The mysterious strip of holes in Peru

It is very likely that you have heard or seen documentaries about the Nazca Lines, in Peru, those gigantic geometric and animal figures that for decades have intrigued archaeologists, historians and even ufologists.Also it is likely that at the same time you do not know the mystery that lies, neighbor of these figures, and that for almost a century has challenged all the researchers who have tried to explain the mysterious strip of holes in Peru.

The mysterious strip of holes in Peru

This mysterious strip of holes is located on the Nazca Plateau, in the Pisco Valley, and was first documented in 1933, when it was spotted from a plane by Robert Shippee, who took a photograph that was subsequently published in National Geographic .Since then there have been several visits and attempts to explain the existence of these 6,900 holes , which extend from the edge of a valley to the beginning of a hill, 1.5 kilometers away.The holes were excavated in stone at depths ranging from 50 cm to 2 meters, and are arranged in bands with distances ranging between 14 and 21 meters.

The mysterious strip of holes in Peru

The area was studied in 1953 by Victor Wolfgang von Hagen, who in his book The Royal Inca Trail affirmed that the holes were pre-Inca tombs ; However, later studies have not obtained remains of mummies or human corpses that support this theory.Hagen believes that when the Incas built the road they ran into the holes, that is, they were from a previous civilization, such as the one that the famous Nazca Lines.

Other studies were conducted in the 1970s (Dwight Wallace and Frederic Engel) and in the 1980s (John Hyslop).The latter, in his book State road (1984) believes that the holes were product storage sites , similar to other existing ones in two other archeological sites on the southern coast of Peru: Quebrada de la Vaca and Tambo Colorado.

Recent studies-there was a UCLA expedition in 2015-suggest that they would be deposits made in times of the Incas with the aim of quantifying the production destined by the local inhabitants to the empire , and from there the proximity d and the strip of holes with the royal path of the Incas, but more exhaustive studies are needed to detect traces of the products that were stored in them.

Nothing is further from fiction than these consumers of human blood with normal families, normal daytime jobs and customs, and a denture equal to that of any of us .In fact, people contacted by Browning have no greater interest in vampirism, Dracula and its...
