bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods is part of the caption for a photograph depicting a huge spider “geoglyph.” Made in the desert like by removing the darker colored pebbles in order to leave exposed the lighter ones, this earth sculpture found on the Nazca Plain in southern Peru is 150 feet long. The German mathematician and astronomer Maria Reiche studied this and other Nazca figures and lines for over forty years. She believes that the spider’s legs were shaped to represent the outstretched limbs of Orion with its waist forming his belt. She furthermore posits that a particular line intersecting this anatomically correct arachnid from the Amazon jungles was oriented toward the heliacal setting of this constellation (like Utatlán mentioned above), perhaps for the purpose of coordinating solar and lunar calendars. from my book amazon/Mirrors-Orion-Knowledge-Ancient-World/dp/1494926768/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1407167213&sr=1-1&keywords=Mirrors+of+Orion
