New Nazca Alien Glyphs Discovered

Scientists using satellite images of the Nazca region have discovered new previously unseen Glyphs using AI to spot lines too faint to be easily recognised by the Human eye , there's some funky looking creatures among the lines along with a few possible ETs and even a "killer whale holding a knife."... must have been some good Peyote man.

In the new study, published Monday (Sept. 23) in the journal PNAS, researchers used an AI model, which has been trained to spot the faint outlines of the geoglyphs, to search for missed shapes in satellite images of the Nazca Desert.

The model, which can pick out the lines 20 times quicker than humans, generated a list of Nazca Line candidates for the researchers to investigate, including ones in places where the famous lines had never been spotted before. Between September 2022 and February 2023, researchers visited some of these sites and were able to confirm that 303 of them were actual geoglyphs.

The new lines included abstract humanoids, "decapitated heads," domesticated animals, fish, birds, cats, a potential "ceremonial scene" and human/animal interactions, researchers wrote in the paper. The most bizarre shape was arguably a 72-foot-long (22 meters) "killer whale holding a knife."

Some of those are pretty cool

Some of those remind me of coronavirus.

Where they trying to warn us of government overreach, even back then?

Now a research team needs to go see if these indeed to exist or is the AI just making things up.

Interesting tho, looks like like a lot of them are depictions of people wearing masks and costumes.

I was going to say that aren't all the known Nazca figures of animals because some these appear to depict human like figures?
Will this require a new re-evaluation of the whole Nazca site including their construction and purpose?

They did and they do

There is a precedent for Humanoid figures , or Aliens perhaps.

My favorites are Napoleon Bonaparte and the Statue of Liberty

so we stand a chance of being invaded by Echo and the Bunnymen? I can live with that.

Pretty cool 👍

Some of them look like giraffes. But they never existed in south America.

So those were created using generativeAI and not actual photos/imagery?

I don't get why they think that one is an Orca with a knife? It doesn't look like the actual "whale" line drawing.

I'm still fascinated by how these were made so fairly accurately, so large and why? Not like some other traveler, looking for water (one of the theories) at ground level could see the thing. Only the ones on the hillsides.

Sucks that we will more than likely never know the truth. That had to have been a lot of hard work making them.

They do, but I would guess with the shorter legs, probably Llama?

a reply to: Raptured

The thought comes that the new extras were caused to be generated because some of the original ones reveal too much if approached with the right mind set.

I find that easy to say because few "proper" scientists will allow the existence of UFOs/aliens being here, especially hundreds if not thousands of years ago. And archeological scientists are the worst on that score. Well, they have been unless they have been cued to start breaking the ice about early, alien assisted civilizations.

Sorry, those are fake the one with the baby carriage is hilarious .

Probably a Vicuna. Native to the altiplano region of the Andes.

These are pretty adorable. A lot look like robots or silly alien creatures. I like the one in the second column, second row the best. He looks silly AND friendly. I wonder what's on his arm? Tentacle? I dont know what they are but they're sticking out from his head like he stuck a fork in a light socket hehehehehehe. Thanks for sharing this!

Oh yeah, that's probably a better bet.

Of course. But depends how badly egos, politics, and powers-that-be get involved. (Think Giza.)

Probably will get a "It is established fact that these are cartoons made by children, and NO further research is necessary or permitted." etc.

So the AI weapons platform satalite did let Edward draw there. I thought Cowboy Bebop was in the future.

Seriously, looks like a cargo cult or possibly a furry convention was there at one time.
