CinemaNow - Digging for the Truth - Season 01 - Episode 06 - Secrets of the Nasca Lines

Etched into the driest desert in the world, the mysterious lines and figures of Nazca in Southern Peru are invisible from the ground. In fact, these huge drawings were not discovered until the 1930's...and only then by the commercial airline pilots who happened to over-fly them. Ever since, they have intrigued the world. Who built them...and why? Were they an ancient chart of the heavens...or a message to the Gods? Digging for the Truth's Josh Bernstein takes on the secrets of the Nazca Lines flying micro-lites and powered para-gliders, clambering through thousand-year old irrigation tunnels, even recreating rituals with contemporary Native Americans. His adventures take him deep into the mystery of the Nazca Lines and far from the deserts of Peru...for Josh discovers the lines of Nazca are not the only etchings in the Americas...others can be found right here in the USA.
