As long as they weren't created by aliens. That'd suck all the fun out of them.

People with way to much time on their hands.

...

Or aliens. Yeah, thats just as reasonable an answer.

While it would probably be easier for aliens who can travel over huge distances to do something like that (see: Crop Circles), I'm curious about why they would (I know crop circles sometimes seem to be coded messages, like that one which was based on the Pioneer Space Probe plaque*) but I don't know what the Nazca lines would represent.



*I'll try to find this one because it looks really interresting.


EDIT: it's the first crop "circle" on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KoR2t-iM9k . I apparenttly made a mistake about how it was sent as well.

ummmm they know who created them, it's not some big mystery except to douchebags that ignore facts and want to give it some oddly mysterious meaning and most likely think 2012 is the end of the world

Well it's most likely to be of religious significance to the Nazca people or served as some form of celestial tracking system for irrigation or seasonal planning. Who knows really?

It's probably to do with worshiping gods. Wasn't everything back then?

This was on a TV documentary years back.

Some are outlines of animals, and loads of animals crop up in prehistoric art. Plenty of them are lines - it's thought the lines point at the water sources the locals relied on, or something like that. The other theory is some sort of celestial markings, much like many aspects of prehistoric European stone circles seem to "point" at various things in the sky.

At any rate it's all basically prehistoric religion.
