Who knows what a conspiracy theorist thinks? But honestly the fact that geoglyph construction techniques seem to have evolved over at least several hundred years to become ever clearer does seem to be a(n even stronger) point against. If it was aliens, wouldn't they have had the perfect method from the start? In fact, if it was actually aliens, why would they not just burn the images into the soil from orbit with a laser instead of laboriously piling up rocks?

They may have tried and accidentally destroyed all the other test planets with their death Star.


My recollection is that the main hypothesis among these crowds (where's the conspiracy?) is that the lines are human made, but in response to 'visiters'.
