Nazca
Lines in the Stones
Runways, Spacemen, Lizards,
Thunderbirds, Monkeys and Tarantulas - all corresponding to important constellations. The Nazca Plateau is one of the most isolated places on Earth.
Situated high in the mountains of Peru, airplanes are the best way in ~ and the lines were only discovered by chance flyovers in the 20th century. Visible only from the air, they would have been impossible to create without elevation,
Recently, a vast and intricite system of underwater canals was discovered underneath the plateau

Cargo Cults
In the South Pacific (particularly the Soloman Islands, northeast of Australia)
exists a string of cultures so cut off from the rest of humanity,
that the first appearance of airplanes in the 20th century
spawned the emergence of what is known as Cargo Cults
- groups of indigenous people
who have actually devised a religion
built around the occasional appearance of artificial flying machines
and the people who pilot them, and the various exotic goods they bring to trade.
This is apparently what one can expect when primitive societies suddenly encounter relatively awesome and previously unheardof technology - especially involving people, and especially when involving the sky. Indeed, even in our modern world, there are small scattered groups of misguided people, eager to worship alien beings from above as "space brothers" - some of the more famous: involving suicide pacts, which are timed to the periodic passing of comets. |
