I've entered a general site listing for the Nazca Lines
http://www.megalithic.info/article.php?sid=16337
in order to post a news story.
I also entered two other listings for figures that can currently be seen on google maps satellite views:

Take a look. If you can find the other figures, particularly of animals, please feel free to post them to the portal.

Well apart from the shadows of aeroplanes, how are we supposed to recognise animals when all the lines are straight?
Deveruex cites them as "roads to nowhere" but there is a theory that they were in fact lines associated with old aqueducts, and that they "rayed" to particular spots - source of water? dont know..... ritual walking paths or just a conundrum..
Take a look. If you can find the other figures, particularly of animals, please feel free to post them to the portal.

(Both an airplane and it's shadow can be seen.)
The non-geometric figures are extremely difficult to see in a satellite photo. About the only one I've been able to make out is a weird figure that looks like two hands sticking out of a "blob".
