What sort of animals do the Nazca lines show?Solving the World Mysteries with Science:The Nazca Lines of PeruThe Nazca Lines in Peru are hugepictures that were drawn intothe ground by digging shallowlines into the earth. The lines takeaway the red stone which covers thesurface leaving the white rock belowexposed. An area of 190 square milesin the Nazca desert in Southern Peruis covered by these simple pictures,which include birds, spiders, fish andsharks. Some of these pictures arenearly 200 metres wide.What’s so mysterious about theselines? Well, although they date backto between 400 and 650 AD, theywere only discovered in the 1930s.The reason for this is that the picturesonly become clear when they areseen from the air. So it was onlywhen aeroplanes started flying overthe area that people realised whatthey were. Of course, this led to thequestion: how did these picturesget there all those years ago? Howcould these people have made suchdrawings without the ability to fly? Ordid they have the ability to fly? AuthorJim Woodman suggested that theNazca people could have inventedsimple hot-air balloons and used themto produce the art. He even built aworking balloon using materials theywould have had. Not many peoplewere convinced by his ideas though.Other people suggested the linesmight be extraterrestrial, that theywere the work of aliens visiting ourEarth. More and more theories wereoffered and one of the great modernmysteries was born.However, when some wooden stickswere found in the ground in the areaand carbon-dated, it showed thatthey were from the same age as thedrawings. Some scientists suggestedthat the Nazca people might haveput these sticks in the ground to helpthem with the drawings. By placingthe sticks in the correct positions andconnecting them with long ropes,the Nazca people could have usedthem to draw the lines to make thepictures. One scientist, Dr. Joe Nickellof the University of Kentucky was sosure that this was the answer that hedecided to try and show how it couldbe done. Using only tools that theNazca might have had he set abouttrying to draw a huge picture of a birdon a piece of land. With a few friendsit took him a few hours to produce aperfect Nazca picture and show howthese pictures probably got there.3 Read the article again and answer the questions.1How were the lines drawn?5How does Joe Nickell believe the lines were made?2When and how were the pictures discovered?6What did he do to prove these ideas?3What is Jim Woodman’s theory?4What did he do to try and prove it?PronunciationMoving word stressGo to page 120.86 in this web service Cambridge University Presswww.cambridge.org

What does the writer think about the Bélmez faces? Tick a box.They were fake.They were real.What do you think?They were fake.They were real.[A] On the 23rd August 1971, María Gómez Cámara saw a human face appear on thekitchen floor of her home in the southern Spanish town of Bélmez. So she told her husbandand son, who, [B] broke up the kitchen floor and laid down another. However when asecond face appeared sometime after, word got out to the mayor of Bélmez. He ordered thatthe floor should be cut out and taken away for study.Ever since these initial sightings, there have been a number of reports of the suddenappearance and disappearances of human faces in the kitchen floor. [C] tourists have visitedLa Casa de las Caras (The House of the Faces) hoping to experience the phenomena forthemselves.Of course, several theories were put forward to try and explain what was going on. Oneidea was that María herself could have produced the faces through a process called‘thoughtography’, in which Maria was subconsciously projecting the pictures onto the floorfrom her mind.Other people looked for a more scientific explanation and a lot of testing was done onthe chemicals in the concrete. Studies showed that the images might have formed throughchemical reactions. This could have been a natural process or it could have been done deliberately.[D] I think the faces were made by Maria’s husband or son. [E] To make a lot of money perhaps.
