The Largest Ancient Man Made Canal System on Earth

[Photo wide area of "petroglyphs", etc.]

And Pisco Valley, Peru. More "natural erosion". Length: approximately 1,450m; Width: approximately 20m; Number of holes estimate: 6,900

IMO, too many anomalies are written off as "natural" and I think part of it is due to people advancing theories that have gained even slight acceptance. They in turn become solidified as Holy Writ and all efforts are directed to defending that theory, to the point of ruining peoples' careers. Then the major protagonist dies and those who no longer have to fear of being ostracized as heretics, come up with an alternative, and usually a better interpretation.

Some wag, familiar with that dark side of science, opined that science progresses from funeral to funeral.

I think he's on to something.

...any hint of when they think the system was either created or last in use???

The blogger mentions a book, maybe he provides more information, I do not know. It all seems to be a rather recent Google Earth find, like Vernuekpan.

Earth May Have Created Its On Water Deep Within and There's Still Enough There To Fill the Pacific

It doesn’t appear that the “researcher” has ever been to the site. It looks like the entirety of his research was done on google earth. I see he complains about geologists so he apparently asked one but didn’t like the answers he got.

I would want many dozens if not hundreds of core samples from the tops of the ridges to the bottoms of the valleys all across the region.

The guy makes global warming science look downright professional.

What I do not understand is the pressing need for an explanation, the ‘thing’ is there and nothing changes the object regardless how mundane or fantastic the theory. We are looking at the results of some so far inexplicable phenomena which have been there for possibly thousands of years. If they remain a mystery for another century, so what?

Google Earth is showing us how much we have not been able to see before.

Lots of terraces, very few are salt:

I had heard that one of the problems with irrigation canals is that salt can accumulate over time, so I thought maybe the same problem could occur with terraces. If that were the case then maybe that would explain the huge numbers of terraces all over the place in south America - they were forced to abandoned ones that had become unusable and build new ones.

Pretty wild. I’m surprised this formation isn’t more well known.

After further research I am wondering if those lines are this

I get mad at my brother who buys into ancient aliens and similar crap. They put together this seemingly cogent line of thinking with seemingly infallible facts. The problem is they often either outright lie or stress the facts. Lime Pumapunku. They state its 12000 years old and could only be carved with a laser. Its actually 1200 years old and made out of red limestone, which doesnt even need metal to carve.

‘The guy’ is showing you what he sees on Google Earth, just as someone else showed what he saw in the Vernuekpan dry lake; he makes some assumptions which you can ignore, just like you can ignore the supposed purpose of the numerous canal systems throughout South America and Mexico. However, who created them and for what purpose remains open...

[cripplecreek]

Puma Punku is a pretty astounding site. I’d love to know how the locals did it but they’re gone now.

From that view it would appear that the Okavango Delta is the drainage point from the suspected canal system. Just spitballing but perhaps the system collapsed when the lower end, the Okavango, catastrophically gave way and drained the “farm.”

... I’m surprised this formation isn’t more well known.

Have you heard of Vernuekpan before? It's far more complex and was only discovered recently.

no sign of salt anywhere...

Just glancing at the title I guessed the Hohokam indians of Arizona, but I guessed wrong.

The Makgadikgadi Pan, a salt pan situated in the middle of the dry savanna of north-eastern Botswana, is one of the largest salt flats in the world. The pan is all that remains of the formerly enormous Lake Makgadikgadi, which once covered an area larger than Switzerland, but dried up several thousand years ago.

Talk to the author, he’s supplied his email address and now here’s the link to his website. I’m simply showing you photographs.

... entirely possible!

I love it, if it was you are right... the rest of the evidence would be there. The parked equipment used to do the trenching, the maintenance equipment, the sheds, the pumps/valves control systems, the source of the water, the harvesting / processing/storing facilities. The residences, the social infrastructure..... government structures, libraries, museums,..... streets/ streetlights....etc etc.

All those things would be visible.

In the absence, it’s all horseshit.
