In this solo journey, Rye the Codega guides you through the vast desert plains of southern Peru to unravel one of the greatest ancient enigmas of our time: the Nazca Lines. Etched into the earth centuries ago by a mysterious civilization, these massive geoglyphs — only visible from the sky — have inspired endless debate. Were they ritual pathways? Celestial calendars? Alien runways?
From the elegant hummingbird and the spiral-tailed monkey to the eerie figure known as the "Astronaut," this episode explores the geometry, mythology, and conspiracy surrounding these ancient artworks. We dig into both mainstream theories and alternative ideas, touching on figures like Maria Reiche, Erich von Däniken, and Johan Reinhard, while highlighting the modern tech uncovering new lines even today.
Whether you're a skeptic, a sky-watcher, or a seeker of the strange — this is your invitation to walk the lines, decode the symbols, and ponder the legacy written in dust and stone.
