	Nazca Lines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Despite their fame, these are confined to a small corner of the desert — or the pampa, as it is called by the Peruvians.
		Straight lines that go on for hundreds of kilometers, only swerving out by a few degrees, huge trapezoids and spirals, and animal figures, some of which can be seen in their entirety from the air — have been puzzling archeologists since the 1920s.
		She believed that the lines predict the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars and that they were used to determine the correct time of year for planting seeds, the annual appearance of water in the rivers, and the right times to harvest the crops.

	Ley lines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Most ley lines are identified simply by an aligned placing of marker sites, but some are supposed to be marked by straight tracks along part of their alignment.
		Their interpretation as prehistoric routes was as far as Watkins was prepared to go, despite the fact that numerous ley lines travelled across prohibitively steep hillsides, across rivers at points that cannot be forded and through the middle of bogs.
		However, Crawford’s reasons were straightforward: for ley lines to be acceptable to the archaeological community as prehistoric trackways, Watkins would need to demonstrate that either the alignments could be shown to be genuinely ancient by archaeological means or that the markers along their lengths were similarly ancient.

		However, the significance may be that the hedge area crossed by the ley line may be adversely affected by negative energies from underground water under the ley and automatically is an area where the hedge could not grow well and thus forms a gap.
		Thus, it is possible that the UFO sightings were along a grid with lines running north-south perpendicular to lines running east-west, spaced 30 minutes of an arc apart (30 nautical miles along north-south lines and 24 nautical miles along east-west lines).
		Otherwise, a straight path should have a spirit screen placed across it, or be guarded on both sides by spirit guardian sentinels.

	TIERRA SAJAMA: Context--The Sajama Lines
		While many of these sacred lines extend as far as ten or twenty kilometers (and perhaps further), they all seem to maintain a remarkable straightness despite rugged topography and natural obstacles.
		The Sajama lines are, on average, one to three meters wide, and from a few meters to several kilometers in length.
		Other theories postulate that the lines have astronomical significance, such as position of the sun as it rises or sets on the summer solstice and equinoxes or the position of Pleiades when it first appears in the Andean sky.

	The Nasca Lines: A Case Study of Cult Archaeology
		The parallel lines and interval intersections are laid out in such a way that told otherworldly visitors that this is a suitable place to land.
		Now we do not know exactly who built the lines, but the fact that they are only visible from thousands of feet in the air, required manpower and technical expertise beyond that of the indigenous people, and that they resemble an airport landing strip makes it very probable that alien contact produced the Nazca Lines.
		Despite the elaborate nature and magnitude of size of the Nazca lines, true archaeology has discerned and recognized the feasibility of their construction by ancient Nazcans.

	Ley lines, lines of power around the earth?
		Ley Lines were 're-discovered' on 30 June 1921 by Alfred Watkins (1855-1935), a locally well-known and respected Herefordshire businessman, who while looking at a map for features of interest noticed a straight line that passed over hill tops through various points of interest, all of which were ancient.
		Watkins surmised that these straight tracks, or ley lines as he called them at first, were the remnants of prehistoric trading routes.
		He went on to associate ley lines with the Greek god Hermes (the Roman Mercury, the Norse Woden) who was the god of communication and of boundaries, the winged messenger, and the guide to travellers on unknown paths.

	The Nazca Lines: Interesting Thing of the Day
		Various designs, ranging from straight lines and geometric forms to intricate figures of animals, insects, and humans, were created by removing these pebbles, exposing the lighter-color soil beneath.
		Although the astronomical calendar theory has raised doubts—including the observation that the multitude of lines and their varying orientations could be found to correspond with almost any trajectory and the fact that astronomical alignments have changed with time—Reiche made a huge contribution to the study of the lines.
		Although there is no record of how the lines might have served in religious ritual, some now believe that ancient pilgrims might have walked along the lines as a show of devotion to a particular sacred entity, much as labyrinths were used in medieval cathedrals in Europe, and to a certain extent today.

	Straight
		He's known that irrevocably as well, ironically enough, since the day of Lee Jordan's tenth birthday party when they were ten and a half and they were playing truth or dare and, to get back at George for the erection Bethany had given him with her tentative touch, he dared Lee to touch George's penis.
		He's known these things irrevocably forever now, since they're almost twelve, and, even though he's straight and George probably isn't, neither fact seems to explain why, even though there are two perfectly serviceable beds in their room, they're both crowded into his.
		His own cock is smooth and straight, thicker than George's, which he thinks his twin likes, even though he doesn't say or do anything to express such a thought.
