The idea to compare the nazca lines to star constellations is not exactly new. In fact I think it is one of the oldest ideas, and quite a few astronomers have looked into it. It doesn't work. You have to be very selective to make them match anything.
End even if it turned out to be correct, not sure why ET would need to get involved.

I tend to think that the Nazca people just liked to take ayahuasca, dance and chant, and make these markings in the dirt. People love to get high and dance around. They don't need any extraterrestrials to motivate them.

Much as in the contemporary Moche culture based in northwest Peru, shamans apparently used hallucinogenic drugs, such as extractions from the San Pedro cactus, to induce visions. The use of such substances is also depicted in art found on pottery related to the Nazca (Silverman and Proulx, 2002). Religious events and ceremonies took place in Cahuachi. The people worshiped the nature gods to aid in the growth of agriculture.

I think every theory is valid at this point to explain the nazca lines whatever is Human or ET or shamans or Gods.

Not being contentious - but - in declaring "Its a fact that they were made by humans." - would you mind referencing the proof of said claim?
I have not been convinced, yet, by anyone's argument/s that the lines "were made by humans".
Thanks in advance.

I think is pretty obvious. No theory about aliens ever considered they being less evolved than humans. So, it is safe to assume that drawings so raw and ugly were made by less evolved part on this equation, right?

Thx! Yes that is exactly what I was trying to say. There are around 5200 airports with paved runway in the U.S. and you just google a flight map and check how similar it is to the Nazca lines.
