Flightpaths to the Gods

on BBC Two England

In 1926 the pilots of the first commercial flights over Peru reported strange sightings in the Nazca desert. Stretched out below them were giant geometric designs too vast to be appreciated from the ground. In the years since, varied explanations have been offered, from burial rituals of a lost civilisation to extraterrestrial visitation. The programme follows archeologist Dr Tony Spawforth as he mounts an expedition to the area, and reveals new and fascinating interpretations about the lines' meaning.
