[Aztlan] Nazca lines for prayer walking?

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

Two researchers, publishing in New Scientist, have theorized that the  
Nazca lines may have been made for prayer walking. They measured  
anomalies in the Earth's magnetic field caused by changes in soil  
density at various depths. Some lines produced stronger magnetic  
anomalies perhaps because the soil beneath was compacted by people  
walking back and forth during prayer rituals. Ceramic vessels were  
placed along the lines, perhaps as offerings.
