the nazca lines: good art

if you fly over nazca, peru you can see a series huge geoglyphs scattered across the desert.  if you even notice them from the ground they look like shallow trenches, but when viewed from above the trenches organize themselves into monkeys, hummingbirds, and spiders.

no one knows why they were made.  most experts
think they served a religious purpose.  others think they were astronomical timekeepers.  a few say the lines were made by extraterrestrial life forms.  no one but me seems to think that it looks like the monkey has a stick up its butt.

the point is, any drawing that some people seriously attribute to aliens is pretty good art.
