THE CANDELABRUM - EL CANDELABRO
WHO MADE THE CANDELABRUM OF PARACAS?
In a smooth sand hill, the Bay of Paracas; one of the greatest mysteries of our history, a "immense Candelabrum", drawn is locked in on the changing sand surface, without it has never erased.
PIRATES And TREASURES
Beliefs that are tiled this figure would indicate the existence of some treasure hidden by the frightful pirates who knocked down the American Coasts in search of the appreciated gold that the Conquerors embarked to Europe, opposites to this theory maintain that the pirates were coarse beings, who would not make resemblance wonder.
EXTRATERRESTRIAL?
Other students assure that such lines, imborrables to the passage of the centuries, serian works of beings of other worlds, pués the Candelabrum aims directly at the famous lines of Is born, those that equally single can be appraised from the air and that would be signals of gigantic galaxpuerto for extraterrestrial ships.
OLD PERUVIAN THEY DREW THEM
Legend versions affirm that old the Peruvians that they crossed the sea, drew this Candelabrum with the purpose of orienting itself in their passages of fishing or conquest, because seen from earth it cannot be appreciated, which if it happens from the limpid sea Paraqueño.
THE CROSS OF THE NAVIGATOR
Possibly they were men Astronomers of the Culture Is born who constructed this geoglifo, that was not put there so that the travellers happened in front of without repairing in their presence. The Geoglifo to the Constellation is also associated de la Cruz of the South, well-known like the Cross of the navigators, to indicate to the sailors of the South hemisphere the location of the Austral Pole by means of its main axis that will serve as guide and direction to them in its trips. Of each one of the lateral arms, it takes his corresponding post, parallel to the main axis, of which he would be equivalent to the axis de la Cruz of the South, Guillermo Illescas in the meditated investigations about this Geoglifo, it has identified it totally with the Cross of the South and some stars of the constellation Centaur that would be those that gives their peculiar form him of Candelabrum. "Returning the eyes to the sky we could verify - it says that a little more to the left (To the east) of the star Beta Cross and a little more above her (To the north) is the Pi star Centaur, the same one that when being united with the corresponding star of this constellation by means of a projection generated between the stars that are indicated, would serve to that way determine the lateral post of that side being, parallel to the main axis. Guillermo Illescas.
This figure finds drawn in surface of sand hardened of color off-white, as yes linen cloth dealed with which it fell vertically from the sky to touching the waves, that with violence crash against the stratified rock base dark, where the beach does not exist. So that such place never was a wharf, nor destination for anybody. The main post measures approximately 200 mts. Of height, whereas the figure all sandal an amplitude of 60 mts. The lateral posts reach a length of 60 mts. From his origin to the summit and the furrows that make them visible it has a depth that varies at heart of 1,20 m.s with 3,20.
