The Famous Nazca Lines Aren't Mysterious -- But They Are Ingenious - Popular Science

Not sure Sara Kiley Watson has completely proven her headline, but she does offer a plausible "theory" for how the remarkable Peruvian mega-artworks were created. A similar kind of construction is the center of religious controversy as a Feud Erupts at Ohio's Mysterious Great Serpent Mound. Paul Seaburn sketches the dispute, and in our opinion his commentary should be taken to heart. Paul has a 2020 retrospective and a wish for the New Year; Owen Jarus takes a swing at What Archaeology Will Look Like in 2021. Very interesting, but if recent archaeological finds in the field and the laboratory are any indication, look for more unpredictable earth-shaking claims in 2021. Additional reviews of positive aspects to the late and unlamented year are available from Jarus' own The 10 Biggest Archaeology Discoveries of 2020; Archaeology magazine's Top 10 Discoveries of 2020; Heritage Daily's Top 10 Archaeological Discoveries of 2020; and Smithsonian Magazine's Ten New Things We Learned About Human Origins in 2020.
