The answer to the mystery of the Nazca Lines lies in the massive amount of fish symbolism that we find in Tiwanaku. The sky god of Tiwanaku was clearly a fish and the people of Tiwanaku concluded that he came from the sea. Then, when this flying fish went away, the people of Tiwanaku assumed that he went back to the sea, but the people of Tiwanaku wanted their sky god to stay around, they wanted him to come back.
Thus, Tiwanaku sent its armies down to the coastal regions to make signs for the sky god to see and direct it back to city of Tiwanaku.
In northern Chile, the Tiwanaku armies made the Atacama Giant geoglyph on the side of a cliff facing the sea. The Atacama Giant has hands raised, to welcome the sky god as he emerged from the sea and pointing out the flight path back to Tiwanaku.
In Nazca, the Tiwanaku armies made geoglyphs across a wide area, again to attract the attention of the sky god and entertain it as soon as it emerged from the sea and went into flight over land. The armies made the Astronaut geoglyph on the side of a cliff facing the sea, which like the Atacama Giant, has hand raised to welcome to the sky god coming out of the sea. The armies made pointers and many lines that converged on water sources, so that the flying fish could descend and refresh itself in pools of water before continuing on its return flight to Tiwanaku. More inland, the armies made giant trapezoids, pointing the way back to Tiwanaku.
In Paracas, to the north of Nazca, the armies made the Candelabra geoglyph, a giant drawing of the sky god's tri-pod tail, again on the side of a cliff facing the sea. Visible from many miles out to sea, this trident-like geoglyph points southeast, that is, the way back to Tiwanaku.
The mystery of the Nazca Lines can be considered firmly resolved: Tiwanaku made the Nazca Lines in a desperate attempt to coax their sky god into coming home.
A few years ago I saw a directory listing with a description of something like: "I was abducted by aliens last summer. It really happened." Though I had a lot of interest in aliens, I did not even consider visiting that website. Of course, if this person was genuinely abducted by aliens, I would want to read about it but I have learned from experience that there was almost no chance of this being a true story. In some ways it is wonderful that humankind has advanced to the point of ignoring all the nonsense and quackery. On the other hand, if anyone really did have contact with an alien, it would be almost impossible to get any attention.
Case in point are drawings from the Andean region of South America and dating back to early medieval times. Here I am not referring to the famous Nazca Lines which could have a non-alien explanation. I am referring to the sky-god drawings of Tiwanaku (Tiahuanaco), a city in the Bolivian highlands. In Tiwanaku, there are no geoglyphs (ground drawings) like in Nazca, but here we find clear depictions of a creature that may be an ancient astronaut. It does not take a lot of imagination to envision a four-fingered creature (the face is clearly non-human) wearing an astronaut's helmet with a transparent visor. One engraving has twenty fish-head symbols overwhelmingly indicating that this creature was an aquatic. Indeed, it is easy to imagine that the astronaut's helmet was filled with water. Tiwanaku drawings strongly imply that their sky god was a fish.
Enter the cynics: "They ate fish and made a drawing of the local fisherman." Archaeologists have determined that Tiwanaku was an agricultural community but, true, Lake Titicaca is only some twenty kilometers away. Fortunately, not all the depictions of the alleged alien display fish head symbols. In some, the fish heads are gone and replaced with condor heads (symbolic of flight). Hence, this creature was not only a fish, it was a flying fish, whence it became a sky god, the sky god of the Andes. No doubt, the cynics will now counter, with total disdain for the intelligence of the Andean peoples: "They ate birds too, and this is the local bird hunter."
Depictions of the Andean sky god are found not only in Tiwanaku, Bolivia, but also in Nazca, Peru, where he turns up not in the geoglyphs but on pottery dating from the same epoch. The city of Tiwanaku is much older than the Nazca Lines but archaeologists have noted stages of development. The timing of Tiwanaku's sky-god phase does indeed correspond with the timing of the Nazca Lines, and the Nazca depiction is close enough to the Tiwanaku depiction that we can conclude that these sky gods are one and the same. This has always been the major hurdle for alien theories about the Nazca Lines: lots of ground drawings to be viewed from the sky but no depiction of the aliens. But here on the Nazca vase we find the alien, and that alien was the sky god of Tiwanaku.
There is, however, one important difference between the Tiwanaku drawings and the Nazca drawing. In the Nazca drawing, the alien is depicted with human-like feet, though the fish heads just above the feet and looking down suggest that these are not really human feet but fish feet. Nonetheless, no Tiwanaku depiction of their sky god shows the alien with feet that even remotely resemble human feet (feet are seen only in depictions of animal and human symbolization of the alien's qualities, never on the sky god himself) and in fact their direct drawings of the alien display no feet at all. That makes sense. The alien didn't have feet but rather an aquatic tail that dragged behind it and hence was not visible from a frontal view. Thus, the artist of Nazca made the pottery drawing from one of Tiwanaku's frontal image depictions that came into his possession, and then merely improvised the feet. The drawing of the Tiwanaku sky god on a Nazca vase cannot alone lead us to conclude that Tiwanaku made the Nazca Lines (a major theme of this website) but it does indicate that Tiwanaku artwork was present in Nazca.
