"The Great Nazca Lines"...Are They A Deadly Message?

How can we communicate the dangers of nuclear waste to future

It’s an ongoing concern of our modern society that we find a method to power our world without poisoning it. Nearly every time you listen to the radio or turn on the news you will invariably hear the same mantra being repeated ad nauseam, “GO GREEN”, “ALTERNATIVE POWER” and ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION”.

Often time’s people get sick and tired of hearing these terms and put the issue on the back burner, I know I do. Many understand and consider that their children may be forced to deal with the problems, but perhaps not in any way that is any more removed from what we currently suffer.
It is true that several generations from now, if we are still kicking as a species there is no reasons to believe that our children’s, children will NOT also be turning the world into a waste receptacle for ever more capitalistic endeavors; people after all, are all the same and we seem to be immune to time.

But you rarely hear about the people in the remote future. Why would you, after all the remote future is remote for a reason. Five hundred, a thousand, maybe ten thousand, does anyone think that far ahead? Perhaps no enough people do and this may be a problem for the human species in millennia to come, when communicating potential danger becomes a top priority. It has often been equated to being “A message in a bottle”, that being the effective communication between the people of our present time and people in the distant future.

Perhaps it is easy for the average person, to assume that as time goes by we get more technologically advanced, and to some degree this is true; however as we become more advanced, it becomes increasingly easy to inadvertently nudge the hands of a “doomsday clock” forward a little further toward our demise.

There is no certainty in our future other than we will either make progress or fall flat on our faces. That being said, what if the humans of the future are less advanced than us, or of equal technological capability? The question then becomes how we communicate danger in a way that is vividly understandable.

Consider the following examples:






Each one of these examples shown is something that affects humans on an instinctual level. That doesn’t mean that you necessarily shudder at the site of it, but you realize what hey represent.
Skull and Bones = Death, or poison.
Snake = Venomous or danger.
Spider = Again venom Danger avoid.

But the problem is that while they may mean something instinctually they are used here, only culturally. What this means is that for the past few hundred years we have used such things to denote everything from poison and danger, to victory and celebration of the dead, but Ill come back to this shortly.

Now that I have made that point let me make my next one; according to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, nuclear waste disposal is going well (My emphasis),…Note the following.

About 160,000 spent fuel assemblies, containing 45,000 tons
of spent fuel from nuclear power plants, are currently in stor-
age in the United States. Of these, about 156,500 assem-
blies are stored at nuclear power plants, and approximately
3,500 assemblies are stored at away-from-reactor storage
facilities, such as the General Electric plant at Morris, Illi-
nois. The vast majority of the assemblies are stored in water
pools, and less than 5% are stored in dry casks.

About 7,800 used fuel assemblies are taken out of reactors
each year and are stored until a disposal facility becomes
available.

If all the 160,000 spent fuel assemblies currently in storage
were assembled in one place, they would only cover a foot-
ball field about 5 1/2 yards high.

Notice how they say ONLY 51/2 yards high. True that may not be that much by quantity but considering that these elements have a half life in the ranges of 6,800 to 27,000 years perhaps quantity isn’t the issue, but rather the waste in general.

As of right now there appears to be plenty of space to throw our trash, but when the times comes…And it will come… that we need to move on to something healthier, and or run out of space what are we going to do? Well we will burry it of course and move on to our next task.

So this of course brings us round again to the future of humanity and their daily life.
It is arrogant to assume that any clear record will be left of us in centuries to come, as even right now the world is rattling sabers for wars that may or may not happen, but if they do will undoubtedly engulf the world yet again. With that in mind what if the coming remote generations know as little of us as or less than we currently know of other ancient civilizations?

Please consider that, the following is nothing more than my take on what might possibly be (but probably isn’t) the meaning of the Nazca lines in Peru.

First let’s examine the consensus theory on why they were created.

