![]() ![]() ![]() The second segment looks at various large humanoid geoglyphs whose stylized features look vaguely like aliens, as imagined in midcentury science fiction. Presumably they have space-age tools and not stone ones to carve with. Frankly, I’d have expected better from space aliens. The narrator, though, suggests that space alien giants carved them. ![]() They are a fantastic example of Paleoindian art, but there is nothing in them that suggests extraterrestrials. The Paiute legend is that the carvings were made by giants, but that’s really just a way of saying they were really old. A complex geoglyph from Nazca somewhat similar in shape to a Tibetan mandala is referenced, and it was first seen on In Search of Aliens many years ago and recycled several times afterward on the Ancient Aliens mothership.Ĭarvings from Lake Winnemucca that have appeared on the show before are recycled here again. The symbolism is the important part, not the appreciation of it from afar.Īncient Aliens next relates geoglyphs to petroglyphs, suggesting that the same symbols appear on the ground and on rocks for some unstated reason that is implied to be aliens. Geoglyphs can be seen from the air, but they likely had more earthbound purposes, much like the way Christian churches have cruciform shape even though it is not easy to see from within. They can be, but that isn’t really the point. That’s a bit like suggesting that a football gridiron is meant to be seen by blimps.