So what did the alien's fish feet really look like? That's easy to answer. While the artist of Nazca may have never seen the alien up close, the artists of Tiwanaku sure did and they provide us with plenty of drawings. The alien had an aquatic tail that split into three appendages, and each appendage ended in a pod with three toe-like protrusions. In one drawing, the alien's arms are raised up as it is about to launch itself into the air. Apparently, the displayed hand-held devices are providing the power, likely an anti-gravitational field around the alien as its tail (lighter than the body) is rising first. The left and right pods are displayed upward and outwards while the middle pod of the alien's tail is depicted up above the alien's head. The Nazca drawing likewise displays the middle pod up above the alien's helmet, but evidently the Nazca artist did not know what it is, in other words, it is virtually certain that the Nazca drawing was based on a Tiwanaku image.
On my blog, someone inquired if I thought that the helmet of the ancient astronaut had protrusions coming from it. I replied that there was no basis for making that conclusion since the artists of Tiwanaku attached symbols to pretty much everything, not just the helmet. But I have changed my mind about that. Look up at the image on the header panel of this website. Note that above the normal symbolic protrusions, there are four very large protrusions. Now take a look at these images of the Atacama Giant geoglyph. And finally, to fully comprehend what I am alluding to, take a look at these Axolotl images.
This self-propulsion concept could explain why we don't find drawings of any type of landing craft. To all appearances, the alien didn't use landing craft. It simply put on its water-filled space suit, grabbed hold of its powerful instruments, and then spiraled down to Earth (the Andeans made so many drawings of spirals that we have to conclude that the alien descended from the sky in a spiral motion, like water funneling down a drain). Meanwhile, the puma heads seem to suggest that the alien did not rise up into the sky in complete silence, that is, creation of the anti-gravitational field may have made an audible "roaring" sound.
The artists of Tiwanaku also made drawings displaying the alien's tri-pod tail intact. These drawings of the aquatic tail are significant as they clearly establish that the sky god of Tiwanaku was not human. As far as I have been able to determine, this aquatic tail does not resemble any plant or animal life form known to exist on planet Earth, past or present. Later on, you will find an article on the theme of alien evolution.
The tail drawings do resemble, however, the Candelabra geoglyph found on a cliff facing the sea in Paracas, Peru. Note that each reflects three appendages, and each appendage ends in a pod, and from each pod three “toes” protrude. For a long time the Candelabra geoglyph has mystified archaeologists, but Tiwanaku drawings make it clear that this geoglyph is nothing more than a depiction of the tail of the sky god of Tiwanaku. Thus, the Tiwanaku empire reached Paracas, which lies to the northwest of Nazca, but Tiwanaku lies to the southeast of Nazca. In other words, the Tiwanaku empire had to have crossed the Nazca plain.
Some of our scientists would have us believe that the ancient peoples of Nazca flew around in hot-air balloons, hence they made those ground drawings to help sell balloon-ride tickets. Don't believe them!
Archaeological evidence from the Andes overwhelming supports the theory of contact with an alien. There are dozens of surviving images of the alien from Tiwanaku alone. In great detail, these drawings depict the alien's fish-like face and mouth, its reptile-like eyes, its astronaut helmet replete with sunlight reflectors around the visor and air bubbles inside the visor, its four-fingered hands, its tri-pod tail, its front-mounted voice transmitter, not to mention those hand-held instruments that suddenly contracted and split open upon liftoff up into the sky.
Turning a blind eye to all this evidence, our scientists continue to propose one ludicrous non-alien theory after another. I read about a new one just a few months ago. It seems that scientists from National Geographic came up with conclusive proof that the Nazca Lines have nothing to do with aliens: they found that some of the lines point to water sources. I saw just a brief clip so I don't know how they explained the circular-type drawings (which obviously point to nowhere) or explained how the people of Nazca managed to get airborne in order to follow the lines. Nonetheless, this may be the first scientific theory to make a little sense. It is only logical that the people of Nazca would want the lines to point to water. After all, as we just noted, this flying alien was a fish!

Wikipedia and many other sources are openly claiming that the sky god of Tiwanaku was Viracocha, an important figure in Inca mythology. This claim surely derives from ignorant archaeologists who have combined all the Andean peoples into a single group, archaeologists who are too obstinate to notice that the Andean region had diverse peoples, each with their own culture, language, and mythology. According to an excellent history of the Andes, renamed Viracocha and the Coming of the Incas by a modern publisher, Viracocha predates the fish of the seventh century.
