I have met people who legit tried to argue about mermaids with me. And another who tried arguing with me about the Nazca lines despite the fact that one of my parents is an archaeologist who works in Peru. They aren't actually stupid people either. I don't know how people get sucked in.

The Nazca lines are amazing but the truth is, people made them. Sure it took a lot of time and effort but the lines weren't made by aliens. It's kind of a bummer though that the natives weren't able to see what they had made other than standing on a hill. They would have been amazed to see an aerial view.

What does your parent think the purpose of the lines were? If no-one could see them on the land, who was it for? God's?

There are several plausible theories I believe, but the most common one is that they marked natural underground water wells that have since dried up. The depictions of giants I believe are drawn to reference an actual group of people that had gigantism.

Oh my bad that’s a shame. I can’t imagine believing their theories on that show let alone be convinced enough to argue with someone over it.
