Why, the idea has nothing but holes in it, there are no lines to hold......Am I the only one who wants to see Jiri's "lineholders" ??

That is all very nice, thank you, but the system of the monkey glyph at Nazca generates its x,y-axes, which then coincide with the cardinal directions. I must go with what's given.
Because framing parts of the monkey between these directions was so successful, it could be enormously interesting to apply that same principle to other things at Nazca, too. One never knows..

The figure is on one of the 1,500 La Marche tablets. If you look at my measurements of the frame, you'll get an idea of its size, just bear in mind that those measurements are double lifesize. So, the circuit is 61.3 mms long, so if it were a circle, its diameter would be about 20 cm
"even minor errors of measurement critical with relation to proportion"
Absolutely! That's why I worked on at least 2x lifesize copies. Working with lifesize would make such fine work impossible for me, and I dare presume the artist as well - yet, the fact is that the design is that fine a work.. How was the feat achieved? You know my opinion..
Scientific? Jiri?Issues with the above:
A) presume? How scientific is that everyone...
Well, yeah!B)your theory requires these measurments to have been put there on purpose, but you state that the piece could not have been accuratly measured by the artist? That is a circuler impossibility.
I think I covered that in my last post, which Jiri completely ignored.C) Why can't you be more precise, my girlfriend is working on a study comparing different mammalian nails, some are only a couple centimeters long or less, but she can accuratly measure them. Why can't you measure a 1:1 image accuratly enough? I certainly think this makes me question how you are measuring in general

I suggest posting your masterpiece to the whole internet! Just don't show it to your doctor.
The irony to you comment is interesting. That aside, though, Jiri, in what way(s) did Religionstudent improperly apply your analysis methods to his ancient artifact?

I would like to see them, too.
Again, and again? I think I lend them out to someone to support four of his Eight Cardinal Diractions.
You don't see it, and I grow reluctant to assist you and pry your eyes open, but the main difference in the impact of the two theories is that while I should worry about the men-in-black, he has to worry about the men-in-white![]()

wrong tense.
(I really am not just complaining here I have no idea what you mean, did you mean to say leant them out or maybe will lend them out. This makes no sence)
Also it still does not let us see them.
I think he is just being sarcastic to avoid providing any evidence of the claims.
To be fair, it was wrong tense, wrong gender, and a misspelling of Directions, but hey, I think most people would get the jist. Unlike the numerology stuff, which doesn't really go anywhere.

Not at all, not if you can enhance your vision, and tools. Given the right tools, I could measure in nanometers.. Couldn't you?
But, could you draw accurately the same figures on the same small space using the classic tools? No? Well, neither could I, and neither could the ancient designer unless he had better tools than that.
A) Why would the men in white be after me and not you, I just read lots of stuff into unrelated numbers, like you.
B) Men in black are both likely fictisious and related to aliens in stories about them, are you saying aliens are involved in your explanation?
yes, but can you? Yours is just as little serious analysis as mine was. It looks at numbers and adds them together in orders where their is no reason to, and does all sorts of additional drawing that robs the artist of any agency.No, not like me, not even remotely. I am not into numerology. Can you tell me, how you can make a distinction between numerology and serious analysis?
Unfortunatly the one with the knowledge appears to be you and you are layering it back onto the origional artist's work.I'd rather keep aliens out of this. It is difficult enough to conceive, where the theoretical dimension of the engraving, and of the monkey glyph from Nazca comes from in the first place.
Yet, it is there.. Someone had to have the knowledge and the means..
