Ancient Desert Glyphs Pointed Way To Fairgrounds
sciencehabit (1205606) writes "Seen from above, the jagged rocks strewn about the Chincha Valley desert in Peru seem inconspicuous. But stand in the desert itself and these rocks form lines that stretch toward the horizon. Researchers have found that these lines were probably ancient signposts for the Paracas culture more than 2000 years ago, guiding people across the desert to gathering places for the winter solstice."
...was the fossilized funnel cakes.
The Nazca Lines Alien Conspiracy fucktards will never buy into such a simple, logically formulated theory.

They had a freak show featuring the conehead family.
Seastead this.
I thought a glyph was like a nymph? If they pointed to that, a lot of folks would have showed up. That still may be true. Probably someone decided that was a bad idea. Then, boom, there went the neighborhood. Folks just stopped showing up.
Some things never really change.
Table-ized A.I.
Before the Paracan hipsters ruined it that is.
Why use that word in the title? As many people believe the winter solstice to be a religious festival calling the meeting point a fairground, even if the article explains it, is very weighted.
Everybody knows those glyphs were road maps for the aliens who created life here on Earth.
My girlfriend had a tatoo for pointing the fairgrounds.
Seen it, done it, been there.
You make it sound like the insurance companies are being forced to do something they don't like.
Imagine this was the cable companies. They'd be overjoyed if Obama forced people to buy subscriptions to a bunch of premium channels they don't want or need.
That's what I've done in the past. Unfortunately, given that I am forced to pay for crap I don't need, the least I can do is screw the system as much as possible. I still get back less than I paid, but at least I get back some. Believe me, keeping costs down in the health care system is not high on my agenda, and you're a fool if it's on yours.
There are also three large mounds in the desert that contain the remains of maize and sugarcane that definitely came from 400 to 100 B.C.E
Wikipedia on Funnel cakes:
Funnel cakes are made by pouring batter into hot cooking oil in a circular pattern and deep frying the overlapping mass until golden-brown. When made at concession stands, a pitcher with an integral funnel spout is employed. Funnel cakes are typically served plain with powdered sugar , or with jam, cinnamon, Nutella, fresh fruit, or other toppings.
What makes you assume that 'white trash' only eat funnel cakes? Also you make several derisive and racists statements. Hence you got a car because you obviously didn't read the article. Nor do you know how to make funnel cakes. surprise surprise, you can make funnel cakes with maize. All you need is hot oil which was also readily available during that time period. Next time you decide to have your mouth tell your fingers to write a check your body can't cash hit the little red x and STFU your ignorance. It's unwanted.
wtf does this have to with the Chincha Valley desert in Peru and funnel cakes? Nothing.