One theory is that the Nazca people created them to be seen by their gods in the sky. Kosok and Reiche advanced a purpose related to astronomy and cosmology: the lines were intended to act as a kind of observatory, to point to the places on the distant horizon where the sun and other celestial bodies rose or set. Many prehistoric indigenous cultures in the Americas and elsewhere constructed earthworks that combined such astronomical sighting with their religious cosmology, as did the later Mississippian culture at Cahokia in present-day United States. Another example is Stonehenge in England. But, Gerald Hawkins and Anthony Aveni, experts in archaeoastronomy, concluded in 1990 that there was insufficient evidence to support such an astronomical explanation.

There are Alternative theories as well.

Some individuals propose alternative theories. Jim Woodmann believes that the Nazca Lines could not have been made without some form of manned flight to see the figures properly. Based on his study of available technology, he suggests that a hot air balloon was the only possible means of flight. To test this hypothesis, Woodmann made a hot-air balloon using materials and techniques which he understood were available to the Nazca people. The balloon flew, after a fashion. Most scholars have rejected Woodmann's thesis,[4] because of the lack of any evidence of such balloons.[7]
Swiss author Erich von Däniken suggests the Nazca lines and other complex constructions represent higher technological knowledge than he believes existed when the glyphs were created. Von Däniken maintains that the Nazca lines in Peru are runways of an ancient airfield that was used by extraterrestrials mistaken by the natives to be their gods.
Maria Reiche's protege Phillis Pitluga, an astronomer at the Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum, believes, based on computer aided studies of star alignments, that the giant spider figure is an anamorphic diagram of the constellation Orion. She further suggests that three of the straight lines leading to the figure were used to track the changing declinations of the three stars of Orion's Belt but does not take into account the other twelve lines. Aveni has commented on her work, saying

Each on of these Nazca Geoglyphs represents what we currently know and understand to be an insect, a snake, and even in one case an astronaut, others of course are a monkey, what looks like a ray gun, and a few other discombobulated figures.

But take a good look at them again and imagine if you will that instead of the theories mentioned above by the examiners of such finds they may actually be telling us something else.
Each one has what appears to be an indicator attached to it which then leads into the actual glyph itself. What we could most closely relate to an arrow pointing. As if it were saying…”Starting here.”, it then moves on into the form of a creature.



Now notice each creature and allow yourself to consider the possibility that they are not what they are said to be, but rather an example of what can happen if one were inclined to disturb the area. The Spider then could be translated in the following manner…”Starting here, there is danger, poison.” The others can be interpreted the same way as well, but where an insect was used it is replaced with what looks like a deformed bird. Could this denote “Birth defects”? And what about the alleged astronaut, what could that possibly imply?



How about this?





The deformed dog like figure?


Possibly?



The weapon looking thing if that is indeed a weapon which I doubt, but would that not mean possibly weaponized, or dangerous, or any other type of term we may understand?
I’m not saying that the Nazca people themselves were involved in anything advanced, but Maybe…just maybe a civilization that predated them did. Moreover with all the mystery surrounding the Nazca lines and possible Alien landing areas, suppose that it is a waste product that was buried an extraterrestrial species.
I would like to say it doesn’t have to be radioactive just to be dangerous, but chemical or biological or…Other.. I find it interesting that such symbolism is found in the deep desert not unlike the present where it is being debated on to place radioactive waste in the Yucca desert in Nevada. Deserts make a good place to store waste.

Whatever the case a culture has to make themselves loud and clear when it involves protection from dangerous materials. The things we understand today to mean danger, like the three major symbols of radiation, chemical and biological hazards will probably mean nothing to people hundreds or thousands of years hence. Likewise neither will any particular language so to speak. We need a clear and definite indicator for danger, something that will be vivid enough to insight threat but not so much as to encourage curiosity or wonder. Had the pyramids or Stonehenge been such places we would no doubt have walked into a death trap. But we still don’t know what’s out there and it could be dangerous. Conversely the people of the future are in the same boat.
The following link is an in depth idea that involves communication with future generations and how we can prevent danger from spreading. In my opinion, it will not work; rather it will only encourage people to fully explore such places.
