Spiral Geoglyphs

‘A circle in a spiral, a wheel within a wheel
Never ending nor beginning on an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind

Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind’

GEOGLYPHS: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL APPROACH | Rock Art Research

This article reviews the background and nomenclature of a specific type of graphic phenomenology currently known as geoglyphs. The properties of these materials, especially their technological variation, are examined here based on examples mainly from Peru and India. The record of the mechanical pressure technique to produce geoglyphs stands out, as it is documented at different archaeological sites, from which it is inferred that this technique had wide use in the past, especially in the Andes. It is concluded that the phenomenological definition of the geoglyphs is substantial in determining the nature of this type of archaeological evidence, with implications for its conservation, treatment and interpretation.

Львица в Аксуме напомнила о геоглифе в перуанском Паракасе.
Андский канделябр был создан во втором веке до н.э.(датировка по найденной рядом керамике) и имеет размеры 170×60метров (в русскоязычной Википедии почему-то сказано, что высота - 128м).

The Uncertain Future of Ancient Geoglyphs

In the southwestern Amazon, one archeologist is fighting to protect ancient sites from Brazil’s seemingly unstoppable agribusiness industry, now worth $524 billion. Farmers view the land as a cash cow, and the area’s historic geometric earth carvings –known as geoglyphs– are in the way. (Source: Bloomberg)
