Cone Headed Paracas And The Palpa Lines And Geoglyphs
Though not as famous as the Nazca Lines and geoglyphs, those at nearby Palpa are as intriguing. Made by the Paracas culture possibly as much as 1000 years before Nazca Lines, there are more than 1600 Palpa Lines and geoglyphs.

The Paracas culture was an Andean society between approximately 800 BCE and 100 BCE, with an extensive knowledge of irrigation and water management. It developed in the Paracas Peninsula, located in what today is the Paracas District of the Pisco Province in the Ica Region of Peru. Most information about the lives of the Paracas people comes from excavations at the large seaside Paracas site, first investigated by the Peruvian archaeologist Julio Tello in the 1920s. Author David Hatcher Childress has made controversial claims about Paracas, including the suggestion that elongated human skulls found there are extraterrestrial in nature.

Researcher and archaeologist, Brien Foerster explores the mysterious Palpa Lines in the accompanying video. The series of ancient geoglyphs are located in the Palpa Valley in southern Peru. There hundreds of individual figures are seen in a range of styles from simple lines to human and animal forms.

Although some local geoglyphs resemble Nazca motifs, some scholars like Foerster, believe the Lines were created by the Paracas, an earlier and more advanced culture.
The Palpa lines have not been completely mapped and possibly precede in time the Nazca lines by centuries.

The first and initial results of DNA testing of Elongated Human Skulls of Paracas Peru have finally come in, and suggest that these people, who died out 2000 years ago had genetic attributes, to some degree, not found in Homo Sapiens, Neanderthal, or Denisovans. Much more work has to be done to replicate these initial results, but they are intriguing.
