Andean candelabra: description and photo

All the achievements of mankind in the history of its existence, from the invention of the wheel and gunpowder to the splitting of the atom, the search for the Divine particle and flights into space, fade alongside riddles, to which no bright minds of the planet can yet give an answer.

The Andean candelabrum, located in Peru, puts scientists in such an embarrassing situation of the secret of their origin that they can not even come up with tolerable versions of what it can be.

The Planet of the Planet

Giant icons and figures of more than 4 meters on the surface of the Earth - this geoglyphs, a kind of writing or cipher, which is seen most often from space or from an airplane. The most popular signs are the symbols of the Nazca desert, which were embossed on its surface in the 5-1 century BC. E.

There are scientists who tried to bring these lines, geometric figures, images of birds, animals and incomprehensible creatures at least for some scientific hypothesis.

Peru is not the only country where geoglyphs were found. For example, the most repeatable, and therefore beloved, plot of ancient peoples inhabiting the territory of modern Britain was a white horse. But, at least, this is a fully recognizable animal, which for people of that time was sacred or something personified.

The Andean candelabra was an example of the importance it was given depending on the thinking or creed of people who saw it. Thus, the Spaniards who conquered Peru, perceived it as the Holy Trinity, depicted in the form of three crosses, and to the sailors it resembled a constellation or an ancient lighthouse. However, the same happens with most geoglyphs on the planet. Not knowing the true purpose of an object or phenomenon, the human mind tries to squeeze it into the framework of its perception of the world.

The location of the mysterious object

For some reason, it so happened that many objects are written about objects in Peru, they are studied and even defended candidate dissertations. In fact, there are many geoglyphs on the planet, far exceeding the Peruvian ones both by age and by the number of images.

But apparently, interest is always higher to what one ponder long and ineffectively (for example, an unfinished chess game or an unproved theorem). The Andean candelabra is not an exception. Where this object is located, it is easy to determine - on the Paracas Peninsula, 6 hours drive from Lima. The small, crescent-shaped mountain rising here became the site of the creation of unknown ancient "graffiti artists". It can be seen either from the water or from a bird's eye view. If you analyze all the geoglyphs found on the planet, you can see that most of them have some similarities in the technique of execution.

For example, the "long man" in Sussex and the drawings in Peru are executed though in different epochs, but clearly descendants of the same talented artists suffering from gigantomania.

If this is so, then it seems that they either fulfilled someone's task - at a certain time to apply the necessary drawing, or were wandering creative natures, which is unlikely.

People often tend to attribute to objects and phenomena properties that they themselves come up with. For example, some of them believe that the Andean candelabra (Peru) points to Nazca's drawings, although this is not entirely true.

Description

Scientists date this object 200 BC. E., And if everyone agrees more or less with this fact, then his destiny remains a mystery. The giant trident, as its local population calls it, has two branches in the form of candles with spirals, while the third candle grows straight from its base.

The length of the object is about 180 m, which means that it took a very long time and some special tools to create it, otherwise it would not have survived so well to this day. The Andean chandelier, the description of which is proposed in this article, looks attractive though it is trivial. Little, or something, trident in the world, here Neptune was the same. Ordinary people and scientists are always more worried about the question not "how", but "why"?

Appointment

When this question is raised, the answers can be hundreds, we offer you the most intelligible, for example:

• This is a beacon, since it can be seen from the water, but can not be seen from the shore - of course, the version is so-so, because there is no evidence that it was lit by fires;
• The Andean chandelier is a navigator for a spaceship, indicating the direction to the cosmodrome in Nazca (there are simply no words, but suddenly it's true!);
• This lightning rod, since the trident is the symbol of the creator god Viracocha;
• It is a taboo sign, since on the peninsula there are pyramids and burials with mummies, which were usually buried with jewels;
• Another version that it is a navigator, but along it to the plateau of Nazca is found and not found the gold of the Incas or an entire acropolis full of dead men and treasures.

Maria Reiche, who has been studying Nazca's geoglyphs and Andean candelabra all her life (the photo of the scientist you can see below) has only managed to determine that some of the pictures coincide with the constellations, for example, the spider's paws and his head repeat Orion's arrangement.

There is a version that these drawings were left not by the civilization of people. Judging by the fact that humanity itself does not know, or what it was, for what was created, then perhaps such a conclusion is the most correct one. Perhaps, these images indicate the path that distant space travelers have traveled, and through what constellations they had to come to us. And the figures are clearly not people on the plateau in Nazca may well be self-portraits of aliens.

Whatever it was, maybe humanity still has a chance to reveal the cause of the appearance of geoglyphs, which are so clearly visible from space.

Geoglyphs of Nazca

The Andean chandelier and Nazca's drawings differ in technique, suggesting that there were at least 2 ancient cultures that created them. In the desert to date, found 30 drawings and 788 lines and geometric shapes.

The trident on the peninsula is presented in a single copy, and since a pottery workshop of the same time as the drawing was found nearby, it can be assumed that this is the creation of the hands of the inhabitants of ancient Paracas.

Nasca technique

Geoclyphs of Nazca are characterized by shallow trenches (30 cm) with a width of 50 to 150 cm, whereas in the candelabra they are deeper and wider. Some scholars believe that the Andean candelabra, whose history is somewhat younger than that of the figure on the plateau, is the successor of the more ancient brother.

It's amazing how the ancient Incas were able to conduct straight lines in the earth's crust with a length of 500 km²? Even modern equipment allows making an even trench no more than 10 km without deviations from the course. Many drawings amaze with their scale, and again the question arises involuntarily: how could you connect all the lines to make a 285-meter pelican or 188-meter lizard?

Either these artists had a special vision of three-dimensional space, or their tools were more advanced than modern ones.

The object of the Paracas Peninsula

The Andean chandelier, whose technique is simpler, is made in a different style, although it can be assumed that the performers were familiar with the drawings on the plateau in Nazca.

They did not need precise instruments, since the height of the object is only 180 m, but even it amazes imagination and makes you wonder what exactly it was put on the rock.

The mystery awaits

Well, humanity will have to wait. Either there will be those who know why this was done, or people will find instructions for use. We will wait and hope that either one or the other will happen during our lifetime, but for now scientists are creating new versions and making films about the secrets of the Earth and the Universe.
