The Loa Giants: Researcher Defends the Existence of a Civilization of Giants

[skywizard]

Alberto Nadgar Rojas, researcher, visual artist, and photographer, defends the existence in northern Chile of an ancient civilization of giants as a hypothesis to explain what may be the biggest geoglyphs in the world. He explained to Ancient Origins that some geoglyphs are atypical because they contain many designs and predominantly geometric forms, in comparison to the classical anthropomorphic geoglyphs of the Inca culture.

The researcher discovered the geoglyphs himself four years ago and says that they are evidence of the existence of a civilization that preceded the Incas by many years. In his opinion, proof of this is found in a kind of writing that is present on one of them : the largest one - which measures 480 meters (1574.8 feet). According to his hypothesis, the writing also suggests that ancient Sumerians or Egyptians could have visited northern Chile thousands of years ago.

Chilean researcher. It measures 480 meters long. Right: a graphical
representation of the same.

It is also very possible that the whole area was a great ancestral multi-cultural scene and related to astronomy, or perhaps agriculture. During more than four years of Nadgar’s research he has found evidence for large 3 and 4 way aqueducts and several kilometer long grooves, along with trails, ideograms, and diverse symbolism.

Nadgar told Ancient Origins that he plans to use a drone to capture high resolution images from the air and to study the site along with an epigraphist specialized in ancient writing. For the researcher, these forgotten and ancient cultures "used the ground as if it were a calligraphy notebook with equidistant space to inscribe their symbols or writing, which in some cases are very similar to Sumerian or Hebrew."

The following are his own version of the facts, the story of his work, and his conclusions thus far, written by Nadgar in the first person.

Possible 60 cm (23.6 inch) long footprint discovered in the Chilean
province of El Loa compared to a normal 24 cm (9.4 inches) long foot.

A long time ago, around 3,000 to 5,000 years BC, there was a race of giants in the oasis of the present city of Calama measuring between 3 to 5 meters (9.8-16.4 ft.) tall. It is believed they cultivated the land in a natural and humid environment and exchanged their crops, along with their culture, to other peoples of South America and other transoceanic cultures.

Calama comes from the word Kara- Aama meaning "water drenched ground." There are many questions about this town, with its origins perhaps coming from Asia, Europe, or Africa. There is photographic evidence suggesting this hypothesis, and in my four years of research I have compiled several examples to support it. Of course, like all studies, it should be reviewed and accepted by a competent body.

ideograms.

Traces of Gigantic Beings

The site is 6 x 2 kilometers (3.7-1.2 miles) and contains some of the most important enigmas of this latitude: in addition to the geoglyphs of these gigantic creatures that inhabited Loa thousands of years ago, I have obtained photographs where footprints are evident every 1.5 meters (4.9 ft.)

These are giant footprints of at least 60 cm (23.6 inches) long. There are so many that I did a study to determine the proportion of the footprints compared with those of a normal human, and the results concluded that whoever left the steps should have measured at least 3.70 meters (12.1 ft.) tall.

The Chilean photographer and researcher
has images that show footprints every
1.5 meters. The giant footprints measure
at least 60 cm long.

I was immediately reminded of this geoglyph in Medicine Hat Canada.

This paper was commissioned by "Earths International Research Society" (E.I.R.S.) with reference to the Indian Head anomaly located 40 miles East of Medicine Hat, Canada (50 0' 38.20N 110 6 48.32W). The "Indian Head" geoglyph, that is quite prominent from the air, has been the subject of speculation for many years. During our initial study it was realized that there was more than one caricature located in that vicinity. After further inspection it was learned that the caricatures that existed at the site were related to the Mesoamerican cultures that existed c900BC-c1500AD. Until now it was inconceivable that such a geoglyph could exist this far north of Mesoamerica. In addition to the caricatures there also existed raised earthen lines throughout the surrounding flat lands. From past experience it was realized that we were not only dealing with facial features but with linier geoglyphs, left there to tell a story. That story comes to life in this presentation.

This study involves the use of Geoglyphology. Although Geoglyphology has only recently come to the forefront, it has been used by ancient civilizations for over 12,000 years to outline territories, tell of travels and preserve history for those who are fortunate enough to decode it. The practice of using the geometry of ancient geoglyphs to release the hidden details of their origins is not a new practice and evidence of its use can be found throughout the world. This practice has been handed down through secret societies since long before the building of the Egyptian pyramids. I call the re-discovery and application of this ancient practice Geoglyphology. This study will terminate with conclusions based on the evidence collected from this site and from expertise gathered from the investigation of similar sites around the world.

In the field of Geoglyphology, we are plotting lines in a spherical world and then displaying the results on a flat plane. It is difficult to grasp the concept of combining Spherical Geometry with Plane Geometry. That is why modern Geoglyphology could not have been proposed without the advent of software that computes using Spherical Geometry while then displaying the results on a flat plane. This type of precise mapping precludes the initial plotting of these bearings on a flat map. Maps become distorted when converted from a sphere to a flat map. Any lines that are depicted in this article on a flat, non-satellite map were first plotted using the Google software "Google Earth" and then drawn on the flat map after the end points were determined. Even then, the proper curvature is missing. The compelling question is; what knowledge did the ancients possess, in past millennia, which allowed them to accomplish these precise calculations? The accuracy of our sophisticated mathematical software, and satellite imagery, is no more accurate than the calculations done by the ancients.
