i should stress again that no definitive explanation has been agreed upon yet the exploration analysis and interpretation of the geoglyphs is as popular as ever in recent years in june of NUMBER_TOKEN a trio of japanese research has concluded that many of the bird biomoths have been misidentified the famous hummingbird for example is now considered to be a hermit close enough they belong to the same genus but hermits are not local to the nazca pampers the trio have also spotted a pelican hailing from the coast their conclusion is that nazcar artists came across these birds while traveling and when choosing subjects for their drawings they went for the exotic option in november of NUMBER_TOKEN another japanese research team from yamagata university discovered an impressive NUMBER_TOKEN new drawings on the nazca pamper and the surrounding area NUMBER_TOKEN of them were identified through field work analysis of high resolution NUMBER_TOKENd data the NUMBER_TOKENrd was discovered by developing an artificial intelligence model on a server configured with the deep learning platform ibm watson the yamagata research offers new interpretation as to the nature of the geoglyphs the oldest shapes dubbed type b date to the initial nazca period between NUMBER_TOKEN bc and NUMBER_TOKEN. they are between NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN meters in length and form solid colored surfaces type a geoglyphs are over NUMBER_TOKEN meters long were created in the early nazca period NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN a.d the team concluded that type a figures delimited ritual places here in inhabitants of the valley performed ceremonies involving the destruction of pottery vessels while type b's usually found on sloping inclines may have been used as way posts for travelers or to demarcate territories in a way they indicated that a certain area belonged to a certain social group from may to november NUMBER_TOKEN peruvian archaeologist johnny island identified further type b shapes with the help of a drone the new geoglyphs are located in both the nazca and papa valleys and appeared to belong to an earlier tradition the latest find is the internet's best friend a NUMBER_TOKEN meter long cat resting on the side of a hill not all new finds are on the fluffy side before revealing the cat professor spotted a NUMBER_TOKEN meter long biomorph with terrifying features it appears to be an orca but it has a human arm and it holds a severed head moorheads appear to have been ingested by the creature the orca is located some NUMBER_TOKEN kilometers north of the unesco site and isla believes it to belong to a transitional stage between the culture that carved the type b's and the later nazca tradition so he started today's episode by referring to the nazca plane as an enormous canvas if there's something we've learned from the existing studies it's that it could also be compared to a giant book a book of conflicting stories in which each chapter hints at a different solution wildly pointing to opposite directions recent technology such as drones or ai has helped us read plot twists previously hidden between the lines but we are far from flicking to the last page where the mystery is revealed so i really hope you found this video interesting if you did please do hit that thumbs up button below don't forget to subscribe and as always thank you for watching
