About the book: 2010 / The South American plateau of Nazca keeps many ancient secrets. Giant images of birds and animals, many kilometers of lines and geometric shapes...What are these - “runways”, places for religious ceremonies, symbols of Indian tribes? Why were huge drawings created in the desert, amazing in the accuracy of their proportions? None of the existing hypotheses can explain the Nazca riddle. Erich von Däniken offers his solution: messengers from distant planets once landed here.
