About Those Nasca Lines...

remember when I wrote months ago about how much I enjoyed the latest Indiana Jones adventure because it touched upon real-life things like the Nasca lines in Peru? well, the latest issue of "Archaeology" revealed some interesting new discoveries about them thanks to German archaeologist Markus Reindel and Peruvian archaeologist Johnny Isla. According to their research using the latest 21st century technology and careful empirical analysis, they have suggested that the lines were that the Nascans and their predecessors, the Paracas may have drawn geoglyphs for rain ceremonies. Fascinating! Imagine these ancient people performing a ritual while treading on these lines to summon rain to water their lands! Since I am an avid Indy fan, It has led me to read about the latest discoveries and research projects in archaeology today. A singer-songwriter should always have interests outside of music!:) Oh and check out www.archaeology.org which is the official site for the mag! Till next time and I will tell you about my future plan to do some new recording in the Emerald Isle! BKT
