The ancient Nazca Lines of Peru spark debate about their true purpose. The theories range from practical uses, such as irrigation and watering techniques, toward more symbolic roles, like sacrificial grounds and cultural practices. Some even go as far to say that they were an attempt to communicate with extraterrestrial beings. I tied the background of the area to modern day cattle farming and consumption. This is in relation to the comedic symbolization of aliens vivisecting cattle in pop culture.
