I think #4 is a landing strip with a bird decoration!

The one at the top looks like an arrow pointing to north.

Neat.
Two parts of the picture, that appear to be horns, bear close resemblance to those that appear on earthenware dating from 100 B.C. to A.D. 600, during the time when the Nazca kingdom flourished, and it is thought that they relate to fertility rites
Why is it that all these finds seem to have something to do with fertility rites.

#15 is *definitely* a Bogen tripod with a Manfrotto ball head.
I'm a photographer.
I know these things.

I'm trying ot find this on
Google Maps. Here's the location of the famous
Nazca Lines. Do we have coordinates for the new "picture"?

What is it doing on terrain? Don't they usually put these on flat land?

These lines are interesting to me because of their scale. It would seem that mountainous terrain would pose a much greater difficulty than flat land. Those on flat land are the ones I'm vaguely familiar with.

Sometimes crop circles are done on terrain and you wonder how they do the layout. It has to involve more than scaled up drafting tools. The Nazca figures were done without being able to see them from above unless they had hot-air balloons, which is barely possible, but on flat land it could be done without much trouble even if nobody could see the results.
