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.
