ALEX Q When the author says "a surprising discovery" he means...

something from 2000 years ago and now their trying to figure out what they where thinking about doing 2000 years ago, or what they where doing 200 years ago

I think he labeled it surprising discovery because this art was supposedly made 2000 years ago so this discovery is amazing because its giving us clues to what humans did back then or reasons on why they did it

I can infer the by "a surprising discovery" the author means that they are supposed to find something 2000 years old. They are also surprised that they did not find This in so many years. They are also wondering why they made this drawing.

I can infer that the author means that he thought that this discovery was very interesting because this was 2000 years ago and now they were trying to figure out what they were thinking or saying.

I can infer that the nazca made the art because on page 7 its tells me that info. also on page 5 it says 'the Nazca made pottery and the drawings on the pottery looked very similar to the giant drawings In the sand" we still don't know yet how they drew it considering it is about 150 feet.

174851_3 — 2024-09-16 14:43:33 UTC

The archeologosts found pottery and cloths with the same designs as the drawing which made them think that the drawing is made by ancient people called the Nazca, who where farmers who were farmer that lived near the river valley. Text evidence to support this is "When the archeologists dug up the pottery and cloth, they were surprised to find that these objects had the same designs that were on the lines."

2024-09-16 14:43:36 UTC

One thing I can infer is that maybe the Nazca (a group of people who live 2000 years ago) did these drawings for these drawings for some type of purpose. Text evidence to support this is that on page 7, it states "Why did the Nazca make these lines in the first place".

16034319 — 2024-09-16 14:43:37 UTC

Ii can infer that the Nazca made the art on the lines. I know this because in page 6 it says...

"their pictures showed the animals around them- lizards, birds, dogs, Llamas, and other animals sometimes pictures showed frightening-looking gods with sharp teeth and claws these gods where often half human, and half dog, cat, or fish.

this shows what they drew to represent there religion or what they where thinking about 2,000 years ago.

911911911911911911911 — 2024-09-18 14:30:35 UTC

The central idea for "Ancient Art Show?" is (the Nazca lines look like an ancient art show but not visible from the ground Which puzzles archaeologists)

174851_3 — 2024-09-18 14:31:30 UTC

The central idea of the "Ancient art show" is Nazca lines seem like a giant ancient art show but it is only visible from the sky.

16034319 — 2024-09-18 14:31:47 UTC

the nazca art lines seem like a Big art show but can't be seen from the ground.

2024-09-18 14:31:52 UTC

Central Idea: The Nazca lines can seem like a giant art shoe but cannot be visible from the ground.

174851_3 — 2024-09-19 14:36:51 UTC

Maria Reiche belived that the lines where a giant calendar because it could have helped the farmers figure out where the sun would set. Not everyone belived in her theory.

911911911911911911911 — 2024-09-19 14:37:44 UTC

the story was about how the scientist brought up the idea of it being a calendar just to point it out because it may be something that could or could not be right.

2024-09-19 14:40:25 UTC

A scientist named Maria Reiche believed that the lines were a giant calendar. This was because a calendar would tell the farmers when to plant, harvest, and water their crops. But many others believed that there are many different reasons for the lines.

16034319 — 2024-09-19 14:43:19 UTC

the story was about how a scientist nelieved that the lines where a giant calinder to help farmers when the sun would set. no one agreed in her theory (some people did).

911911911911911911911 — 2024-09-23 14:33:14 UTC

the text features that really helped me are the photo graphs and descriptions. they really helped me understand the visuals and the amount of size the Nazca lines are. without this I could not really understand fully what they look like. because if there was no photo graphs or descriptions I would not have know that the Nazca lines had a being wearing a "helmet aliens would wear"

16034319 — 2024-09-23 14:37:49 UTC

the text feature that helped me understand his theory was that there were aliens and what he believed in. many people thought he was talking nonsense. This helps me by understanding what it might or been bach then. it helps me visualize mabey what the lines meant.

174851_3 — 2024-09-23 14:38:03 UTC

A text feature that helped locate information about the Nazca Lines is the photograph on page 15, It helps me understand it better because I can visualize how the Nazca lines look like and how the aliens could have told them how to make it, because they could have made something really big if they can't see it.

2024-09-23 14:40:06 UTC

The text features helped me because the description and photo graphs helped understand how big the Nazca lines were what some people thought of the Nazca lines. Like about how some people thought the Nazca lines looked like a "round head is a helmet that a space traveler would wear."

911911911911911911911 — 2024-09-26 14:33:50 UTC

It means that the gods that are in the sky can view the lines from above (which may be the reason the lines are that big)and it might have been a signal to give the Nazca water possibly because they are out of the resource.

174851_3 — 2024-09-26 14:37:11 UTC

I think by ¨these lines were meant to remind the gods to hurry up and fill the with water.¨ the author means that since the Nazca people belived that gods lived in the mountains they made the Nazca lines so the gods could see it and give them water.

16034319 — 2024-09-26 14:37:15 UTC

I think they said this because the rivers would dry up and they need water so they might of drew those because they thought there where Gods in the mountens so the went to the montens and prayed for water. I think if the gods didn't answer they would draw, for god to see it so they provide them with water.

2024-09-26 14:39:10 UTC

This means that, since the Nazca people believed that their gods lived in the mountains and when their gods looked down at the ground, it would be a signal that they needed water to flow down in their valleys.

911911911911911911911 — 2024-09-30 14:35:02 UTC

I can conclude that the lines were made by using the only technology they had but still managed to make amazing art.

2024-09-30 14:37:08 UTC

After reading pages 19 - 21, I learned that they only used the type of technology they have, which were sticks, poles, and ropes but they managed to make such amazing and historical art.

174851_3 — 2024-09-30 14:37:47 UTC

A conclusion i can draw about text is that since the Nazca lines where very big they could not have just guess and make it. They could have used many different strategies to make the Nazca Lines.
