^^^ agreed.. I believe the ancient people were very talented.. but that is simply a separate field all together.. like home economics or gardening.. I don't see what religion has to do with it short of simple common sense?.. for instance share of your garden, don't waste water, or be neighborly toward your neighbors when you have made a nice warm crusty apple pie....

you need to visit the museums of the world to just have a glimpse at the sheer genius of the 'primitive folks of old' I have always been entranced by the hanging gardens of semiramis ( modern day Iraq) though they no longer exist.. but what a great feat in engineering ... or the clock that marked the hours by dropping bronze balls into a bowl, as mechanical knights — one for each hour — emerged from little doors which shut behind them. . which was given by Harun al-Rashid (Aaron the Upright ) to Charlemagne

I always thought people back then were very imaginative and pioneers. now it seems everything is so readily available it sort of did away with people's imagination... we have gained some great things but lost a sense of wonder, surprise and ingenuity..

yes...i agree with you wholly...

besides..if we were to come up with something like the above, it would not be regarded as a presentation of imagination and beauty....

it would rather be compared to the contemporary art of today...ie, a bowl of lemons...an umbrella hanging upside down...a shoe with only half the laces weived thru...

imagination is really underestimated these days...i am a large fan of contemporary art...but...compared to harun ar-rashid...etc..its nothing...

Of course I do beleive in the theory, that Nazca Civilization created this and it shows me (as so often) that there is no God needed to perfom such huge sculptures.

no need for god to create sculptures?

we need wisdom to do that sculptures,then where did humanity take his wisdom? or who gave wisdom to human?

allah is needed even for breathing...if allah didnt gave the breathing system to us,what would happen then? do not forget men are wise but not enough to create even a wing of a fly,bee
 
Ok, if I accept the fact, it has been done by humans, the crucial question would be: Why would they create something like that? These sculptures can only bee seen out from space. When you stand on the ground, you cannot see anything.
So what was the aim of these people to do that? Pure boredom ?

I can understand the pyramids, I can understand the temples, chinese wall, as they have a purpose, but the nazca lines?
